May this song be our prayer today as we go along the narrow path. 

Title: Make My Life an Alleluia

Composer/Writer: Ruth Elaine Schram

Genre: Hymn

Performed by: Grandview Camp

Make My Life an Alleluia 

Verse 1: 

Make my life an alleluia, 

A song of praise to You each day.

To proclaim Your grace and glory, 

Fill my heart with Your praise, I pray.

When I stand at the mountain top,

or the valley of despair, 

This will be my cry, my song, my prayer;

Lord, make my life an alleluia.

Verse 2:

Make my life an alleluia, 

A gift of love to You my King.

I will join with all creation, 

In the song that the heavens sing.

The earth will turn, and the planets spin, 

As the seasons ebb and flow;

Still, Your grace surrounds me as I go, 

Lord, make my life an alleluia.

Verse 3:

Make my life an alleluia, 

This offering of myself I give to you.

I will share Your grace and mercy

For as long as I shall live.

When I come to my journey's end, 

May those left behind be reminded, 

This has been my cry, my song, my prayer:

Lord, make my life an alleluia.

Lord, make my life an alleluia.

Musical Monday

Greetings on this rainy November day! Today I would like to share a song that has become very near and dear to my heart recently.  As many of you may know, God has brought many, MANY changes into my life in the last 2 years.  Some of it has been hard, some exciting, some challenging, some painful, but it has ALL been good for me. Romans 8:28 has been evident in my life but my own stubbornness and hard heart made it difficult to see that.  While listening to the Galkin CD, "Christ, only always" this song stood out. It summed up my last 2 years perfectly and with tears in my eyes and joy in my heart I thanked God for making us return to Him. 

Title: Come, let us return to the Lord

Composer/writer: Dick and Melodie Tunney

Genre: Hymn

Performed by: Galkin Evangelistic Team

Come, let us return to the Lord

Verse 1:

All of us like sheep have gone astray

Seeking our own way,

We've left the Shepherds care again. 

Through the wilderness we wander,

in the hopelessness of sin.

We must run into His arms, 

from where we've been.

Chorus:

Oh, Come let us return to the Lord,

let our hearts yearn for the Lord.

Only His love will save us.

For though our lives are broken 

He will mend and restore our hope again

Let us return to the Lord

Let us return to the Lord.

Verse 2:

By His grace alone we have been saved,

rescued from the grave.

And through His blood we have new life

May the passion of our first love

 bring us to our knees. 

We can know the heart of God

if we believe

Chorus:

So, Come let us return to the Lord

let our hearts yearn for the Lord.

Only His love will save us.

For though our lives are broken

 He will mend and restore our hope again

Let us return to the Lord

Bridge:

Let us return to the One 

who breaks our pride so He can heal us.

To the One who binds our wounds 

and knows our scars.

Chorus:

Let us return to the Lord,

Let our hearts yearn for the Lord.

Only His love will save us

For though our lives are broken 

He will mend and restore our hope again

Let us return to the Lord

Let us return to the Lord

For though our lives are broken

He will mend and restore our hope again

Let us return to the Lord

Let us return to the Lord

Let us return to the Lord.
