Stacie Orrico - Strong enough with lyrics

9/30/2013



As I rest against this cold, hard wall
Will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won
Only to find the road has just begun

Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out, and start again
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance on me
Please can I have one chance to start again?

Will my weakness far from now (?) make me suffer for a life time
Is there anyway to be remade whole again?
If I feel renewed and find forgiveness and find the strength I've 
never had
Will my scares forever ruin all God's plan?

Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out, and start again
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance on me
Please can I have one chance to start again?

He took my life into his hands and it turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance
It's there I finally found

That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me
Oh Thank You for my chance to start again

Titanium / Pavane (Piano/Cello Cover) - David Guetta / Faure - ThePianoGuys

Follow THE PIANO GUYS ^_^

Story behind the song: 

Have you ever awakened with a melody in your head and you don't know how it got there? That was the beginning of our PianoGuys' version of David Guetta's "Titanium (feat. Sia)." Paul especially loved this tune -- he lobbied us to arrange the song, but after we could not find a way to begin the arrangement. Every time we tried it just didn't flow. We also were concerned that the hook of the tune was nothing but the beat :-) and lacked a lead melody, which would make it more difficult to convey with piano and cello. Steve woke one morning and couldn't get a melody out of his head. It was Gabriel Faure's "Pavane" -- a hauntingly beautiful melody that weaves in and out of richly sequenced harmonies and fluid counter-melodies. It had been a favorite of his as a child, but he hadn't heard it for years. In the studio that same morning we tried the melody over the top of the chorus of David' Guetta's Titanium and it was like witnessing a reunion of two childhood friends. The main melody of the Pavane and its supporting chords, transposed and changed stylistically to mimic Guetta, also fit nicely as the intro we had been searching for. And we thought since Guetta and Faure are both French it must have been meant to be! :-)

If you're not familiar with "Pavane" Listen to a version of Bobby McFerrin singing it with La Scala Philharmonic Orchestra:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN-cY-... (As a boy Steve heard this very version live in concert and it evidently had an indelible impression on him!)

Classical music is such a big part of who we, ThePianoGuys, are. You can hear it in everything we write. We love pairing it with the music of today.

This was the most difficult music video to set the "stage" for thus far. We considered so many locations -- a copper mine, a steel mill, an industry factory, a mountaintop ski resort, a wildflower meadow, a desert bluff, and many others. As you know we love putting pianos and cellos in crazy places (a common comment is 'how the heck did they get the piano up there??') -- places that show off breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. When Mark Wade with Garfield County's Department of Tourism called and offered full creative access to its national parks we abandoned all of our tabled ideas and focused on showcasing Bryce Canyon National Park -- an incredible place of raw beauty and geological history written in rock. It is a place like no other. We feel so blessed to have been able to film there.

This video features a NEW STEEL cello made by Dawson Swan: Thor II -- with significant improvements over Thor I. It's lighter, easier to play and it looks awesome! Dawson is an incredible artist! Check his website out here: http://dawesome.net. Thank you again, Dawson!

STORY BEHIND THE SONG
The idea: A couple months ago the 5 of us were gathered round a piano prepping for a video shoot scheduled for that day. We were brainstorming ideas when one of us (can't remember who!) got off task and starting flicking a piano string. Since all of us are poster children for ADHD, it wasn't long before ALL of us had joined in -- banging out a beat, plucking a string, or hitting keys. The brainstorming meeting had been sabotaged beyond repair, but another music video idea was born!

The song: We went through several song possibilities before landing on "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction. We like this song because its catchy and the music, lyrics, and video passed our "sesame street" test (meaning family friendly). We thought about the ramifications of taking on a teenybopper boy band tune as five middle-aged married guys who are desperately holding on to their hairlines. One of us even has a son older than the guys in One Direction (we won't say who) :-) BUT you know us -- we love a good challenge! This one was so fun to write that the "challenge" part of it never was felt. We just acted like kids playing a piano and it totally worked! :-) After we figured out the main "techniques" of playing the piano unconventionally we loved experimenting with swapping out chords and throwing the structure of the song around until it clicked.

The location: Where to film? Fitting in video shoots between touring, writing, recording, editing, and spending time with family has always been a challenge. Let's be honest, even getting all 5 of us in the same place at the same time has been a challenge! We had a big sold-out show at the Sandy, Utah Amphitheater. We all determined to be at the show and film the video right on stage sometime between sound check and the performance. Sounds like a good idea right? Well...because of a lot of factors, including weather (we had a huge storm sweep in and knock everything down on stage during sound check) the only time we had to film was between the hours of 2AM - 7AM the morning of the concert. In the video at 2:30 you can see the morning light start breaking -- we literally played into the sunrise! :-) 

Many thanks to the awesome guys at Annex Recording and Giles Reaves (engineer) for letting us record at their studio. Check them out at http://www.annexrecording.com 

Thanks to Sandy Amphitheater http://www.sandyarts.com/sandy-amphit... for letting us film this video on their stage. They were so great to work with and we've performed so many times there the staff are all old friends (especially you, Mearle!)

