SING OUT!

[Icefire]

Oh, to see the dawn
Of the darkest day:
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Tried by sinful men,
Torn and beaten, then
Nailed to a cross of wood.


This, the pow'r of the cross:
Christ became sin for us;
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
We stand forgiven at the cross.

Oh, to see the pain
Written on Your face,
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Ev'ry bitter thought,
Ev'ry evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.

Now the daylight flees;
Now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
Curtain torn in two,
Dead are raised to life;
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry.

Oh, to see my name
Written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to death;
Life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love.

This, the pow'r of the cross:
Son of God—slain for us.
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.

(Sorry RedwallFan7)

[Rainshadow]

  That was a short contest lol.  Well, I guess I win.  Good game, Redwallfan7!

There's the snow
Look out below
And bundle up
'Cause here it comes

Run outside
So starry eyed
A snowball fight breaks out
And winter has finally begun

I twirl through the driveway with angelic grace
'Til I slip on the sidewalk and fall on my face
This peppermint winter is so sugar-sweet
I don't need to taste to believe

What's December without Christmas Eve?

Hop in the sleigh
And we'll glide away
Into the night
And we'll sip on moonlight

Runny nose
My frosty toes
Are gettin' cold
But I feel alive so I smile wide

The snowflakes start falling and I start to float
'Til my mean, older brother stuffs snow down my coat
This peppermint winter is so sugar-sweet
I don't need to taste to believe

What's December without Christmas Eve?

All this holiday cheer
Heaven knows where it goes, but it returns every year
And though this winter does nothing but storm
The joy in my heart is ablaze and it's keeping me warm

It's keeping me warm
It's keeping me warm

I rip off the wrapping and tear through the box
'Til I end up with 45 new pairs of socks
This peppermint winter is so sugar-sweet
I don't need to taste to believe

What's December without Christmas Eve?

  Good Time - Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen (Call Me Maybe)

Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time

Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
Cuz it's always a good time.

Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
Cuz it's always a good time

Good morning and good night
I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.

Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room hit the ATM
Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight
Cuz it's always a good time

Good morning and good night
I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright we don't even have to try
It's always a good time.

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.

Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then
Doesn't matter where
It's always a good time there

Doesn't matter when,
It's always a good time then

It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh

Coming Home-The iCarly cast. I love this one better than the origial

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away, all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming

I'm back where I belong (yeah)
I never felt so strong (I'm back baby)
I feel like there's nothing I can't try
And if you feel me put your hands highhh (put your hands high)
If you ever lost a light before, this one's for you
And you, the dreams are for you

I hear "The Tears of a Clown"
I hate that song
I always feel like they're talking to me, when it comes on
Another day, another dawn
Another Keisha, nice to meet ya
Get the math, I'm gone
What am I supposed to do when the club lights come on?
It's easy to be Puff but it's harder to be Sean
What if my twins ask why I ain't marry their mom (why? damn!)
How do I respond?
What if my son stares with a face like my own
And says he wants to be like me when he's grown?
really bad stuff! But I ain't finished growing
Another night, the inevitable prolongs
Another day, another dawn
Just tell Keisha and Teresa I'll be better in the morn'
Another lie that I carry on
I need to get back to the place where I belong

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away, all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming

"A house is Not a Home," I hate this song
Is a house really a home when your loved ones is gone?
And ni**as got the nerve to blame you for it
And you know you would have took the bullet if you saw it
But you felt it and still feel it
And money can't make up for it or conceal it
But you deal with it and you keep ballin'
Pour out some liquor, play ball and we keep ballin'
Baby, we've been living a sin cause we've been really in love
But when we've been living as friends
So you've been a guest in your own home
It's time to make your house your home
Pick up your phone, come on

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away, all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming

"Ain't No Stopping Us Now," I love that song
Whenever it comes on, it makes me feel strong
I thought I told y'all that we won't stop
Til we back cruising through Harlem, Viso blocks
It's what made me, saved me, drove me crazy
Drove me away then embraced me
Forgave me for all of my shortcomings
Welcome to my homecoming
Yeah, it's been a long time coming
Lot of fights, lot of scars, lot of bottles
Lot of cars, lot of ups, lot of downs
Made it back, lost my dog (I miss you BIG)
And here I stand, a better man (a better man) (don't stop)
Thank you lord (thank you lord)

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away, all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming

  Enchanted - Owl City

There I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered "have we met?"
Across the room your silhouette starts to make it's way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you
Oh Taylor I was so enchanted to meet you too

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you too

The lingering question kept me up
2AM, who do you love?
I wondered till I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say,
Hey it was enchanting to meet you
Oh Taylor I was so enchanted to meet you too

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you too

This is me praying that this was the very first page
Not where the story line ends
My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you too
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
Taylor I'll spend my whole life wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you too

I was never in love with someone else
I never had somebody waiting on me
'Cause you were all of my dreams come true
And I just wish you knew
Taylor I was so in love with you.

[Trisscar]

Traveling the World

Again and again, thrice again,
I'll go 'round the world,
Thrice for you.
Again and again,
We'll sing it again,
I'll travel the world thrice for you.
I'll learn all the tales of old,
Such as warriors long gone,
Again and again, thrice and again,
I'll go 'round the world
Thrice for you.
Again and again, thrice again,
I'll see the world thrice,
Just for you.

