Jungle Lady is frightening people, threatening them them they will go a hot hot place (hell) and burn up if you do not take to Jesus. Just imagine someone who will burn you up if you believe in such type. This is a blatant trap! Frightening people that when rigor mortis set in upon them they will be sent to fiery place after they have been set in their grave.


Bwoy: I doubt if she was conscious of the lyrics deeper meaning. Not to take anything away from her...actually my words are meant as a compliment. But here is the catch: is she any different to any Muslim who preaches about Hell fire for non-Muslims? Or any Jew who talks about choseness? This religious absolutism makes God into a real jerk.


Forgive them O my Father for they know not what they say!

Mighty Spirit

There is a mighty spirit
Shining out across the sky
He’s calling out the weary
To green pastures, come and lie
There is a might spirit
Crossing barren land
He’s sowing love unceasing
Fresh fruit spring from the sand

Harvest time is coming
The reaper’s in His hand
Go tell everybody
That love is His command

There is a mighty spirit
Shining out across the sky
He’s calling out the weary
To green pastures, come and lie
There is a might spirit
Crossing barren land
He’s sowing love unceasing
Fresh fruit spring from the sand

Fresh fruit spring from the sand

THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
They shall mount up with wings like an eagle,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint.

I will wait,
I will wait,
I will wait for He gives me strength.

Wait on His salvation,
He's the source of my deliverance.
He's my everything,
He's my everything,
He's my everything, Jesus.

He's my everything, He's my everything,
He's my everything, He's my everything.

He's my everything,
He's my everything,
He's my everything, Jesus.

LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH - PRAISE THE LORD
Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord
And let the living proclaim
Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord
(Repeat)

Let every instrument sound His praise
As all His people adore
Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord

I will open up my mouth
And He will fill it with praise
I will magnify His name
The name that stands above all names is Jesus

Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord
And let the living proclaim
Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord


High sounding cymbals
And trumpets of brass
The sound of one accord
Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord

My Lord has put a new song in my heart
It's a song of praise to my God
And everyone who hears it will rejoice

Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord
And let the living proclaim
Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord


LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH - PRAISE THE LORD

Teach me to Love
All my life I've had to struggle to be free
Though I see no end in sight
I stand in line with men who made a vow
To never stop the fight
And to trust that you can comprehend
A loss you've never known
Will take a love that I have searched for
But love I cannot find alone

Lord, teach me to love
Show me how to care for others
Cause my soul to burn within
For the fellowship of my brother
Only you can break the chains
That have held me for so long
Lord, You're my hope, my only hope
Teach me to love


There's no power but the power of the cross
That can melt my hardened heart
And show me all the pride and arrogance
That tear our souls apart
For injustice that you suffer
And for our nation's shameful sin
I humbly ask for your forgiveness
We need to learn to love again

Lord, teach me to love
Show me how to care for others
Cause my soul to burn within
For the fellowship of my brother
Only you can break the chains
That have held me for so long
Lord, You're my hope, my only hope
Teach me to love


So daily I seek to know the Christ
Who suffered for all men
For in Him I find the courage
To ask again and again

Lord, teach me to love
Show me how to care for others
Cause my soul to burn within
For the fellowship of my brother
Only you can break the chains
That have held me for so long
Lord, You're my hope, my only hope
Teach me to love

THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S
There is no pain Jesus can't feel
No hurt He can not heal
All things work according to His perfect will
No matter what you're going through
Remember God is using You
For the battle is not yours
It's the Lord's

There's no sadness Jesus can't feel
And there is no sorrow that He can not heal
For all things work according to the Master's holy will
No matter what you're going through
Remember that God is only using You
For the battle is not yours
It's the Lord's

It's the Lord's
Yes It's the Lord's
Hold your head up high
Don't you fright
It's the Lord's
It's the Lord's
Yes It's the Lord's


No matter what
You're going through
Remember that God
Only wants to use you
For the battle is not yours
It's the Lord's

No matter what
You happen to go through right now
Remember that in the midst of it all
God only wants to use you
No matter what you're going through
For the battle is not yours
It's the Lord's

No matter what it is
That you're going through
Hold your head up, stick your chest out
And remember He's using you
No matter what you're going through
God is only using you

For this battle is not yours alone
This battle is not yours, no
You can not handle it all by yourself
No, no, no, no, no, no
It's not yours
This battle is not yours
It's the Lord's, not yours

This battle is not yours
The Lord is the only one who can fight it
He wants to use you as His vessel
So be open to Him
It's not yours
No It's not yours
It's the Lord's, not yours

The battle is not your's
It's the Lord's

Hallelujah
yeah!

