THURSDAY TUNE #10: Hold Me by Jamie Grace

 

I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you, the way you
I’ve had a long day, I just wanna relax
Don’t have time for my friends, no time to chit chat
Problems at my job, wonderin’ what to do
I know I should be working but I’m thinking of you and

Just when I feel this crazy world is gonna bring me down
That’s when your smile comes around

Oh, I love the way you hold me, by my side you’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way

I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can’t imagine even loving you less

Lord, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh

Well you, took my day and you flipped it around
Calmed the tidal wave and put my feet on the ground
Forever in my heart, always on my mind
It’s crazy how I think about you all of the time

And just when I think I’m ’bout to figure you out
You make me wanna sing and shout

I love the way you hold me, by my side you’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way

I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can’t imagine even loving you less

Lord, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh

from air1.com
I’m so grateful and thankful for all you’ve done
Wish I could tell you in a short story or poem
But all I have is my voice and this guitar
And you have my heart
Oh, I love the way you hold me, by my side you’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I’ll always be
You take each and every day, every day, every

I love the way you hold me, by my side you’ll always be
You take each and every day oh-so-special
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way

I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can’t imagine even loving you less

Lord, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh
Oh, I love

I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me, hold me, hold me

THURSDAY TUNE #9: Words by Hawk Nelson

Earlier today, I saw stickers placed on most of the tables in the Human Resources department. I couldn’t remember the exact quote that was printed on the stickers, but, I remember reading something like this: “I like who I am. I am great in what I do…”

I laughed and thought to myself: “Yes naman, para ma-motivate ang employees! hahaha.” But after looking at the sticker again, I realized that the words we read and hear really do change the way we view things, others, and ourselves. These words surely affect our thoughts and our behavior.

This Thursday’s tune, “Words”, is indeed one of the many convicting and, at the same time, encouraging songs I’ve heard in my life. Every time I listen to it, I am humbled and reminded to watch the words that I read and say, since I know that they would influence me and others in different ways. But more importantly, I am encouraged to guard my mouth (which means guarding my mind and heart too) because I know that this would bring honor to God. :)

Psalm 19:14

“May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.”

 


I hope this song encourages you. :)

THURSDAY TUNE #8: Center of It by Chris August

“Today is not my day.” I’ve heard myself murmur this statement a lot of times a while ago because I made mistakes at work. Although these mistakes weren’t major ones and my colleagues were very gracious to me, I was still bothered by my carelessness today.

While I was on my way to the restroom in the office, I found myself singing one of my favorite songs when I was younger: “’cause you had a bad day. You’re taking one down. You sing a sad song just to turn it around…”

And somehow, God caught my attention and reminded of the verses in the Bible that I read before going to work. It is actually my “life passage”:

It says in Proverbs  3:5-6

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

And it hit me. I saw how I was so concerned with myself that I forgot about God and His character. I was giving in to the idea of having “bad days”, when in fact, there really are no bad days because of God’s goodness.

I thought to myself, “Why am I so disheartened? I made mistakes and I can’t turn back time and change what I did. But, by God’s grace, I know that I can learn from them and improve more in the future.”

I realized that there really was something wrong with the statement: “Today is not my day.” because it’s really not about ME. :)

Right then and there, I thanked God and confessed about how I chose not to trust in Him in those simple moments. I thanked Him even for the mistakes that I’ve made because I know that He can still use those to help me grow as an employee and be excellent for Him. :)

On my way home, I decided to change the song that was playing in my head to “Center of It” by Chris August. This song encourages me a lot to remember that God’s character never changes no matter what situation we are in. He is and will forever be good and faithful. :)

THURSDAY TUNE #7: Thank You by Jay Enrile

I’ve been surrounded with negative vibes these past few days and honestly, it has been tough. But, God continues to remind me that His love for me never changes; that He will always be good; and that He will always be faithful, no matter what. May this song encourage you today. :)

THANK YOU
By Jay Enrile

Thank you for emptiness, thank you for rage
Thanks for confusion and the labyrinth it’s made
Thanks for denial, thank you for lust
Thanks for rejection and all the hurts from those I trust

Thank you that I haven’t heard the sweetest sound
Because I know
It’s the only way my knees will scrape the ground

Thanks for depression and not wanting to live
Thanks for the nights when I had nothing left to give
Thanks for allowing my world to cave in
I had a life without you that was colored with sin

Now I know that you brought me to a dark and dirty place Just to find that my treasure is hidden in your grace
And its clear that hereafter I wont have to live my days
Apart from you, apart from truth, I found my rightful place
In your arms, beautiful, at home in your embrace
Finally I’m captured by a light that doesn’t fade
The fire in your eyes is why my heart is up in flames

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” -Romans 8:28