And thanks to Cole Adams, the lighting genius - who hung out all night allowing us to pull an all-nighter to film this.

Stacie Orrico - So Simple

9/25/2013



(It could all be so simple, simple)

Don't need high heels
For a good feel
You can keep the fancy clothes
I'll take walkin in the rain
Over things material
I'll trade Melrose and the big names
Give me faces that I know
Just play a melody that everybody knows

Take it down, down, down
And strip it to the core
I don't really need much less is more, more, more

[CHORUS:]
True to life, true to me
The way it's got to be
So simple, so simple, so simple
Live to love, love to be
Absolutely free
(so simple, so simple, simple)

Give me wisdom, plain and truthful
Teach me somethin I don't know
Plain as education, inspiration I suppose (yeah yeah)
Give me family, on a Sunday
And I'll be just fine
There's nothing in the world
That's worth more of my time

Take it down, down, down
And strip it to the core
I don't really need much less is more, more, more

[CHORUS x2]

Livin my dream, is my song to the world
(let 'em hear it)
Sharin' my soul and spirit
I'm hopin that you hear it
Got one (one) life (life) to live (live)
It's only what you make it (make it)
Every new day's a chance worth takin

Sanctus Real - Whatever You're Doing (Something Heavenly)



“Whatever You’re Doing” (Something Heavenly) lyrics
It’s time for healing time to move on
It’s time to fix what’s been broken too long
Time make right what has been wrong
It’s time to find my way to where I belong
There’s a wave that’s crashing over me
All I can do is surrender
Chorus:
Whatever you’re doing inside of me
It feels like chaos somehow there’s peace
It’s hard to surrender to what I can’t see
but I’m giving in to something heavenly
Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Revaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow your will
or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is you want from me
I give everything I surrender…
to…
(Repeat Chorus)
Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I’ve wanted to say for so many years
Time to to release all my held back tears
Whatever you’re doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You’re up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly
Whatever you’re doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly
Something heavenly
It’s time to face up
Clean this old house
Time breathe in and let everything out

Stacie Orrico - Everything



I said a prayer
That someday I would find a boy
And together we'll find joy
Maybe someday
And he would care
About the color of the sky
About the things that make me cry
Maybe someday

And if it happens this is what I'd say:
Baby yeah
And I will give you my life
Together we'll make it right
And I will say to you
What is for sure
Let me tell you
That I'll give you my world
And baby I'll be your girl
And I will say to you
Everything I have is yours

I wonder if
If maybe God has shown him
He is the one who's gonna marry me
Maybe someday
So, I'm gonna wait
Cause I'm worth waiting for
And what I'm worth is so much more
For that someday

And if it happens this is what I'd say

Stacie Orrico - Restore My Soul (lyrics)



So stressed-no hope
Where do I go now
Seems like all of life's tests
Take me further from you
It amazes me- how you rescue me
From a world that moves so fast
So completely -You receive me
Into your arms at last

With a single prayer
You restore my soul
When life's not fair
I know where to go
To renew my stength
To keep goin on
No I'll never be alone
With a single prayer
You restore my soul

Lord you give me strength
To know when I'm weak
And to see your guiding hand
When I get down on my knees
Piece by piece
You make me whole again

Stacie Orrico - Take Me Away W/Lyrics



TAKE ME AWAY

From your walk to your style
From your lips to your smile
Got me feeling like a child
And baby I just want it all for me
Baby tell me that it's all for me
From your kiss to your touch
Got me needing it so much
Boy I got a crush
And with you is where I wanna be
So please tell me that its all for me

[Chorus:]
I love it I don't want it to stop
Every minute I'm without you always seems like a lot
Feels like I'm in a dream when I'm not every time I get close to you
Please don't wake me baby cause
I really hate seeing you go
But you gotta handle business, yeah baby I know
Feels like half of me left when you walked out the door
Please take me away with you

From the look in your eye
You want me as bad as i want you in my life
Baby loving you feels like a dream
And your loving has become a need
Every time that you go
I get a pain in my heart, and that lets me know
I just gotta have you all for me
Baby tell me that it's all for me

[Chorus x2]

A love like yours is hard to find
Can i be yours will you be mine
I think its time
Please take me away with you
Cause you bring out the best in me
The greatest love I've ever seen
Is what I need please take me away with you

[Chorus]

C 
When it comes to relationships
G              D                                 Em 
Don't know what I was missing or why I ain't listen
C 
When I told myself that was it
G         D             Em
Now here I go, hurt again 
C
Cause of my curiousity 
G              D
Now that it's over 
Em                      C                        
What else could it be besides a cheat