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Refrain
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!


Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Refrain

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Refrain

Higher Place Of Praise
Now there's a place that's blessed
Now there's a place that's blessed

Where we find happiness
Where we find happiness
A place of Sabbath rest
A higher price of praise (praise, praise)

We lift our hands and
We've learned to dance and
Seems we've got the notion
That we're going through the motions
Now tell me really Is that victory, tell me

But there's a place I've found and
It's a much higher mountain
It wakes me early morning
And I know it's Zion calling me into worship
To give me life daily daily

Now when lie's not the norm
In times of calm or storm
My spirit, my soul and my flesh
Needs this place of praise (praise,praise)

Now here's the story
No flesh can glory
In His awesome presence
It's His Holy name we reverence
This place is precious,powerful and pure (so pure)

A higher place I've found
Take me to higher ground
The brightness of Your face
Gives me a higher praise
Higher, higher
Higher, I wanna go higher
The brightness of Your face
Gives me a higher praise

Jesus,
What a Beautiful Name

----

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

There's just something about that name
Master, Savior, Jesus
Like the fragrance after the rain

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Let all heaven and earth proclaim

Kings and kingdoms will all pass away
But there's just something about that name

HE'S ALWAYS THERE
HE'S ALWAYS THERE
TO BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DAY
ALWAYS THERE IN EVERY WAY
WHEN IT’S COLD AND DREARY
AND YOUR FAITH IS GROWING WEARY
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE AFRAID

HE’S ALWAYS THERE
JUST ASK FOR WHAT YOU NEED
HE’LL BE THERE IF YOU BELIEVE
OPEN UP YOUR HEART
INVITE HIM TO COME IN
HE’LL TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND
AND CHANGE YOU FROM WITHIN
WAITING TO CARE

HE’S ALWAYS THERE
OOOO~~~, OOOO~~~

HE’S ALWAYS THERE TO COMFORT AND PROVIDE
HE’S ALWAYS THERE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE
TO HELP YOU FACE TOMORROW
THROUGH ALL THE JOY AND SORROW
HIS LOVE YOU CAN’T DENY

HE’S ALWAYS THERE
JUST ASK FOR WHAT YOU NEED
HE’LL BE THERE IF YOU BELIEVE
OPEN UP YOUR HEART
INVITE HIM TO COME IN AND
HE’LL TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND, HEY

OPEN UP YOUR HEART
INVITE HIM TO COME IN AND
HE’LL TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND
AND HE’LL CHANGE YOU FROM WITHIN
WAITING TO CARE

WERE IT NOT FOR GRACE
Time measured out my days
Life carried me along
In my soul I yearned to follow God
But knew Id never be so strong
I looked hard at this world
To learn how heaven could be gained
Just to end where I began
Where human effort is all in vain

Chorus
Were it not for grace
I can tell you where Id be
Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere
With my salvation up to me
I know how that would go
The battles I would face
Forever running but losing this race
Were it not for grace

So here is all my praise
Expressed with all my heart
Offered to the Friend who took my place
And ran a course I could not start
And when He saw in full
Just how much His would cost
He still went the final mile between me and heaven
So I would not be lost

Repeat Chorus

Forever running but losing this race
Were it not for grace

THIS TOO SHALL PASS
In the middle of the turbulence surrounding you
These trying times that are so hard to endure
In the middle of what seems to be your darkest hour
Hold fast your heart and be assured

Chorus
This too shall pass
Like every night that's come before it
He'll never give you more than you can bear
This too shall pass
So in this thought be comforted
It's in His Hands
This too shall pass

The Father knows the tears you cry before they fall
He feels your pain, His heart and yours are one
The Father knows that sorrow's heavy chains are strong
But with His strength, you'll overcome

Repeat Chorus

So set your eyes upon the mountain
And lift your hands up to the sky
And let His arms of love surround you
And take you to the other side

Repeat Chorus

Yolanda Adams

Indeed.

