Above and beyond yes He is! Above and beyond let us reach! Above and beyond let go and be on your way! Above and beyond!
Too much too know. Overwhelming, yes, but let show. Submit in all ways. Let Him poor out like rain. Be still and know that He's in this place. You are the head, not the tail. You are on top, not below. You are His child. Made right by the blood of the Lamb, OH REJOICE REJOICE REJOICE!
Overwhelming, yes, but let show!
Out of the acting bit. Submitted to what is natural. Crazy you look - to judging eyes. Crazy you are NOT! You are the head, not the tail. You are on top, not below. You are His child!

Word Of God Speak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would You Poor Down Like Rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankyou for that quote Mark! I understand why you wrote it. I also believe that I know enough of your heart by now to reckon you won't mind what I write below.
My Beloved found Kutlass on YouTube. Lyrics we listened to were good. However, I've been on a large Christian forum with piles and piles of teens, many in a great deal of trouble and difficulties in their lives. While there I saw first-hand the effects on youth of the problems with modern Christian music lyrics - where such a lot of them either say nothing at all, or are not good. Or often a mixture of good and not good, if you see what I mean.
Young people listen to this music day and night and (a) mostly are basically NOT learning anything useful about the Word of God, or (b) learning error. Or at least things that can easily lead to error. Example - what does this mean? "You are the head, not the tail. You are on top, not below." I can imagine what the writer may have been aiming to convey, but this is what I heard: "We are the head". NO WAY! - Jesus is, and HAS TO BE, the head! Also: "We are on top, not below". NO, Jesus is our head, and WE are way, way, way below HIM. We're not on top, AND WE SURELY DO NOT WANT TO BE ON TOP in any way at any time!! That's why I deliberately put myself right at the bottom all the time: that is where I am, cos that's now where I see myself - didn't always see this, or desire to be a 'nobody' (in man's sight).
Scriptures - Jesus speaking: Matthew 20:16 So the last will be first, and the first last. Mark 9:35 And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.” John the Baptist speaking of Jesus: John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease! INDEED and INDEED!!! It's not hard at all to see how people can be led astray by careless words that 'sound pretty cool' but are actually so wrong. *gets down off soapbox! - saunters off*
