Come ye sinners, lost and lonely
Jesus' blood can make you free.
For he saved the worst among you
When He saved a wretch like me

and I know, yes, i know,
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean.
and I know, yes, i know,
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean.

To the faint He giveth power
Through the mountains makes a away
Findeth water in the desert
Turns the night to golden day.

In temptation He is near thee,
Holds the powers of Hell at bay.
Guides you to the path of safety
Gives you grace for every day.

Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean.

Uuuu, uuuu…
I’t’s the blood of Jesus
can make you clean.

Whoa. The blood of Jesus

Why Me

2009-09-01T01:23:00.001+07:00

Why me Lord?
Whatever I have ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I’ve known
Tell me Lord
What did I ever do
that was worthy loving you
Or the kindness you’ve shown

Lord help me Jesus
I’ve wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know
That I’ve needed you so
Help me Jesus my soul is in your hands

Try me Lord
If you think there is a way
I could ever repay
All I’ve taken from you
Maybe Lord
I could show someone else
What I have been through myself
On my way back to you

Repeat Chorus...

Now that I know
that I’ve needed you so
help me Jesus my soul is in your hands

Where The River Flows

2009-09-01T01:22:00.004+07:00

where the river flows
where the river flows
bring all your troubles
take off your heavy shoes
tired of the hustle
let it wash away your blues

where the river flows
where the river flows
wade in the water
step off the dusty ground
if it gets hotter
you can cool your spirit down

flow from heaven
flow down over me

where the river flows
where the river flows
where there is healing
for every wounded soul
lost in the feeling
let the mighty river roll

flow from heaven
flow down over me

where the river flows
where, where, where, where [cascade] the river flows
where, where, where, where [cascade] the river flows
where the river flows

Where No One Stands Alone

2009-09-01T01:22:00.003+07:00

Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low
In the darkness, as black as could be
And my heart felt alone
And I cried oh Lord
Don't hide your face from me

Hold my hand all the way
Every hour every day
From here to the grave
I know
Take my hand
Let me stand
Where no one stands alone

Like a king I may live in a palace so tall
With great riches to call my own
But I dont know a thing
In this whole wide world
Thats worse then being alone

Hold me hand all the way
Every hour, every day
From here to the grave
I know
Take my hand
Let me stand
Where no one stands alone

Take my hand
Let me stand
Where no one stands alone

Where Could I Go

2009-09-01T01:22:00.001+07:00

Living below, in this old sinful world
Hardly a comfort can afford
Striving alone, to face temptation's sword
Where could I go but to the Lord?

Where could I go, oh where could I go?
Seeking a refuge for my soul
Needing a friend, to help me in the end
Where could I go, but to the Lord?

Neighbors are kind, I love them everyone
We get along in sweet accord
But when my soul, needs manner from above
Where could I go but to the Lord?

Where could I go, oh where could I go?
Seeking a refuge for my soul
Needing a friend, to help me in the end
Where could I go, but to the Lord?

Life here is grand, with friends I love so dear
Comfort I get from God's own word
Yet when I face this chilling hand of death
Where could I go but to the Lord?

Where could I go, oh where could I go?
Seeking a refuge for my soul
Needing a friend, to help me in the end
Where could I go, but to the Lord?

When We All Get Together With The Lord

2009-09-01T01:21:00.001+07:00

Now when the rich and the poor get together with the Lord
Get together, get together with the Lord
They'll treat each other like sister and brother
When they all get together with the Lord

**Now when they all get together
When they all get together with the Lord
Well They will treat each other like sister and brother
When they all get together with the Lord

Now when the tall and the small get together with the Lord
Get together, get together with the Lord
Well the weak are no longer, afraid of the stronger
When they all they all get together with the Lord

**Now when they all get together
When they all get together with the Lord
Well They will treat each other like sister and brother
When they all get together with the Lord

**Now when we all get together
When we all get together with the Lord

When we all get together with the Lord

Well God has no favorites He just Loves us all the same,
His son died to save us and to keep us in His name,
And soon we’ll rise to meet Him and forever we will reign..
And we will sing.. sing.. sing..sing..sing

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross

2009-09-01T01:20:00.000+07:00

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

See from His head, His hands, His feet
So much sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich, so rich a crown

Were this whole realm of nature mine
That were a present far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all
My life, my soul, my all

This Old House

2009-09-01T01:18:00.002+07:00

This old house once knew my wife
This old house was home and shelter as we fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness when the lightnin' walks about

Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm getting ready to meet the saints

This old house is getting shaky
This old house is getting old
This old house lets in the rain and
This old house lets in the cold
On my knees I'm getting chilly
But I feel no fear or pain
'Cause I see an angel peeking through
A broken window pane

Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm getting ready to meet the saints

Now my old hound dog lies asleeping
He don't know I'm gonna leave
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace
And he'd sit there, howl and grieve
But my hunting days are over
I aint gonna hunt the 'coon no more
Gabriel done brought in chariot
When the wind blew down the door

Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm getting ready to meet the saints

These Are They

2009-09-01T01:18:00.001+07:00

The oceans give up of the dead
That are in them
The graves open wide
To set captives free
And those who are roaming the Earth rise to meet them
Abraham's seed as the sands of the sea

Chorus

These are they
Who have come out of great tribulation
They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb
They have come through much sorrow into great jubilation
They're redimeded by the blood of the Lamb

And like a strong and mighty army
Their voices are ringing
Oh great cloud of witnesses
They sing freedom's song
As they enter the country
Built by their own fathers
The promissed homeland
They've looked for... so long

And all the strangers
And all the pilgrims
They'll be no longer strangers
All the tired and the weary wanderers
They'll wander no more
The table is spread for the great celebration
And the welcome home banner
Flies over the door

(Chorus)

There Is A River

2009-09-01T01:17:00.002+07:00

There is a river, and it flows from deep within
There is a fountain, that frees the soul from sin
Come to this water; there is a vast supply
There is a river, that never shall run dry.

There was a thirsty woman,
Who was drawing from a well
You see her life was ruined and wasted
And her soul was bound for hell
Oh but then she met the Master
And He told about her sin
And he said “if you drink this water,
You'll never thirst again.'

There is a river, and it flows from deep within
There is a fountain, that frees the soul from sin
Come to this water; there is a vast supply
There is a river, that never shall run dry.

Then Came The Morning

2009-09-01T01:17:00.001+07:00

They all walked away, with nothing to say,
They'd just lost their dearest friend.
All that He said, now He was dead,
So this was the way it would end.
The dreams they had dreamed were not what they'd seemed,
Now that He was dead and gone.
The garden, the jail, the hammer, the nail,
How could a night be so long.

Then came the morning, night turned into day;
The stone was rolled away, hope rose with the dawn.
Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun,
Death had lost and life had won, for morning had come.

The angel, the star, the kings from afar,
The wedding, the water, the wine.
Now it was done, they'd taken her son,
Wasted before his time.
She knew it was true, she'd watched him die too,
She'd heard them call Him just a man,
But deep in her heart, she knew from the start,
Somehow her Son would live again.

Then came the morning, night turned into day;
The stone was rolled away, hope rose with the dawn.
Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun,
Death had lost and life had won, for morning had come.

Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun,
Death had lost and life had won, for morning had come.

Morning had come.

The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference

2009-09-01T01:16:00.001+07:00

'Twas a life filled with aimless desperation
Without hope walked the shell of a man;
Then a hand with a nail print stretched downward,
Just one touch then a new life began.

Chorus:
And the old rugged cross made the difference
In a life bound for heartache and defeat;
I will praise Him forever and ever
For the cross made the difference for me.

Barren walls echoed harshness and anger
Little faces ran in terror to hide;
Now those walls ring with love, warmth and laughter,
Since the giver of life moved inside.
Repeat Chorus

There's a room filled with sad, ashen faces
Without hope death has wrapped them in gloom;
But at the side of a saint there's rejoicing,
For life can't be sealed in a tomb.
Repeat Chorus

The Night Before Easter

2009-09-01T01:15:00.000+07:00

The night was so different from all the rest
And a silence covers the Earth;
The stars have no glimmer, the moon tries to hide,
For in death lies the man of their birth.

Chorus:

Then a stone moves, the Earth shakes (and) birds start singing,
The sun shines, the Earth warms (for) new life it's bringing;
A little boy stops crying, a mother is smiling,
For death could not hold their King

In a room filled with sorrow, a mother cries
For Jesus, her Son now is gone;
Her child sent from heaven was taken away,
Heart broken she feels all alone.

Repeat Chorus

At the feet of his mother a little boy cries
Saying "'momma' I don't understand;"
I remember the look of love in His eyes,
That I saw, by the touch of His hand.

Repeat Chorus

The King of all ages, the Giver of life,
For a moment lies silent and still;
But a power sent from heaven comes breaking the night,
And death must bow to His will.

Repeat Chorus

Optional Ending:

When death could not hold their King.

The King is Coming

2009-09-01T01:14:00.000+07:00

Praise God, He's coming for me

The marketplace is empty, no more traffic in the street
All the builder's tools are silent, no more time to harvest wheat
Busy housewives cease their labor, in the courtroom no debate
Work on earth has been suspended as the King comes through the gate

Happy faces line the hallway, those whose lives have been redeemed
Broken homes He has mended, those from prison He has freed
Little children and the aged hand in hand stand all a-glow
Who were crippled, broken, ruined, clad in garments white as snow

Chorus:
The King is coming, the King is coming
I just heard the trumpet sounding and soon His face I'll see
The King is coming, the King is coming
Praise God, He's coming for me

I can hear the chariot's rumble, I can see the marching throng
And the fury of God's trumpet spells the end of sin and wrong
Regal rolls are now unfolded, heaven's grandstands all in place
Heaven's choir is now assembled, start to sing 'Amazing Grace'

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Praise God, He's coming for me, for me, for m

Thanks To Calvary

2009-09-01T01:12:00.000+07:00

Today, I went down to the place where I used to go
Today, I saw the same old crowd I knew before
And when they asked me what had happened, I tried to tell them,
Thanks to Calvary, I don't come here anymore.

Thanks to Calvary I am not the man (dad) I used to be
Thanks to Calvary things are different than before.
And as the tears ran down my face I tried to tell them (him)(her),
Thanks to Calvary, I don't come (live) here anymore.

Then we went down to the house where we used to live,
My little boy (girl) ran behind the door, like so many times before;
And I said "Son (Honey) you don't need to be afraid, you've got a new Daddy now,
(And I said, "Son (Honey) never fear, you've got a new Mommy here,)
Thanks to Calvary we don't live here anymore.

Thanks to Calvary I am not the man (dad) I used to be
Thanks to Calvary things are different than before.
And as the tears ran down my face I tried to tell them (him)(her),
Thanks to Calvary, I don't come (live) here anymore.

Thanks to Calvary I am not the man (dad) I used to be
Thanks to Calvary things are different than before.
And as the tears ran down my face I tried to tell them (him)(her),
Thanks to Calvary, I don't come (live) here anymore.

Thanks to Calvary, we don't live here anymore.

Still The Greatest Story Ever Told

2009-09-01T01:08:00.001+07:00

A woman and an angel, a promise and a song.
A word to grand for any mind to hold.
A tax law and a journey, a stable and some straw.
These tell the greatest story ever told.

Oh sing glory in the highest, he is come our great messiah.
Come bow before this awesome mystery.
Mighty God and fragile baby, here a lowly manger holds.
And it's still the greatest story ever told.

A hillside and some shepherds, a blaze of blinding light.
Angels singing carols in the cold.
Eternal revelation to men as dull as stone.
The glorious, greatest story ever told.

Oh sing glory in the highest, he is come our great messiah.
Come bow before this awesome mystery.
Mighty God and fragile baby, here a lowly manger holds.
And it's still the greatest story ever told.

Oh sing glory in the highest, he is come our great messiah.
Come bow before this awesome mystery.
Mighty God and fragile baby, here a lowly manger holds.
And it's still the greatest story ever told.

And it's still the greatest story ever told.

Star Spangled Banner

2009-09-01T00:51:00.000+07:00

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that Star - Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Sinner Saved By Grace

2009-09-01T00:47:00.000+07:00

If you could see what I once was
If you could go with me
Back to where I started from
Then I know you would see
A miracle of love that took me in it's sweet embrace
And made me what I am today
Just an old sinner saved by grace.

I'm just a sinner saved by grace
When I stood condemned to death
He took my place
Now I live and breathe in freedom with each breath of life I take
Loved and forgiven
Back with the living
I'm just a sinner saved by grace

How could I boast of anything I've ever seen or done?
How could I dare to claim as mine the vict'ries God has won?
Where would I be had God not brought me gently to this place?
I'm here to say I'm nothing but a sinner saved by grace

I'm just a sinner saved by grace
When I stood condemned to death
He took my place
Now I live and breathe in freedom with each breath of life I take
Loved and forgiven
Back with the living
I'm just a sinner saved by grace

All my life long I had panted for a drink from some clear spring...
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within.

Refrain
Hallelujah! I have found Him
Whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings,
Through His blood I now am saved.

Feeding on the husks around me,
Till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better,
Only still to hunger on.

Poor I was, and sought for riches,
Something that would satisfy,
But the dust I gathered round me
Only mocked my soul’s sad cry.

Well of water, ever springing,
Bread of life so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is to me.

On The Authority

2009-09-01T00:29:00.000+07:00

So many years I cried ‘cause my soul denied
That He would save a wretch like me
So full of gloom and dread that I hung my head
I wouldn’t claim the victory
Then one day His love like a winged dove
Settled down upon my life
And I realized he had authorized
My ticket to paradise

On the authority of the Holy Word
I rise up and take my stand
I’m a blood bought child of the living God
Who is the Great I Am
I’m an heir to all that heaven holds
And no principality
Can ever take away my royal crown
Given on His authority

It’s a mystery why He came to me
Why He would choose me for His own
Why He pulled me out of the lake of doubt
Set me right beside His throne
Why he guaranteed, with His seal decreed
My inheritance by right
I’m His favored child, and that makes me smile
I’m the center of His delight

On the authority of the Holy Word
I rise up and take my stand
I’m a blood bought child of the living God
Who is the Great I Am
I’m an heir to all that heaven holds
And no principality
Can ever take away my royal crown
Given on His authority

On the authority of the Holy Word
I rise up and take my stand
I’m a blood bought child of the living God
Who is the Great I Am
I’m an heir to all that heaven holds
And no principality
Can ever take away my royal crown
Given on His authority

I’m an heir to all that heaven holds
And no principality
Can ever take away my royal crown
Given on His authority

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

2009-09-01T00:23:00.000+07:00

O love that will not let me go
I rest my weary soul in thee
I give thee back the life I owe
That in thine oceans depths its flow
May richer, fuller be
O light that foll'west all my way
I yield my flickering torch to thee
My heart restores its borrowed ray
That in thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be
O joy that seekest me through pain
I cannot close my heart to thee
I trace the rainbow through the rain
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be

New Star Shining

2009-06-09T19:47:00.001+07:00

They didn't own a house
No crib, no toys were waiting
Still, they had their love for
The childthey were anticipating.
He was born one winter night
On a road between two towns
They wrapped Him up so warm and tight
and said, "It looks like heaven's come down."
Chorus:
There was a new star shining in the sky up above
By His light that winter night they found peace and perfect love
If we want to find it, I know we always will
'Cause that new star is shining for us still.
They worried how to feed Him.
Simple trade was all they knew
It was hard enough to make ends meet
When they were only two.
But the cold, the dark, and hunger,
Couldn't take away their joy
And they knew that they would find a way
For that precious baby boy.
Chorus:
There was a new star shining in the sky up above
By His light that winter night they found peace and perfect love
If we want to find it, I know we always will
'Cause that new star is shining for us still.
If we want to find it, I know we always will
'Cause that new star is shining for us still...

More Than Ever

2009-06-09T19:46:00.004+07:00

When I starte my journey in fresh child like trust,
I believed that the Lord's way was best.
I would read in his word how he mothered the bird,
and grieved when it fell from its nest.
How I felt his delight when I chose to do right,
and prayed I would not make him sad.
We would meet on the way in the cool of the day.
What a pure sweet comunion we had.

Chorus:
Oh, But now more than ever I cherish the cross.
More than ever I sit at his feet.
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true,
and he is so precious to me.

Oh, the road I have traveled has sometimes been steep,
through the wild, jagged places of life.
And sometimes I stumbled and fallen so hard
that the stones cut my soul like a knife,
but the staff of my sheperd would reach out for me
and lift me to cool pastures green.
With the oil of the Spirit anointing my wounds,
there I'd rest by the clear, healing stream.

(Repeat Chorus)

Is love's old sweet story too good to be true?
Do you find all this hard to believe?
Has the cruel world we live in so battered your heart,
that the hurt child inside you can't grieve?
I can't say I blame you I've been where you are,
and all I can say is, 'It's true!' You're wanted.
You're precious. You're the love of His heart,
and the old rugged cross was for you.

(Repeat Chorus x2)

Ending:
translate
Oh, he is so precious to me...yes! He is so precious to me.

Low Down The Chariot

2009-06-09T19:46:00.003+07:00

(chorus)
Low down the chariot let me ride
Low down the chariot let me ride
Low down the chariot let me ride
Low down the chariot let me ride
Low down the chariot let me ride
Low down the chariot let me ride
Low down the chariot let me ride
Low down the chariot let me ride
Ride on (ride on King Jesus)
Ride on (ride on King Jesus)
The conquering King
I wanna go to heaven in the morning

I've been trying so hard just to make it on through
You know I tried to live the way You want me to
I wanna say goodbye to all sin inside
I don't wanna miss that great glory ride
So when You break on through that golden sky
Please slow it down, don’t pass me by
Swing that chariot way down low
I wanna go like Elijah when I'll go.

Oh, low down the chariot (Let me ride)
Oh, low down the chariot (Let me ride)
Low down the chariot (Let me ride)
Low down the chariot (Let me ride)
Oh, low down the chariot (Let me ride)
Oh, low down the chariot (Let me ride)
Low down the chariot (Let me ride)

Loving God, Loving Each Other

2009-06-09T19:46:00.001+07:00

Loving God, loving each other,
Making music with my friends;
Loving God, loving each other,
And the music never ends.

They pushed back from the table
To listen to His words,
His secret plan before He had to go.
It's not complicated;
Don't need a lot of rules,
This is all you'll need to know.

Loving God, loving each other,
Making music with my friends;
Loving God, loving each other,
And the music never ends.

We tend to make it harder,
Build steeples out of stone,
Fill with explanations of The Way,
But if we'd stop and listen
And break a little bread,
We wuld hear the Master say

Loving God, loving each other,
Making music with my friends;
Loving God, loving each other,
And the music never ends.

Let Freedom Ring

2009-06-09T19:45:00.000+07:00

Deep within the heart has always known that there was freedom
Somehow breathed into the very soul alive
The prisoner, the powerless, the saved have always known it
There’s something that keeps reaching for the sky

Even life begins because a baby fights for freedom
And songs we love to sing have freedom’s theme
Some have walked through fire and flood to find a place of freedom
And some faced hell itself for freedom’s dream

Let freedom ring wherever minds know what it means to be in chains
Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
We can be free and we can sing --- let freedom ring

God built freedom into every fiber of creation
And He meant for us to all be free and whole
When my Lord bought freedom with the blood of His redemption
His cross stamped pardon on my very soul

I’ll sing it out with every breath, I’ll let the whole world hear it
This hallelujah anthem of the free
That iron bars and heavy chains can never hold us captive
The Son has made us free and free indeed

Let freedom ring down through the ages from a hill called Calvary
Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring
You can be free and you can sing --- let freedom ring --- let freedom ring

It Is Finished

2009-06-09T19:43:00.005+07:00

There’s a line that is drawn thru the ages
on that line stands an old rugged cross
on that cross a battle is raging
to gain a mans soul or it’s loss
on one side march the forces of evil
all the demons all the devils of hell
on the other the angels of glory
and they meet on Golgotha’s hill
the earth shakes with the force of the conflict
and the sun refuses to shine
for there hangs God’s son in the balance
and then thru the darkness He cries

It is finished, the battle is over
It is finished there’ll be no more war
It is finished the end of the conflict
It is finished and Jesus is Lord

Yet in my heart the battle was still raging
Not all prisoners of war had come home
These were battlefields of my own making
I didn’t know that the war had been won
Oh but then I heard the king of the ages
Had fought all the battles for me
And that victory was mine for the claiming
And now praise his name I am free

I’ll Worship Only

2009-06-09T19:43:00.001+07:00

I went to visit the shrine of plenty,
But found it stores all filled with dust,
I bowed at alters of gold and silver,
But as I knelt there they turned to rust.

