For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.
Psalm 139:13‭-‬18 ESV

"CREATED TO CREATE" [Psalm 139:14] #acousticworship

Hello listener!

I recorded this worship and prayer moment after hearing our pastor teach though James chapter 5 this morning! I was struck by the beauty of the Father's patience in my life and I wanted to bring Him an offering of awe at His patience today... His Patience is not only fruit of His presence, but it is also our salvation...

May I encourage you to open a bible up to James 5:7-12, or to look that passage up online as you listen to this?

it reads:

Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful. But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.
James 5:7‭-‬12 ESV

May your heart be touched by the Holy Spirit as you listen to this worship and prayer moment. May we be able to say with David,

I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.
Psalm 40:1‭-‬3 ESV



PATIENT, YOU ARE [James 5:7-12] #acousticworship

A confession and a prayer about finding what I desire in the Father. Coming to know that my dad on earth is imperfect, but my Father in heaven is perfect. In love, discipline, mercy, intimacy, and in every way. I am imperfect. That is shown in my longing for perfect from the imperfect. Thank you Father in heaven for this lesson tonight. Teach me to cling only to Christ, for no other reason except to cling to Christ.

Freestyle acoustic session

This playlist contains my first ever released EP project entitled "Turning My Eyes". This project is about what happens to people and their relationships when unholy broken sinners turn their eyes to a holy perfect God. This happens because of Christ and the cross. WHO Christ was, and WHAT he DID made all the difference, holiness and freedom and true love and intimacy are breaking out here on earth now through the presence of Christ, his very Holy Spirit living among the people of God! 

My prayer is that you will find the Father who is full of love, mercy, and kindness at the end of yourself, at the cross, in Jesus Christ. Here you will know who you REALLY are and how you've been created to TRULY live!

Thank you for listening, sharing and journeying with me on this project!

06 I've Been Waiting All My Life

This is a freestyle I recorded tonight after recording in the afternoon an instrumental track for a friend. I pulled all the gear out and had a blast today! I'm so excited for the finished work. This little song came out of reflecting on the words of the spoken word I was producing behind. The words talked about Jesus and what he suffered and endured to be accepted. I feel like and see so many struggling for love and acceptance, and not believing that they are loved by God, and pushing out His Father love for lesser loves. This song is about that, and about receiving the Fathers love instead of trying to find it in 'these women'.

Never Met a Father - Bread & Wine Spontaneous worship moment

Good evening all!

This song is one of my favourites off of Bethel's latest Have it All album! This is my own take on it, stripped down to the piano and vocals. 

There are so many fatherless people in our day and age. Everywhere I see so many people and hearts crying out to be defined by something greater than themselves, to give them the purpose and life and love they are desperate for. Jesus CAME to make us SONS AND DAUGHTERS of the true living God, who our brother Jesus revealed to be best known as FATHER. This truth is taking over my heart in new ways every day. Praying that the prodigals come home, that every place of fear in our hearts be transformed by the beauty of God's grace, that sonship would be poured out on this generation like never before (Romans 8, Galatians 4:16, 1 John).

Hope this finds your ears and hearts well!

Spirit Move // Bethel // a Prayer for Prodigals

Hey everyone!

I thought I would try something a little different, and share some thoughts on worship and where the Lord has been challenging me and building me up as a worshipper, both in the context of church and in the everyday moment to moment. I thought it would be cool to try and share some of my thoughts and to hear back from other people about what they think! I'm hoping soundcloud, facebook, and social media could be a good place to start this conversation! 

I hope this reaches a few ears, and some conversations are started :)

Take care, and God bless!

Worship Podcast 1 // Introduction & What's going on in your heart as you worship?

Hey listener's!

Here is a track I created yesterday after a crazy week and a weekend of some good moments of solitude with Jesus. This song came from a place of spending time with the Father in his word (specifically Colossians 1) and then seeing my situation and life and people differently because of his love! I hope you can connect with me and enjoy this song as much as I enjoyed creating it :)

Thanks for tuning in!

-Josh


Lyrics:

I saw things that I'd never seen before
I saw things that I'd never seen before
Through the window of your heart
And now I'm flying out into Your world, Your world, Your world!

I'm stepping out
And I'm taking off,
Going so high!

I was a troubled man all consumed in himself
I was busy heart, racin all around, goin crazy
I was reacting to the fear that I felt
But I heard you call my name to the quiet place

I just can't escape it
I've been pushing pavement
I can't even see what's infront of me
I need to think deeper
See a little clearer,
Remember where I'm going for eternity

I saw things that I'd never seen before
I saw things that I'd never seen before
Through the window of your heart
And now I'm flying out into Your world, Your world, Your world!

I'm stepping out
And I'm taking off,
Going so high!

I went straight to the well that never runs dry
To the arms of the Father, who loves away lies
That I didn't measure up
That I wasn't good enough
Yeah I was looking all along in the wrong place
I heard my Father say that my life was in Christ
That he see's our faith
And our love for the saints
That He lives in our family, yea He lives in our family

This is joy, for eternity
This is joy, that You live in me!
This is joy, we are family,
That we'll with You, for eternity.

Romans 8:26-27 (ESV)

26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Healing Too Deep For Words (Romans 8:26-27) - Spontaneous Worship

The Son You See In Me - Josh Lehman

Brennan Manning:
The next time you look at that cross, and learn at what price you were loved, all God asks is that you marvel, be surprised, let your mouth hang open in silent wonder, and begin to breath deeply. I would suggest that from this moment, before you put your head on your pillow tonight, you let the focus of your inner life, rest on this one truth. The staggering, mind blowing truth, that God loves you just as you are, and not as you should be, because nobody in this building is, as they should be. That God loves you, not the person next to you, not that God loves Billy Graham, Mother Teresa, not that God loves the church, the world, not that God loves in some vague way, the whole human race, but the truth that God loves you, in such as way, that he would rather die than be without you.

Josh:
Tell me bout the man that you see in me
I’m tired of the lies and all of the deceit
You say you see your Son when you look at me,
Tell me bout the son that you see in me

I’m loved, I’m loved
I’m loveable, I’m loveable

I heard You call my name, “Come away with me,
I can hear Your voice, so I’m following
You said, “nothing that you aren’t ever phases me,
I can’t look away I see everything”

Father, but what about my sin and my unbelief
Surely you’re fed up you’ve had enough of me,
But then you turn my eyes to outside of me, to Your Son on that tree
Then I realise how great you love is, how great your love is

I’m loved, I’m loved
I’m loveable, I’m loveable

This is what love’s like, 
This is what love’s like,
For all of my days

You say you see your Son when you look at me,
Tell me bout the son that you see in me

Brennan Manning:
In your own simple, unsophisticated words, in the presence of Jesus dwelling within you, recall his word in John 15:4, ‘make your home in me, as I make mine in you’. Now don’t think anything, don’t intend anything, to promise to perform anything, just grow still, and let yourself be loved, as you are, and not as you should be.

The Son You See in Me // Joshua Lehman

A classic tune I found myself humming today (thank you Holy Spirit!) and another worship song I found through TRIBL, a dope community of worshippers and a really great app! 

Blessings!