  Here's Hope - Owl City

(Here's hope)
(Here's hope)
(Here's hope)

Everywhere everybody needs a neighbour
Showing up when times get hard
But there's friends of sons and daughters
Saying grace without supper in your backyard
Who doesn't wanna be a hero?
At least a little bit of helpin' out
There's some things you're never gonna help or change
But hunger's somethin' we can turn around

Here's hope (here's hope)
Showin' up at your front door
Here's hope (here's hope)
Yeah what everybody's looking for
Here's your one chance to make a difference
Here's your one choice to give a helping hand
There's room at the table for more
Yeah here's hope
Yeah here's hope

There's a small-town girl in third grade
Makin' sure her sisters get enough
She sees her mama working two jobs worrying and crying,
Doing everything but giving up
If a miracle's a gift when you need it
Then it's time for stepping in
Here's to families and kids, where ever you live
Never ever wondering again

Here's hope (here's hope)
Showin' up at your front door
Here's hope (here's hope)
Yeah what everybody's looking for
Here's your one chance to make a difference
Here's your one choice to give a helping hand
There's room at the table for more
Yeah here's hope

Here's to going to bed not hungry
Here's to changing the story
Here's to bigger hearts and brighter days
Let me hear you sing it for me
Let me hear you sing it for me

Here's hope (here's hope)
Showin' up at your front door
Here's hope (here's hope)
Yeah what everybody's looking for
Here's your one chance to make a difference
Here's your one choice to give a helping hand
There's room at the table for more
Yeah here's hope (here's hope)
Yeah here's hope (here's hope)

Yeah here's hope (here's hope (yeah here's hope))
Yeah here's hope (here's hope (yeah here's hope))
Yeah here's hope

  REVIVE!

  Hospital Flowers - Owl City

I survived a dreadful accident
in the car crash of the century
My shattered hopes collapsed on cold cement
But in the back of the ambulance,
I'd never felt so content

A high-speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me
And now my vision can render this scene
A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergency.

I tossed and turned in sterile apathy
Until the violets arrived for me
The bouquet burst and blossoms filled the room
And the place got smaller
As they grew taller
and taught me to bloom

A high-speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me
And now my vision can render this scene
A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergency.

The curtains decayed
The daylight poured in
I was never afraid of the darkness again
My burns were third degree
But I'd been set free
Because grace had finally found its way to me

A high-speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me
And now my vision can render this scene
A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
Happiness returned to me
Happiness returned to me
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergency.

kids by MGMT



You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
You pick the insects off plants
No time to think of consequences

[Chorus:]
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

[Chorus x6]

[Rainshadow]

  Umbrella Beach - Owl City

Stands and gears, oh how the daisies bloom
When chandeliers light up the engine room
Can you feel the drops as it starts to rain
There's an underwater Ferris wheel
where I found the missing link to this island chain

Home will always be here, unseen, outta sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly

Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach

Home will always be here, unseen, outta sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly

I'll spread my wings and fly

Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach

couldn't have said it better myself that is currently one of my favorite songs!

[Rainshadow]

  Yeah!  Owl City rocks!  Carly Rae Jepsen isn't too bad herself.  She isn't my favorite, but she can sing pretty well!

  Home of the Blues - Johnny Cash

Just around the corner there's heartache
Down the street that losers use
If you can wade in through the teardrops
You'll find me at the Home of the Blues

I walk and cry while my heartbeat
Keeps time with the drag of my shoes
The sun never shines through this window of mine
It's dark at the Home of the Blues

Oh, but the place is filled with the sweetest mem'ries
Mem'ries so sweet that I cry
Dreams that I've had left me feeling so bad
I just want to give up and lay down and die

So if you've just lost your sweetheart
And it seems there's no good way to choose
Come along with me, misery loves company
You're welcome at the Home of the Blues

Just around the corner there's heartache
Down the street that losers use
If you can wade in through the teardrops
You'll find me at the Home of the Blues
Yeah, you're gonna find me at the Home of the Blues

[Redwallfan7]

I don't think I've posted this one before. It's a great message, and I think Jennette Mccurdy has a great voice.

Stronger by Jennette Mccurdy

You feel out of breath, used up, and broken down.
Just like shattered glass in pieces on the ground.
Some days you wanna scream but you can't make make a sound.
But your not alone.
Here comes another day, here comes another fight.
You'd rather give it up then give it one more try.
Cause no one understands the way you feel inside.
But your not alone.

Right now it feels like the end of the world.
All your battles are lost.
You've been cheated (mistreated.)
Just when you think that you can't hold on any longer.
Hold on a little bit longer.
Trust me, you'll see.
You'll be so much STRONGER.

It's only temporarily but it feel like your stuck.
Like no wishing well but it will change your luck.
They say when one door closes another opens up.
You walk right through yeah you know what to do.

Right now it feels like the end of the world.
All your battles are lost.
You've been cheated (mistreated.)
Just when you think that you can't hold on any longer.
Hold on a little bit longer.
Trust me, you'll see.
You'll be so much STRONGER.

You'll might have to bend but your not gonna break.
Wipe the tears from your eyes and the fear off your face.
You know deep down inside, you've got what takes.

Right now it feels like the end of the world.
All your battles are lost.
You've been cheated (mistreated.)
Just when you think that you can't hold on any longer.
Hold on a little bit longer.
Trust me, you'll see.
You'll be so much STRONGER.

  The First Noel - TobyMac (feat. Owl City)

Born is the King, born is the King

The first Noel, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Born is the King, born is the King

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the Earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

Born is the King, born is the King

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

The love You shared, even scared
Oh, the shepherds they were so afraid
You flipped it all on that very first Christmas day
So I'ma yell Noel on the streets like a newsie
And sing Emmanuel 'til this Earth gotta lose me

Born is the King, born is the King

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel
