So I have finally returned, after working - both at a job and at summer college classes - myself half to death. I made it back! And it's even a Friday to boot!
So, in the two months I was missing, I found three additional song to use for Feel-Good Friday. Today's song is a newer one by MercyMe. this song is titled "Move" and reminds me that God is in control no matter what happens.
I'm not about to give up
Because I heard you say
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days
I wont stop, Ill keep my head up
No, I'm not here to stay
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days
I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face
[Chorus]
When life wont play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I cant seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I wont let it drag me down
Oh, I'll keep dancing anyway
We are getting into some of the faster-paced videos, but I don't see anything wrong with that. Today's video is Hawk Nelson's "Friend Like That."
I don't know the lyrics would be needed, but if you do, here they are:
I like it simple and I'm not a superman
I never said that I was more than that
I'm not a wannabe, I'm who I wanna be
And I intend to be how You created me
I, I need somebody on the inside
I, I want somebody who can set me free
I'm not the only one who feels like this
I've got a few others around me
Hey let me hear ya say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey if you got a friend like that
Hey let's scream and shout
If you know what I'm talkin' `bout
Anybody got a friend like that
I once was little and I always had a plan
You thought my friendliness was just an act
I'll be your friend indeed, and you can count on me
And I can guarantee, your friend I'll always be
I, I need somebody on the inside
I, I want somebody who can set me free
I'm not the only one who feels like this
I've got a few others around me
Hey let me hear ya say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey if you got a friend like that
Hey let's scream and shout
If you know what I'm talkin' `bout
Anybody got a friend like that
Does anyone out there feel alone
Can anyone hear me
Down and out, your heart is cold
It's never easy
But if you believe that there is hope
Than sing it with me
Hey let me hear ya say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey if you got a friend like that
Hey let's scream and shout
If you know what I'm talkin' `bout
Anybody got a friend like that
Hey let me hear ya say
Does anybody feel this way
Hey if you got a friend like that
Hey let's scream and shout
If you know what I'm talkin' `bout
Anybody got a friend like that
I, I need somebody on the inside
I, I want somebody who can set me free
I'm not the only one who feels like this
I've got a few others around me
I apologize. This was supposed to be done yesterday, but I was busily working on a story for FFN, and thus I forgot. So please accept my apologies, and enjoy this song by Jason Gray.
Now I won't deny
The worst you could say about me
But I'm not defined
By mistakes that I've made
Because God says of me
I am not who I was
I am being remade
I am new
I am chosen and holy
And I'm dearly loved
I am new
Who I thought I was
And who I thought I had to be
I had to give them both up
Cause neither were willing
To ever believe
I am not who I was
I am being remade
I am new
I am chosen and holy
And I'm dearly loved
I am new
Too long I have lived
In the shadows of shame
Believing that there
Was no way I could change
But the one who is making everything new
Doesn't see me the way that I do
He doesn't see me the way that I do
I am not who I was
I am being remade
I am new
I am chosen and holy
And I'm dearly loved
I am new
I am not who I was
I am being remade I am new
Dead to the old man I'm coming alive
I am new
Forgiven beloved
Hidden in Christ
Made in the image of the Giver of Life
Righteous and holy
Reborn and remade
Accepted and worthy this is our new name
This is who we are now...
Now I won't deny
The worst you could say about me
But I'm not defined
I've had quite a rough week this week. I hope next week is better. remember, I'm still looking for material for this, so if you've got something you think would make a good FGF post, drop me a link. for now, here's this week's video: Chris August's 'Starry Night'
From the birds that sing in the tallest trees
To the human life of you and me
From the desert sands to the place we stand
He is God of all, He is everything
I’m giving my life to the Only One who makes the moon reflect the sun
Every starry night that was His design
I’m giving my life to the Only Son who was and is and yet to come
Let the praises ring ’cause He is everything
‘Cause He is everything
From the autumn leaves that will ride the breeze
To the faith it takes to pray and sing
From the painted sky to my plank filled eye
He is God of all, He is everything
Hallelujah Hallelujah I believe (x2)
I’m giving my life to the Only One who makes the moon reflect the sun
I’m giving my life to the Only Son who was and is and yet to come
I’m giving my life to the Only One who makes the moon reflect the sun
Every starry night that was His design
I’m giving my life to the Only Son who was and is and yet to come
Let the Angels sing that He is Heavenly
So let the praises ring ’cause He is everything
I don't know about you, but I haven't seen cheerful news in awhile. And that got me thinking: I need to do something cheerful right before the weekend, just as a way to help everyone relax and enjoy the weekend. Thus, this past Monday, Feel-Good Friday was concieved.
The idea is to have some uplifting song or interesting video or happy news story down here, so we can all dump off the stress of the week and have a good weekend. I would to make this a regular feature, but we'll have to see what I can find. Right now I have enough material to run this feature on my blog for about eight weeks. If anyone has a song to suggest or a cheerful story they think would make a good Feel-Good Friday report, drop a link to it in the comments, and maybe it can be a report.
But for now, let's get to the first video. Peter Furler is the former singer of Newboys, who left to pursure his own goals. This is one of his first singles, called "Reach."
I am going to post the lyrics here, just on the off chance that someone has some trouble with the lyrics in the video. (I don't know why they would, but just in case.)
You hold the weight of the world
Still I don't slip through your hands
Your love is bigger
Than just an ocean built by man
I fall again and again,
But you whisper, "You're still mine."
You feel the pain of the world,
But you never push mine aside.
CHORUS:
And You reach for me
With a love that quiets all my fears
And You reach for me
Like a Father wipes away the tears
So many people in this world,
But I hear You calling out my name.
You reach for me.
Now I'm never gonna be the same.
VERSE 2:
You know all of my fears
There's nothing Your eyes can't see.
When I tried to give up,
Lord, you never gave up on me.
I give You all of my hopes and dreams,
I lay them down.
Of all the places I've looked,
You're the one truth I have found.
CHORUS:
And You reach for me
With a love that quiets all my fears
And You reach for me
Like a Father wipes away the tears
So many people in this world,
But I hear You calling out my name.
You reach for me.
Now I'm never gonna be the same.
BRIDGE:
You hold the weight of the world,
Still I don't slip through Your hands.
You put the stars in the sky.
You know every grain of sand.
CHORUS:
But You reach for me
With a love that quiets all my fears.
And You reach for me,
Like a Father wipes away the tears.
So many people in this world,
But I hear You calling out my name.
You reach for me.
Now I'm never gonna be the same.
You reach for me.
For me.
Have a great weekend everyone! Remember, if you have a video or a recent newstory you want to nominate for next week's Feel-Good Friday post, send it on in!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces." For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, "Peace be within you." Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.
College keeps me busy, but when I have free time I enjoy writing stories, listening to music, surfing the web, and jewelry making. I love to read, and like to collect books.