So I'll worship only at the feet of Jesus,
His cup alone, my holy grail,
There'll be no other gods before Him,
Just Jesus only will never fail.

The call of fortune made me a pilgrim,
To journey to things promised us,
But as I climbed the promise faded,
And when blew lonely all through the night.

So I'll worship only at the feet of Jesus,
His cup alone, my holy grail,
There'll be no other gods before Him,
Just Jesus only will never fail.

Just dessert dust and empty shadows,
All promises that turned to lies,
The gods offer fail and betray me,
You alone are truth and life.

So I'll worship only at the feet of Jesus,
His cup alone, my holy grail,
There'll be no other gods before Him,
Just Jesus only will never fail.
Just Jesus only will never fail…

I Wiil Go On

2009-06-09T19:42:00.004+07:00

Uh...

I repent for moments I have spent
Recalling all the pain and failures of my past
I repent for dwelling on the things
Beyond my power to change the chains that hold me fast

I will go on my past I leave behind me
I gladly take His mercy and His love
He is joy and He is peace
He strenghen and sweet relieves
I know He is and I am His
I will go on

I give up the bitterness and hate
The blaming man in fade
For all my discontent
The guilty and pain I am emptying from my cup
So God can fill it all with peace and sweet content

I will go on my past I leave behind me
I gladly take His mercy and His love
He is joy and He is peace
He strenghen and sweet relieves
I know He is and I am His

I will go on my past I leave behind me
I gladly take His mercy and His love
He is joy and he is peace
He strenghen and sweet relieves
I know He is and I am His

I will go on

Go on...

I Do Believe

2009-06-09T19:42:00.003+07:00

Some say faith is just believing
others say its self deceiving
inventing childish dreams to get us through
Deep inside me, there’s a yearning
for true wisdom, not just learning
I'd trade all my clever questions
for one answer that is true

I do believe
You are the one
the home I've longed to find
my only hope
God's only son
I do believe
I touch I see
that all along
You've longed to be
my lord
my God

Lord you know, I need some answers
questions eat at me like cancer
make me once again, a simple child
help me take the risk of losing
lose it all to find in choosing
to believe You are the answer
earth and heaven reconciled

I do believe
You are the one
the home I've longed to find
my only hope
God's only son
I do believe
I touch I see
that all along
You've longed to be

I do believe
You are the one
the home I've longed to find
my only hope
God's only son
I do believe
I touch, I see
that all along You've longed to be
my Lord
my GOD
my Lord
my GOD

I Believe In A Hill Called Mount Calvary

2009-06-09T19:42:00.001+07:00

I believe in a hill called mount calvary
I believe whatever the cost
And when time has surrendered
And earth is no more
I'll still cling to the old rugged cross

I believe that this life with its great mysteries
Surely someday will come to an end
But faith will conquer the darkness and death
And will lead at last to my friend

I believe that the Christ
Who was slain on the cross
Has the power to change lives today
For He changed me completely
A new life is mine
And that is why by the cross
I will stay

I believe in a hill called mount calvary
I believe whatever the cost
And when time has surrendered
And earth is no more
I'll still cling to the old rugged cross

Hide Thou Me

2009-06-09T19:41:00.004+07:00

Ohh...then I cried oh rock of ages
hide thou me

sometimes I feel discouraged
and I think my works in vain
I'm tempted oft(en) to murmur
to grumble and complain
ohh...but then I think of Jesus
and all he's done for me

then I cry
ohh...rock of ages
hide thou me
ohh...rock of ages
hide thou me

there is no other refuge
can save, Lord, but thee
and through this dark world
I've wandered far, far from thee

then I cry
ohh...rock of ages
hide (dear Lord) thou me
(hide thou me)

He's Watching Me

2009-06-09T19:41:00.003+07:00

He has Jupiter for a pillow,
an angel choir for a lullaby,
clouds for a blanket,
and the moon is his night light.
But he don't ever sleep,
'cause he's busy watching over me.
He rules the universe, from his throne on high.
But when I need attention, he is by my side,
He's watching me. Yes, he's watching me.

He's a busy God but on his list of things to do,
his number one priority is watching me and you.
He's taking care of business, feeding birds and making rain.
But he'll stop what he's doing when I speak his name.
Cause he's watching, he's watching me.

He might be busy painting rainbows,
or making demons plead.
But he'll still find the time to make some time for you and me.
There's nothing, no no nothing, he would rather do.
Well he knows when I'm in trouble, he don't miss a beat.
Oen eye's on that sparrow and the other one's on me,
He's watching me. Yes, he's watching me.

He's a busy God but on his list of things to do,
his number one priority is watching me and you.
He's taking care of business, feeding birds and making rain.
But he'll stop what he's doing when I speak his name.
He's a busy God but on his list of things to do,
his number one priority is watching me and you.
He's taking care of business, feeding birds and making rain.
But he'll stop what he's doing when I speak his name.
Cause he's watching, he's watching me. Yes he's watching, he's watching me.
Well, he's watching, he's watching me.