          G                 D
I made a promise never to settle
                Em--C 
Why didn't I keep it?
                    Am 
Cause I hated the heartbreak
                                    C-D 
Crying and cheating, the fooling around 



CHORUS
                G
I'm not missing you 
                           D
I'm not going through the motions 
             Em              
Waiting and hoping you call me
C 
I'm not missing you
G                     D 
You might have had me open 
               Em     
But I must be going because
C 
I got life to do
G                 D
I know I'm usually hanging on
           Em              C 
I used to hate to see you gone
                   Am   
But this time it's different
I don't even feel the distance
C 
I'm not missing
D                G 
I'm not missing you 


(same Chords: G-D-Em-C)
It's a shame in a way cause 
I feel that I may not ever find the right one for me 
Did I leave him, is he right in front of my face oh 
Will my true love ever be? 
Why would I go on a search again 
When I know what the end will be 
What good is love when it keeps on hurting me? 

(same chords: G-D-Em-C_Am-C-D)
I made a promise never to settle 
Why didn't I keep it? 
Cause I hated the heartbreak 
Crying and cheating, the fooling around 

Chorus x 2 

(Em-C-G-D)
No I can't be with you 
Cause I'm scared felt like I was falling when you left me 
I can't keep going through life 
Unaware of what I missed 
And the person I could be 
Love's good when it's right 
And when it's left in your memory 
All the times I let you down 
I guess love will be nice for someone else's life 

(ehehehehe!.)

Cause the more that I'm... 
   G                         D               Em
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life

Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more

 Em           C            D          G
I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
 Em            C          D
Here in this moment I'm half way out the door 
          Em               C             D
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing 

[repeat chorus] 

Than waiting on something other than this 
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed.....

Re-blog: "BEST BEFORE DATES" by Kuh Belarmino

9/19/2013

http://rockstarmadeforgod.wordpress.com/2013/09/19/best-before-dates-2/

Ever heard of expiration dating?
Welcome to the world where everything is instant and everyone has access to anything. That goes for relationships nowadays as well.
Expiration Dating or better known as ‘flings’ are the kind of relationship that’s never gonna last. So why do young people engage in such thing?
I’ll tell you why. Because it’s fun, it means that you are up for an adventure, and the fact that both of you know that it’s going to end soon anyways.
Many of us can probably relate to this, or somehow experience having this type of thing. I don’t judge you, because most of us are guilty of committing this crime.
But the thing is, Expiration Dating may sound cool to you today but you must think of the consequences now if you are thinking of entering in this drama. Or if you are caught in this situation, I beg you to get out – NOW!
Do not let your insecurities eat you. Do not find love in the wrong places or be involve with the wrong guy or girl. Stop hurting yourself and the other person.
Relationships with a ‘Best Before Dates’ are not safe at all. Give value to the real quality of your life. In the future, you will look back on what really happened to you when you are young and if you have so much baggage from your past relationships, still it will hurt you and your future partner.
Love is not a feeling. It is a Commitment between two people that even when the ‘cloud 9′ feeling fades you still choose to stay with each other.
Having a secured relationship with the Lord will help you find that one true love that you’ve been praying for all your life. Just be patient and make your life as a single person count today.
So no more expiration dating for us. We deserve to live a life of freedom; free to live and free to love the right person.
Do you know what the good news is? The love of God has already set you free. :)

WOMEN

9 Similarly, women are to wear suitable clothes and to be dressed quietly and modestly, without braided hair or gold and jewellery or expensive clothes;
10 their adornment is to do the good works that are proper for women who claim to be religious.
11 During instruction, a woman should be quiet and respectful.
12 I give no permission for a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. A womanought to be quiet,
13 because Adam was formed first and Eve afterwards,
14 and it was not Adam who was led astray but the woman who was led astray and fell into sin.
15 Nevertheless, she will be saved by child-bearing, provided she lives a sensible life and is constant in faith and love and holiness.

SEARCH MY HEART LYRICS

Hillsong united
Search my heart lyrics

Search my heart
And search my soul
There's nothing else
That I want more

(Break)

Shine Your light
And show Your face
In my life
Lord have Your way

(Break)

With all my heart and all my soul
With all I am, Lord, I will follow You

(Break)

Hear my cry
And hear my prayer
Draw me close
I know your near

(Break)

So with all my heart and all my soul
With all I am, Lord, I will follow You

(Break)

You took the cross, You took my shame
Restored my life, now I live to worship You

(Break)

Without You I am nothing
Without You I am nothing
Without You I am nothing

(Break)

So with all my heart and all my soul
With all I am, Lord, I will follow You
You took the cross, You took my shame
Restored my life, Lord I will follow You
Without You I am nothing
Without You I am nothing
Without You I am nothing

(Break)

Without You I am nothing
Without You I am nothing
Without You I am nothing

(Break)

Search my heart
And search my soul.