Unfortunately when Muslims started similar threads in the past, people accused us of trying to push our religion down their throats and big fights would break out. I remembered back in 2005 stating that Muslims never objected to any inspirational postings by people of other religions and found it distressing that we were always opposed when we do the same. We were accused of dominating the board. and only posting the "nice" side of Islam but leaving the "ugly" side alone. :)

Unfortunately, Muslims are carrying a lot of bad baggage today, and we are trying our best to separate ourselves from our misguided brothers, but that should not take away from the fact that within Muslim worship, there are a lot of very inspirational offerrings that could be beneficial to more than just Muslims. Things that soothe the heart in similar fashion.

I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES
Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
And who told the ocean you can only come this far?
And who showed the moon where to hide till evening?
who's words alone can catch a falling star?

Chorus
Well I know my redeemer lives
I know my redeemer lives
All of creation testifies
This life within me cries
I know my redeemer lives


The very same God
that spins things in orbit
runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
and the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
they conquered death to bring me victory

Now I know, my redeemer lives
I know my redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I know my redeemer


He lives to take away my shame
And He lives, forever I'll proclaim
The amount of pain that bought my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He's alive and there's an empty grave!

And I know my redeemer lives
I know my redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cries
I know my redeemer lives

I know my redeemer lives
I know my redeemer lives
I know my redeemer lives
He lives
He lives
I spoke with him this morning!
He lives
The tomb is empty
He lives
I'm gonna tell everybody!

TOMORROW
Jesus said
'Here I stand, won't you please let me in?'
And you said 'I will tomorrow'

Jesus said
'I am He who supplies all your needs'
And you said
'I know, but tomorrow,

Tomorrow,
I'll give my life tomorrow,
I've thought about today,
But it's so much easier to say'

Tomorrow,
Who promised you tomorrow,
Better choose the Lord today,
For tomorrow very well might be too late.

Jesus said
'Here I stand, won't you please take my hand?'
And you said
'I will tomorrow'

Jesus said
'I am He who supplies all your needs'
And you said
'I know, but tomorrow,

Tomorrow,
I'll give my life tomorrow,
I've thought about today,
But it's so much easier to say'

Tomorrow
Who promised you tomorrow,
Better choose the Lord today,
For tomorrow very well might be too late.

And if ever tomorrow never comes for you
Still you laugh and play and continue on to say

Tomorrow
Forget about tomorrow
Won't you give your life today
Oh please, don't just turn and walk away

Tomorrow
Tomorrow is a promise
Don't let this moment slip away
Your tomorrow could very well begin today!

All Things Bright And Beautiful
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.


Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all


The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky;

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all


The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one;

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all


The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows for our play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day;

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all


He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

HE’S MORE WONDERFUL
He promised us that He would be a counselor
A Mighty God and the Prince of Peace
He promised us that He would be a Father
And that He would love us with a love that would not cease.

Well, I tried Him and I found His promises are true
He’s everything He said that He would be.
The finest words I know could not begin to tell
Just what Jesus really means to me.

For He’s more wonderful than my mind can concieve
He’s more wonderful than my heart can believe
He goes beyond my highest hopes and fondest dreams.
He’s everything that my soul ever longed for
Everything He’s promised and so much more
More than amazing, more than marvelous
More than miraculous could ever be
He’s more than wonderful, that’s what Jesus is to me.


I stand amazed when I think that the King of glory
Should come to dwell within the heart of man
I marvel just to know He really loves me
When I think of who He is, and who I am.

For He’s more wonderful than my mind can concieve
He’s more wonderful than my heart can believe
He goes beyond my highest hopes and fondest dreams.
He’s everything that my soul ever longed for
Everything He’s promised and so much more
More than amazing, more than marvelous,
More than miraculous could ever be
He’s more than wonderful, that’s what Jesus is to me.

Repeat chorus
