Oh, Lord, Your beautiful
Your face is all I seek
For when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me
Oh, Lord, please light the fire
That once burned bright and clear
Replace the lamp of my first love
That burns with Holy fear
I want to take Your Word and shine it all around
But first help me just to live it, Lord
And when I'm doing well help me to never seek a crown
For my reward is giving glory to You
Keith Green 1980
His songs have been resonating with me lately. He had a passion for Jesus. He reminds me of John the Baptist.

Brent,
Thanks , great lyrics.
I've been listening to this album a lot this month and find encouragement here. especially in "You Shine"
"Why should I feel mad,
When You made the heavens?
Why should I be afraid,
When You put the stars in place?
Why should I lose heart,
When I know how great you are?
Why should I give up,
When Your plans are full of love?
In this world we will have trouble,
But You have overcome the world!
You Shine,
Brighter than the brightest star!
Your Love,
Purer than the purest heart!
You Shine,
Filling us with courage and strength
To follow You!"

Hey Brent,
Thanks for the link. I'm heading to it as I write this. So yeah.
I am getting tired, to be honest, of the whole JoeC debate because I just keep trying to reiterate the same point over, and over, and over.
But, we'll see what happens with this.
TJ, a very good message. Father puts everything in perspective, doesn't He? I don't think this is a Keith Green song though.
Steve, I've enjoyed hangin' out with you college boys lately (and girl). It reminds me of decades/lifetime ago when I sat in the dorm debating various points of theology. Father actually made me quit and now if it is a serious discussion I lose the spirit of debate that used to go along with those discussions. I gathered from the beginning that JC was playing a game. Reminds me of my kids when they play grown up.
He really is playing a game, one that he has complete control over, haha.
It's funny because the moment someone else brings a new rule in, he disregards (deletes) the new rule and goes back to his original rules, which don't make any sense at all.
