on every side by troubles,
but not crushed and broken.
We are perplexed
because
we don't know why things happen as they do,
but we don't give up and quit.
We are hunted down,
but God never abandons us.
We get knocked down,
but we get up again
and keep going"
(2 Corinthians 4:8-9 The Living Bible).
halliujuah! AMEN!

Wow! I love these verses :)
ReplyDeletewe're going to be memorizing them as a youth group soon this year... each year we intensely memorize a different book of the Bible. this year we're doing 1&2 Corinthians... love the verses!
Some of my favourite verses are the following:
For I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body I live by faith in th Son of God who loved me and gave himeself for me (Galatians 2 : 20-21)
For nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37)
Thanks so much Susie!
And go for it, Ashley M! :) It'll be beautiful, i'm sure. ^_^ Then maybe submit it to the creative corner so we can see it! :D

@Rebecca and Erin: Thanks! I will send it in if I write one :D
ReplyDeleteHere's the one I wrote before:
The Meaning of Surrender:
VERSE 1:
Lord bring me to my knees
Show me what it means
Reveal to me the meaning of surrender
I want to give to You
Every part of me
Lord I just want to surrender
CHORUS:
Take my life, every part of me
Use me for Your glory, God
Break me, mold me, anything
Here and now, I surrender
VERSE 2:
I give my life to you
All my hopes and dreams
Is this the meaning of surrender
Now I give to you
Every part of me
Lord I just want to surrender
CHORUS:
Take my life, every part of me
Use me for your glory, God
Break me, mold me, anything
Here and now, I surrender
BRIDGE:
Lord I stand before You
Ready for You
I give my life to You
CHORUS:
Take my life, every part of me
Use me for your glory, God
Break me, mold me, anything
Here and now, I surrender
VERSE 3:
Lord, now I’m on my knees
I know now what it means
I think I’ve found the meaning of surrender
I’ve given to You
Every part of me
Lord, my life to You I surrender
Wow, Ashley M., that is a really good song. You have a great gift of writing.

Remembering this passage.
ReplyDeleteAnd you, with love.
Ashley M, send me a video of you singing the song you wrote from the blog verse, and I'll try to get it posted.
ReplyDeleteSusie Shellenberger
I would, but it doesn't have music yet, and I can't upload videos.... and I don't think my mom would want a video of me online for everyone to see. (And I can't sing... :P)
ReplyDeleteI like that verse. I feel crushed. Sometimes I wonder if things will ever be okay.