He Will Carry You

2009-06-09T19:40:00.001+07:00

There is no problem too big
God cannot solve
There is no mountain too tall
He cannot move
There is not storm too dark
God cannot calm
There is no sorrow too deep
He cannot soothe

If He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
I know, my brother that He will carry you
If He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
I know, my sister that He will carry you

He said come on to me all who are weary
And I will give you rest

He Touched Me

2009-06-09T19:39:00.000+07:00

Shackled by a heavy burden
'Neath a load of guilt and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me
And now I am no longer the same

For He touched me, oh He touched me
And oh what a joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole

Oh since I met this blessed Savior
And since he cleaned and made me whole
Oh I never cease, never cease to prise Him
I'll shout it while eternity rolls

Oh He touched me, oh He touched me
And oh what a joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole

He Came Down To My Level

2009-06-09T19:38:00.002+07:00

He came down to my level
When I couldn’t get up to His
With a strong arm He lifted me up
To show me what livin’ is
He’ll come down to your level if you’ll open up the door
He wants to make your life worth livin’
That’s what he came down for

He came down to my level
When I couldn’t get up to His
With a strong arm He lifted me up
To show me what livin’ is
He’ll come down to your level if you’ll open up the door
He wants to make your life worth livin’
That’s what he came down for

If you’re lookin’ for contentment
In the things that you can see
You’re gonna have some disappointment
So won’t you listen to me please
‘Cause I know about a Savior
He came down to be a man
And when He left He sent His Spirit
He made me everything to me.

He came down to my level
When I couldn’t get up to His
With a strong arm He lifted me up
To show me what livin’ is
He’ll come down to your level if you’ll open up the door
He wants to make your life worth livin’
That’s what he came down for

Sometimes I make decisions
That later I regret
But the Lord keep assuring me
He’s not finished with me yet
I don’t worry about tomorrow
I don’t worry about yesterday
I don’t worry about this crazy world
‘Cause I Found a better way

He came down to my level
When I couldn’t get up to His
With a strong arm He lifted me up
To show me what livin’ is
He’ll come down to your level if you’ll open up the door
He wants to make your life worth livin’
That’s what he came down for

He came down to my level
When I couldn’t get up to His
With a strong arm He lifted me up
To show me what livin’ is
He’ll come down to your level if you’ll open up the door
He wants to make your life worth livin’
That’s what he came down for

He wants to make your life worth livin’
That’s what he came down for
That’s what he came down for

Glorious Impossible

See the Virgin is delivered
In a cold and crowded stall;
Mirror of the Father's glory
Lies beside her in the straw.
He is Mercy's incarnation
Marvel at this miracle!
For the Virgin gently holds the
Glorious Impossible.

Love has come to walk on water,
Turn the water into wine,
Touch the leper, bless the children
Love both human and divine.
Praise the wisdom of the Father
Who has spoken through his Son.
Speaking still, He calls us to the
Glorious Impossible.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Had It Not Been

2009-06-09T19:37:00.000+07:00

Just suppose God searched through Heaven,
And couldn't find one willing to be,
The supreme sacrifice that was needed,
That would buy eternal life for you and me

Had it not been for a place called Mount Calvary,
Had it not been for the old rugged cross,
Had it not been for a man called Jesus,
Then forever my soul would be lost

Well I'm so glad He was willing to drink His bittercup,
Although He prayed "Father let it pass from me",
And I'm so glad He never called Heaven's angels,
From these hands, Pulled the nails that torment me

Then forever my soul would be lost

First I hurt You and drove You away
Then pride kept me silent when I needed to say.

Forgive me, I'm so sorry
I need You, I always will
This hole in my heart Lord, only You can fill
Forgive me, please take me home.

The trust that's been shattered
Love can restore
And time will heal
Our broken heart.

Forgive me, I'm so sorry
I love You, I need You so
Moments are fragile, let's hold them close
Forgive me, please take me home.

Forgive me, I'm so sorry

Forgive me, please take me home.

US Technology Heads to Brazil For Black Box Search

RECIFE, Brazil – A U.S. Navy team was flying to Brazil on Monday with high-tech, underwater listening devices to help the search for the black boxes from an Air France plane that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean.

Brazilian and French military ships, which have so far recovered 17 bodies and large amounts of plane wreckage from the sea, resumed their search amid the floating debris.

What caused the Airbus A330 to crash May 31 with 228 people on board will remain a mystery unless searchers can locate the plane's black box flight data and voice recorders, likely buried deep in the middle of the ocean.

Two U.S. Navy devices that can detect emergency beacons to a depth of 20,000 feet (6,100 meters) are being flown to Brazil with a Navy team, according to the Pentagon. They will be delivered to two French tugs that will then listen for transmissions from the black boxes, which are programmed to emit signals for at least 30 days.

Bodies recovered Sunday raised the total to 17, after pilots in a grid search found 15 corpses about 45 miles (70 kilometers) from where the jet sent out messages signaling electrical failures and loss of cabin pressure.

