If you are going around the same mountain all the time and the same negative things are happening then you need to stop - time for a change - a faith in God where you can pour out and trust in Him - accepting Christ as your Lord and Saviour - first step to transforming your life for the better.

Today is the day!

You know even when there is a lot going on in our personal lives God is still with us even when we are going through hard times - it's what perfects us and makes us stronger - getting through to the other side of the storm - even when we didn't think we were going to make it. Singing out praise and worship is our weapon to keep us uplifted.

Lord where would I be?
By Chrissy Sanderson 4.11.19.

Lord I don’t know
If I’m coming
Or going
You’re the almighty
You’re the all knowing

You know when I sleep
You know when I’m awake
Please guide me Lord
Save me from my mistakes.

Chorus
Oh where would I be
Without your loving embrace
Where would I be
Without your mercy and grace.

My head’s spinning
I’m so confused
And so lost
Teach me your word Lord
As I pick up my cross

You died for me Lord
You’re death tore the veil
Strength will rise up
Gates of hell won’t prevail

Chorus
Oh where would I be
Without your loving embrace
Where would I be
Without your mercy and grace.

Your light shines through
Penetrating
The darkness
Revealing your glory
I’ll praise you with gladness

Chorus
Oh where would I be
Without your loving embrace
Where would I be
Without your mercy and grace.

Amen

Lord Where Would I Be

Woke up early hours one morning this week to hear these lovely lyrics....then today I was able to add a tune.  I hope the song blesses and encourages who ever may need to hear it.  God bless

I hear the Lord calling
By Chrissy Sanderson 5.11.19

I hear the Lord calling to my heart
Offering me a fresh start
I hear the Lord calling to my soul
Telling me I have a purpose and goal

For too long I was in the wilderness
I’ve done things that made my life a mess
I never knew such love and hope
That would melt my heart and help me to cope

I hear the Lord calling to my heart
Offering me a whole new start
I hear the Lord calling to my soul
Telling me I have a purpose and goal

I was shut down emotionally
Could not function in my family
I was angry and so confused
Had no trust as my heart was bruised

I hear the Lord calling to my heart
Offering me a whole new start
I hear the Lord calling to my soul
Telling me I have a purpose and goal

I want to turn around and go another way
The Lord has called me this very day
No turning back my heart has been transformed
No longer of this world my spirit’s been reborn

I hear the Lord calling to my heart
Offering me a whole new start
I hear the Lord calling to my soul
Telling me I have a purpose and goal

I hear the Lord calling to my heart
Offering me a whole new start
I hear the Lord calling to my soul
Telling me I have a purpose and goal
Telling me I have a purpose and goal
Telling me I have a purpose and goal

Amen

I Hear The Lord Calling

The words hopefully draws you into where you might be and recognising the power and might of God to help you.

Crying Out To You Lord 29.3.20 18.33

Struggling to make sense of all that is going on in the world.  A sense of hopelessness sometimes because there is so much sadness and sickness due to the virus.  BUT - though I go through many feelings of anxiety, fear, worry, stress, concern...the list is long - I still bring myself back to the anchor of my faith - over to you God - these problems are too great - BUT you are greater - Tell me I'll be ok Amen.

“Tell me I’ll be ok written” by Chrissy Sanderson Sept 2020

Lately I’ve been thinking
Lately felt I was sinking
Don’t know what I’m doing
Don’t know where I’m going

Tell me I’m gonna be ok
Tell me I’m gonna find my way
Tell me I’m gonna be ok
Tell me I’m gonna find my way
Find my way. 

Guide me to a safe place
Show me your boundless grace
Fill me with endless love
Let me soar high up above

For you Lord no problem’s too great 
Forgive me Lord of my past mistakes
For you Lord no problem’s too great 
Forgive me Lord of my past mistakes
Of my past mistakes 

Pour out your spirit, Pour out your spirit, On me
Pour out your spirit, Pour out your spirit, On me

No pit too deep you can’t reach down
You’ve called my heart now I’m  found
Remind me Lord nothing coming against me
My sins are forgiven I am set free

Free to love
Free to live
Free to love
Free to live
To live for you

Lift me up to higher ground
A safer place that can be found

Pour out your spirit
Pour out your spirit
On me

Tell me I'll be ok

I have joined Resound Music 12 song challenge - anyone can join by the way.  It started in January.  Each month we are given a "Theme" to write about.  October's theme was "Mental Health"  - I don't know anyone who is not going through "stuff" at the moment, life is hard and can seem even darker when things get on top of us.  Thankfully I find when I pour out in my songs, somehow I feel God meets me half way just to catch hold of me and build me back up again.  I think everybody needs a little encouragement and I hope my song does that.  Stay safe x  Chrissy :)   Words to song below :)

Darkened windows By Chrissy Sanderson October 2020

Darkened windows
Closed curtains
That’s how my heart feels sometimes
Don’t have to explain
Because you understand my pain

You’re right there by my side
Catching the tears that I’ve cried
Catching the tears that I’ve cried
Often asking why, often asking why

Why my sadness
Where’s my gladness
Such a heavy weight sometimes
Help me Lord to break these chains
To lean on you yet again
Help me Lord, and show me how
Soak in your presence now

Take away the fear
Show me that you’re near
Take away the fear
Show me that you’re near

Spirit of God come now
Spirit of God come now

Darkened windows
Closed curtains
That’s how my heart feels sometimes

Don’t have to explain
Because you understand my pain
You’re right there by my side
Catching the tears that I’ve cried
Catching the tears that I’ve cried
Often asking why, often asking why
Often asking why

Spirit of God come now
Spirit of God come now

Help me Lord, show me how
Soak in your presence now
Right now

Take away the fear
Show me that you’re near
Take away the fear
Show me that you’re near
Right now. 

Amen

Darkened Windows by Chrissy Sanderson

2023 - Stay safe everyone and let's hope we all get through this by being wise and helping each other. May 2023 be a year of blessing and outreach to the lost.....keep singing praise and worship to Jesus.   Would love for folk to step forward to help me out with the music/vocals.........collaboration / teamwork......I am running with a batton of lyrics......God started this so I am confident that He will finish it.

Thank you so much for listening. I pray the words will touch your heart, bless and encourage you.  My heart has been encouraged by the words that have poured into me to keep me afloat against all the storms that we have faced.  Hopefully the songs will bless you, to give you an anchor that you may need to keep you steadfast and unmovable regardless of the giants or storms that you may be facing today! Amen. I have been inspired to write the songs along with singing the melody into my digital recorder however Ian Weekes from our song writing group has blessed me so much by singing some of the songs and playing the guitar, which have been downloaded to Soundcloud.  Blessed talent! Jo Falke, Bernie Killen, Risingson, Tris, Omar Garcia, Jonathan Barendsma and Leon have all supported me too!  I am currently learning to play the guitar and praying for the confidence and voice so that one day I'll download a song for Soundcloud (I've done this now :). A big thank you to everyone here for all their love, support and encouragement, it makes a difference! Bless you all. :)Thank you so much for listening.
