Fingertips and Noses by Newsong. This is actually the only Newsong song that I like--or appreciate. I do only have that one album, so it's not like I've heard tons of their songs. But still this one song is just oh-so-magical for me. It's just a beautiful, beautiful song that gets me every single time.
Up in the hills somewhere in Kentucky
In a little old school way back in the nothing
Where special kids born with special needs
Are sent to learn life's ABCs
Their teacher, Mrs. Jones, tells them all about Jesus
How in the twinkling of an eye He's coming back to get us
About streets of gold and pearly gates
How they want to go, they just can't wait
And she can't keep them in their seats
They're all at the windows straining to see
And it's
Fingertips and noses pressed to the windowpanes
Longing eyes, expectant hearts for Him to come again
All they know is that they love Him so
And if He said He'd come, He's coming
And they can't keep their windows clean
For fingertips and noses
She tried to explain to the kids about His coming
She tried to calm them down, but they just wouldn't listen
They just giggled and they clapped their hands
They're so excited that He's coming for them
And the first thing you know they're out of their seats
Back at the windows straining to see
Where will Jesus find us when He comes again?
Will we be like little children waiting just for Him?
With our
Fingertips and noses pressed to the windowpanes
Longing eyes, expectant hearts for Him to come again
All we know is that we love Him so
And if He said He'd come, He's coming
And we can't keep our windows clean
For our fingertips and noses
When God Ran by Benny Hester. This was probably my first favorite, favorite song. I was six or seven, I think? Anyway, it's one of those oh-so-magical songs for me. Though to be honest Benny Hester's whole album, Benny From Here, makes me super-super-super happy. Dare I admit that I listen to it that much?!
Almighty God,We are the Reason by David Meece. Oh, how I love, love, love this song. It's one of the reasons why, I think, I've always felt it oh-so-crucial for every Christmas celebration to include the Easter message. And it does work both ways, of course. David Meece's albums, again, are ones I grew up with. (I must say that I just love, love, love "Today is the Day.") I can *still* sing along with so many of these!
The Great I Am
Immoveable Rock,
Omnipotent powerful
Awesome Lord,
Victorious Warrior
Mighty Conquerer,
Commanding King of Kings
And the only time,
the only time I ever saw Him run
Was when
He ran to me,
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
And said "My son's come home again".
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"
It caught me by surprise when God ran
The day I left Home,
I knew I'd broken His heart
I wondered if
Things would ever be the same,
Then one night,
I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road, ahead I could see
It was the only time,
the only time I ever saw Him run
Was when He ran to me,
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
And said "My son's come home again".
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"
It caught me by surprise, It dropped me to my knees
When God ran
Bridge
Holy God, Righteous One
Who turned my way
Now I know, You've been waiting
For this day
I've perhaps saved the best for last. For this is the song that inspired this post. For this is the song that I have newly discovered. I *did* know about it last December. I remember falling in love with it then. I remember desperately wanting it on an album. But then life got busy and I didn't notice that it is on his newest album--which was released last month I think? Anyway, MEANT TO BE is one of those powerful songs. One of those songs that move you.