The first two bodies were found Saturday. Authorities also announced that searchers spotted two airplane seats, debris with Air France's logo, and recovered dozens of structural components from the plane. They had already recovered jet wing fragments, and said hundreds of personal items believed to from passengers were plucked from the water.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said his nation's military would do all it can to retrieve bodies and return them to relatives.

"We know how significant it is for a family to recover their loved one," Silva said Monday on his weekly radio show.

France is leading the investigation into the cause of the crash, while Brazilian officials are focusing on the recovery of victims and plane wreckage.

There is "no more doubt" that the wreckage is from Air France Flight 447, Brazilian Air Force Col. Henry Munhoz said Sunday.

Flight 447 disappeared and likely broke up in midair in turbulent weather the night of May 31 en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.

The search is focusing on a zone of several hundred square miles (square kilometers) roughly 400 miles (640 kilometers) northeast of the Fernando de Noronha islands off Brazil's northern coast.

Brazilian authorities have refused to release the precise coordinates of where they are looking, except to say the area lies southeast of the last jet transmission and could have indicated the pilot was trying to turn around in mid-flight and head back to the islands.

The investigation is increasingly focused on whether external instruments on the Airbus A330 may have iced over, confusing speed sensors and leading computers to set the plane's speed too fast or slow — a potentially deadly mistake.

The French agency investigating the disaster said airspeed instruments on the plane had not been replaced as the maker had recommended, but cautioned that it was too early to draw conclusions about what role that may have played in the crash.

The agency, BEA, said the plane received inconsistent airspeed readings from different instruments as it struggled in a massive thunderstorm.

Nine bodies have been recovered by Brazilian authorities: four men, four women and one that was impossible to identify by gender, Munhoz said. He did not have information about the genders of the eight bodies recovered by French military helicopters that were transferred to a French ship.

Munhoz and Brazilian Navy Capt. Giucemar Tabosa Cardoso declined to comment on the condition of the bodies, saying that information would be too emotionally painful for relatives.

Neither would authorities immediately identify hundreds of personal items that have been recovered. Relatives of the victims were devastated by an announcement Saturday that a laptop computer and briefcase containing a plane ticket had been found.

"We don't want to cause them more suffering," Munhoz said.

The bodies and plane wreckage were being transported by Brazilian and French ships and should arrive Tuesday at the Fernando de Noronha islands, where the military has set up a staging post for the search operation. From there, remains and debris will be taken to the northeastern coastal city of Recife for identification.

Meanwhile, friends and family remembered geologist Michael Prince Harris and his wife, Anne Debaillon Harris — the only U.S. citizens on the plane — in a memorial service Sunday in Lafayette, Louisiana.

The couple had lived in Lafayette before moving to Houston and then Brazil.

The Pentagon has said there are no signs that terrorism was involved in the crash.

Heavyweight Orbits Cross In St. Louis

ST. LOUIS – Brett Rogers’ new mixed martial arts gym in Eagan, Minn., is named Ambition MMA, an appropriate moniker for a place that houses a guy looking to move to the top of the heavyweight division.

There is little doubt what the future holds for the undefeated Rogers, who scored a spectacular first-round knockout of former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight king Andrei Arlovski Saturday on a Strikeforce card at the Scottrade Center.

More serious questions surround the future of Arlovski, who has now been knocked out in each of his last two fights.

Arlovski, the former UFC heavyweight champion, is good enough to beat the majority of the world’s heavyweights. He doesn’t look like a guy, though, who is prepared to beat the elite men in the important bouts.

Rogers needed just 22 seconds to dispose of Arlovski on Saturday. He blasted the Belarusian with a left hook that sent the popular former champ staggering back into the cage. Rogers finished him with a flurry of punches, including a left-right-left combination that nearly left Arlovski’s head spinning like a top.

Rogers, the one-time Sam’s Club employee, guaranteed himself another high-profile bout with the nationally televised victory. He may get a shot at Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem on an Aug. 15 card that also features a women’s showdown between Gina Carano and Cris “Cyborg” Santos.

“I’m ready for whatever, man,” Rogers said after improving to 10-0 with his ninth knockout. “I was planning on picking that (heavyweight title) up today, but it was kind of pushed back. I hope he’s keeping that belt good and clean for me.”

Arlovski is only 30 years old, and there’s no reason he couldn’t continue to fight at a high level for four or five more years. But when a man has scaled the heights that Arlovski has, it’s often difficult to accept being a middle-of-the-pack guy.

That’s what Arlovski appears to be at this stage. He was knocked out by Fedor Emelianenko in Anaheim, Calif., in January and suffered a similar fate on Saturday to a man with a far less impressive résumé than Emelianenko.

Many fighters who get knocked out as hard as Arlovski was by Emelianenko are never truly able to take a hard shot again.

It’s hard to question Arlovski’s chin on Saturday because the punches Rogers hit him with were powerful enough to knock down a schoolyard wall. The psychological effect, though, of another knockout loss figures to have a far more lasting impact than the physical damage sustained.

Rogers, though, inflicted plenty of that. He made little pretense of what he intended to do and then simply went out and overpowered Arlovski.

“He wasn’t moving much,” Rogers said.

