HEART OF WORSHIP,,,.,HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH... MY FATHER'S EYES...

SUNDAY IN THE SON

Today, like each Sunday on this blog, I have changed the first song on the playlist to become our theme song for the week. This week, I have chosen 3 songs in honor of:

.

God, the Father

God, the Son, and

God, the Holy Spirit who lives in my husband -Steve Sikes.

Let me put it this way - we are ending the month focused on BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART, FOR THEY WILL SEE GOD. This whole concept takes me to the song "Heart of Worship". Then, to take it a step further, the second song, "Household of Faith", reminds me of Steve and I as a young couple years ago, who out of pure hearts, committed to building our home to the glory of God. It's now been over 24 years since our youngest of four was born. Our children love their Daddy, dearly. They see Him as a reflection of our Heavenly Father. He has so many of our Father's characteristics, including, those described in the song "Father's Eyes". On this day that we celebrate and remember Jesus, we also celebrate you, Steve Sikes... we see Jesus in you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

-You see the good in things when good is not around.

-You look for sources of help - seeking and finding.

-You are full of compassion!

HEART OF WORSHIP LYRICS

as sung by Phillips, Craig, and Dean

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come

Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required

You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

CHORUS
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus

I'm sorry, Lord for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve

Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath

HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH

LYRICS AS SUNG BY STEVE GREEN

Here we are at the start,

committing to each other
By His word and from our hearts
We will be a family

in a house that will be a home
And with faith we'll build it strong

Chorus:
We'll build a household of faith
That together we can make
And when the strong winds blow

it won't fall down
As one in Him we'll grow

and the whole world will know...
we are a household of faith.

Now to be a family

we've got to love each other
At any cost - unselfishly
And our home must be a place

that fully abounds with grace
A reflection of His face.

Chorus:

MY FATHER'S EYES
AS SUNG BY AMY GRANT
I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl,
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world.
But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray:
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say,

She's got her Father's eyes,
Her Father's eyes;
Eyes that find the good in things,
When good is not around;
Eyes that find the source of help,
When help just can't be found;
Eyes full of compassion,
Seeing every pain;
Knowing what you're going through
And feeling it the same.
Just like my Father's eyes,
My Father's eyes,
My Father's eyes,
Just like my Father's eyes.

And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done,
Good and bad they'll all be had to see by everyone.
And when you're called to stand and tell just what you saw in me,
More than anything I know, I want your words to be,

She had her Father's eyes,
Her Father's eyes;
Eyes that found the good in things,
When good was not around;
Eyes that found the source of help,
When help would not be found;
Eyes full of compassion,
Seeing every pain;
Knowing what you're going through,
And feeling it the same.
Just like my Father's eyes,
My Father's eyes,
My Father's eyes,
Just like my Father's eyes.
My Father's eyes,
My Father's eyes,
