Post an Inspirational Song

  You got me crying and I can't hear the songs that are posted because my computer's sound is broken but I can read those lyrics and just cry anyway. 

I like Luther Vandross's "Dance With My Father". I know it's sad but also encouraging because he's looking forward to the day that he dances with his father again.

Okay, I need to go bake my sweet potatoe pies. Y'all take care and have a Merry Christmas.

I love that song too!

I feel lots better today!

Hi Dedee, I was thinking about BAF today while sitting in the Dr. office waiting to get on the scale. If it wasn't for BAF I would have had so many lbs to deal with.  I didn't have not one extra lbs to lose..  Thanks to BAF and the family and yes it get ruff we fuss and cyberfight there 's one that oneday I'll have to meet in person.  THANKS BAF FOR BEING HERE WHEN NEEDED, THE PRAYER'S, KIND WORDS AND JOKES,THEY MADED ME CRY. LAUGH.  AND BROUGHT ME BACK TO WHERE I NEED TO BE IN LIFE.  THANKS,  LADIES  I  WANT START TRYING TO NAME NAMES BECAUSE  I'LL FORGET SOMEONE.

SILVER AND GOLD
Silver and Gold
I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver and gold
No fame or fortune
Nor riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver and gold

Don't give me a mansion
On top of a hill
Don't give me the world
With a shallow thrill
But give me a Saviour
My Life He can hold
I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver and gold

CHORUS

I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of down
I called on my best friend
She could not be found
But I called on Jesus
My life He can hold
I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver and gold

CHORUS

For unto us a child isborn, a son is given
I'd rather have Jesus
What profits a man to gain the who world and lose his soul
I'd rather have Jesus
For there's no other name given under
heaven whereby we must be saved
whereby we must be saved
I'd rather have Jesus
He's the only one that can save you
I'd rather have Jesus
Than Silver and Gold
Kirk Franklin and the Family

This IS one of quite a few that bring me through a lot.
iT'S  WAS MY BABY FAVORITE SONG. THE LAST ONE THAT WAS SONG TO HER.

IT BECAME A FUNERAL SONG AND MY ANTHEM. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEARS 

I know that song....I first heard it in high school at a concert with Alabama A&M choir!!!!!

There are several version but I think I like Kirk Franklin's and the Family's the best
Merry Christmas

HOW DO I GET ON NEXT YEAR'S CARD LISTING.

I have different songs to encourage me during different periods.

When I need overall "life" encouragement I listen to:



Whitney Houston - I Love The Lord, .

I love the the Lord, he heard my cry
And pitied every groan, long as I, I live
And troubles rise, I hasten to his throne

[Chorus:]
Oh, I love the Lord
I sure do, surely do love the Lord
He heard, he heard my cry
And pitied every groan, yes he did
Every groan
Long as I live, long as I, I live
And troubles rise, troubles rise
I hasten to to to to to
I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his throne
I'll hasten to his throne hold on hold on
Tears are streaming down my eyes
I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his throne

Yes I will, I'll run
I know I can go to his throne
I know I can go, I know I can go
I'll hasten, I'm gonna run
I know I can go, I know I can go
I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his throne

See I can run, Lord you know I will
When there is nowhere to go I know I can go to you
I know I can run to you oh
I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his, his throne
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll hasten, hasten to his throne
Surely gonna be here

When I think of my girls...this song comes to mind as encouraging to me.  It has nothing to do with the cirumstance they are singing about.  It encourages me because of the bond their friendship holds.  True sista girlfriends are psyhic....they know when something ain't right with their girls.  So...

Candy, Neda, Cookie, Dedee, Terri D , Tira, and Mo-Mo

Thank y'all for being my pyschic sista circle!!!



Destiny's Child - Girl

Take A Minute Girl Come Sit Down
And Tell Us What's Been Happening
In Your Face I Can see The Pain
Don't Try To Convince Us That You're Happy (Yeah)
We've Seen This All Before
But He's Taking Advantage Of Your Passion
Because We've Come Too Far
For You To Feel Alone
You Don't Let Him Walk Over Your Heart
I'm Telling You

[Chorus]
Girl, I Can Tell You've Been Crying
And Your Needing Somebody To Talk To
Girl, I Can Tell He's Been Lying
And Pretending That He's Faithful And He Loves You
Girl, You Don't Have To Be Hiding
Don't You Be Ashamed To Say He Hurt You
I'm Your Girl, You're My Girl, We're You're Girls
Don't You Know That We Love You?

[Verse 2 Kelly]
See What Y'all Don't Know About Him
Is that I Can't Let Him Go 'cause He Needs Me
It Ain't Really Him, It's Stress From His Job
And I Ain't Making It Easy
I Know You See Him Bugging Most Of The Time
But I Know Deep Inside He Don't Mean It
It Gets Hard Sometimes
But I Need My Man
I Don't Think Ya'll Understand
I'm Telling You

[Chorus]
Girl, I Can Tell You've Been Crying
And Your Needing Somebody To Talk To
Girl, I Can Tell He's Been Lying
And Pretending That He's Faithful And He Loves You
Girl, You Don't Have To Be Hiding
Don't You Be Ashamed To Say He Hurt You
I'm Your Girl, You're My Girl, We're You're Girls
Don't You Know That We Love You?

[Chorus]
Girl, I Can Tell You've Been Crying
And Your Needing Somebody To Talk To
Girl, I Can Tell He's Been Lying
And Pretending That He's Faithful And He Loves You
Girl, You Don't Have To Be Hiding
Don't You Be Ashamed To Say He Hurt You
I'm Your Girl, You're My Girl, We're You're Girls
Don't You Know That We Love You?


[Bridge Michelle]
Girl, Take A Good Look At Yourself
He Got You Going Through Hell
We Ain't Never Seen You Down Like This
What You Mean You Don't Need Us To Help?
We Known Each Other Too Well
Whoaaaa....yeah..yeah

[Chorus]
Girl, I Can Tell You've Been Crying
And Your Needing Somebody To Talk To ( Girrl
I've known you since you were ten you cannot
hide from your friends.) Girl, I Can Tell He's
Been LyingAnd Pretending That He's Faithful And
He Loves You Girl, You Don't Have To Be Hiding
Don't You Be Ashamed To Say He Hurt You
I'm Your Girl, You're My Girl, We're You're Girls
Don't You Know That We Love You?

[Chorus]
Girl, I Can Tell You've Been Crying
And Your Needing Somebody To Talk To
Girl, I Can Tell He's Been Lying
And Pretending That He's Faithful And He Loves You
Girl, You Don't Have To Be Hiding
Don't You Be Ashamed To Say He Hurt You
I'm Your Girl, You're My Girl, We're You're Girls
Don't You Know That We Love You?

Have I told you lately that I love you? ~smooches~

I know this is kind of late.  I first heard this song when I was a kid.

"A Change's Gonna Come"--Sam Cooke

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

That's my JAM!  I love me some Sam Cooke!
