passion 2012 songs!

throughout the week, there were several songs that were released and made for just for us.

the awesome new is that there were new songs to worship.

but the bad news is that because of that, they're not on CD till march...MARCH!

here were the songs that totally enhanced my experience.

'we raise our white flag, we surrender all to you.  all for you.

we raise our white flag, the war is over. love has come. your love has won.

we lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high'  

--white flag and the Passion theme song

'let our praise be Your welcome, let our songs be a sign,

we are here for You.  we are here for YOU.....

let our shout be your anthem, let our praise fill the skies,

we are here for You. we are here for YOU.

we welcome You with praise, we welcome You with praise.

almighty God of love, be welcomed in this place.

Let every heart adore, let every soul awake.

almighty God of love, be welcomed in this place.'

--we are here for You, matt redman

{this is the song that always played when we were in nosebleed section and bummed.  this slapped us into the right mindset, for sure}

'i'm not ashamed of the One who saved my soul.

i'm not ashamed of the One who saved my soul, my soul.

this fire inside of me, is burning for Your name,

i'm not ashamed.  NO, NO. (insert fist pump). i'm not ashamed!'

--i'm not ashamed, kristian stanfill

'all i need, i have found.

--Only One, chris tomlin

'on the altar of our praise, let there be no higher name,

Jesus Son of God.

You laid down your perfect life, you are the sacrifice,

Jesus Son of God.
....

be lifted higher than all You've overcome,

Your name be louder than any other song.

there is no power that can come against Your love,

the cross was enough, the cross was enough!'

the highest name of all,

you're all you say you are'

'i lay me down i'm not my own,

i belong to You alone.

hand on my heart this much is true,

there's no life apart from You,

'waiting here for you, 

with our hands lifted high in praise.

and its you, we adore, singing alleluia'

--waiting here for you, christy nockels

one night i cried during the 'i will follow, no turning back' and 'white flag'.  

something about that night, january 3rd, was just so amazing. i felt so overwhelmed by His love and i wanted to badly to just give my all, ALL the time.  there's NO turning back.  this relationship is a fighting battle.  a battle to be intention and draw near to Him, so He can draw near to me. and a battle that is so so worth it.

it had been my prayer (oddly enough) that i would cry during worship at Passion.

i just feel so intimate with Him during worship, and knew i wanted to get to that place where i was so overwhelmed, i couldn't help but cry.  and it happened.  i was just so stinking overwhelmed by my almighty Savior!

and on that night of january 3rd, chris tomlin also led us all in 'our god is greater, our god is stronger' in several different languages.  it was one of the most amazing things.  french, spanish, swahili and many others.  it was beyond powerful to have the representation of all the nations, praising our King.
