Preparing For Yom Teruah - Feast of Trumpets 2012 WORSHIP

Thought I'd share some songs that we'llplay at our feast of trumpets. I've put the youtube clips in because they have the words. I like 'As Fas As the East is From the West' which I think Loz introduced to me years ago because it talks of God removing our transgressions from us. I love that 'The Days of Elijah' talks about Him 'riding on the clouds at the trumpet call' which is also a focus for us this feast as we see Yeshua's coming being foreshadowed in this set-apart time.

Below is a little song we made up for our Feast of Trumpets celebration. Each year we read aloud the passage from Micah 7 which says, "Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgressions of the remnant of His inheritance? You do not stay angry forever, but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us, you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl our iniquities into the depths of the sea".

We just thought it might encourage somone else out there to sing in praise to Yah!

{Disclaimer - this was recorded less than 2 hours after i composed the tune at Lori's. It's a little too fast in this recording. Loz has now edited this a little. It was recorded on a hand-held recorder so we could share it in time for the Feast!}

Run to My Father {Nat's Song}

This is a song I wrote and very roughly recorded for my darling friend Nat about losing her precious son Sebastian Levi Mardon. Their journey has been one of faith and hope in the midst of great heartache, trial and pain. Nat is one of my closest friends. Our boys were born a day apart and I've been honoured and humbled to walk along side her during this time. We share a very special bond and I felt inspired by Yah to write this song for her.

You can read about Nat's journey through the celebration, the pain and the love they have walked over at LOVE NEVER FAILS. You can read about Trisomy 18 HERE.

Like I said, this is a rough recording; no mic's, no amps, nothing fancy. Just me sitting in my loungeroom with my guitar singing a song I wrote about my friend's journey and how her Loving Father is carrying her through it all.

The lyrics to the song are:

Verse One:
It's funny how life can change in one moment,
when everything insignificant fades away
How time can stand still in that moment
And your breath can be taken away

Pre Chorus:
And through the pain and the tears
God knew all of my fears
And did not break me (no no)
And I never knew
that losing you
would make me, would make me

Chorus:
Run to my Father
into His arms
And let Him carry me like on wings of eagles
Run to my Father
into His arms
And let Him heal, let him heal my broken heart

Verse Two:
There are days when the darkness surrounds me
And I feel lost, alone and afraid
Then there are days where your memory is so bright
And God's hope really lights my way

(Back to pre chorus and chorus)
Bridge:
And you are not forgotten
I love you still so much
You have changed my life forever
And I am thankful this journey made me

(Back to chorus) 

Love to my precious friends Nat & Greg, Jai, Eli and Lani and in special memory of Sebastian Levi.