That’s probably because the first clean punch Rogers landed, a left hook to the cheek, appeared to put Arlovski out on his feet. He was back against the cage when Rogers waded in firing heavy shots, forcing referee John McCarthy to jump in and stop the carnage after Arlovski dropped to the mat.

“I wanted to show everyone I’m not in there to play around,” Rogers said.

If he gets past Overeem in August, he’ll have positioned himself to fight the biggest names available. Though Rogers’ record isn’t filled with big names, he’s only been out of the first round once in 10 fights, and that has to count for something. You can bet that the Showtime television executives have taken note of that.

What clouds Arlovski’s future is that those same executives undoubtedly were carefully watching his last two outings. Because of his past he commands big money, but fighters who make big money in MMA do it by fighting top-shelf competition.

But after back-to-back crushing knockouts, it’s doubtful Arlovski is going to get another fight of similar magnitude anytime soon.

He was so confident of a victory on Saturday that he’d already agreed to a boxing match on June 27 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. That, too, went out the window when he got knocked out by Rogers.

Arlovski’s boxing handlers were excited by his potential and believed he had the skills to compete for a title. His confidence, though, is now as shattered as his chin.

Rogers has no such issues. His confidence soared with the career-defining win over Arlovski, and his prospects are exceedingly bright.

Rogers hasn’t proven he has a ground game, though the other way to look at is that he hasn’t needed to. If he keeps knocking guys out, he won’t have to worry about his ground skills.

He began training in his spare time while he worked in the tire department at a Minnesota Sam’s Club. He finally decided earlier this year to give the job up for good so he could concentrate on MMA full-time.

It clearly looked like a good move on Saturday, though Rogers doesn’t want to get caught up in the hype.

“I’m not the only guy who started in the working world,” Rogers said. “This was a perfect opportunity and this sport is all about timing. Definitely this is my time and I’m just going to keep on working.”

The only difference between now and six months ago is that he can do his work in a spiffy new gym and doesn’t have to worry about throwing tires around in an auto shop.

It’s the guy he beat on Saturday who might have to think about getting a job.

Oprah Responds to Newsweek Article About Bad Medical Advice

Oprah Winfrey thinks her viewers are smarter than Newsweek magazine's most recent cover story implies.

The talk show queen responded to the magazine's article that condemned the medical advice given by some of her guests, according to Us. Winfrey said she's not endorsing any method, but rather putting out information for her viewership to consider.

"For 23 years, my show has presented thousands of topics that reflect the human experience, including doctors' medical advice and personal health stories that have prompted conversations between our audience members and their health care providers," Winfrey said in a statement. "I trust the viewers, and I know that they are smart and discerning enough to seek out medical opinions to determine what may be best for them."

The article — which sports the headline "Crazy Talk: Oprah, Wacky Cures & You" on the cover — takes Winfrey to task for offering medical tips on her show that the magazine suggests are ineffective and possibly dangerous. While the article praises Winfrey's health and fitness experts Dr. Mehmet Oz and trainer Bob Green, it's particularly critical of such celebrity guests as Suzanne Somers and Jenny McCarthy, who advocated taking 60 daily supplements and avoiding vaccinations out of fear that they cause autism, respectively. The article suggests that Winfrey fails to challenge these guests and their ideas on her show.

Do you think Oprah promotes unsafe health practices?

NKorea Sentences 2 US Journalists to 12 Years Jail

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea's top court convicted two American journalists and sentenced them to 12 years in labor prison Monday, intensifying the reclusive nation's confrontation with the United States.

The North's Central Court tried TV reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee during proceedings running from last Thursday to Monday and found them guilty of a "grave crime" against the nation, and of illegally crossing into North Korea, the country's state-run Korean Central News Agency said.

It said the court "sentenced each of them to 12 years of reform through labor." The KCNA report gave no other details.

Ling and Lee — who were working for former Vice President Al Gore's California-based Current TV — cannot appeal because they were tried in North Korea's highest court, where decisions are final.

Many analysts believe there is a good chance the two woman will be freed. They say the reporters are being used by Pyongyang as bargaining chips in its standoff with South Korea and the United States, which are pushing for U.N. sanctions to punish the North for its latest nuclear test and a barrage of missile tests.

By sentencing them to prison, North Korea has "paved the way for a political pardon and a diplomatic solution," said Yang Moo-jin, a professor at Seoul's University of North Korean Studies.

He noted that a pardon can only be issued after a conviction and that the regime's courts were not about to find the reporters innocent, which would imply they were wrongly arrested.

Kim Yong-hyun, a professor at Seoul's Dongguk University, said the sentence — the maximum possible allowed by the North's laws — could have been a reaction to strong statements from the U.S., including threats of sanctions and putting North Korea back on a list of state sponsors of terrorism.

"I think this is the North's response to recent hard-line moves by the U.S.," Kim said. "But the sentence doesn't mean much because the issue will be resolved diplomatically in the end."

The circumstances surrounding the trial of the two journalists and their arrest March 17 on the China-North Korean border have been shrouded in secrecy, as is typical of the reclusive nation. The trial was not open to the public or foreign observers, including the Swedish Embassy, which looks after American interests in the absence of diplomatic relations.

The two were reporting about the trafficking of women at the time of their arrest, and it's unclear if they strayed into the North or were grabbed by aggressive border guards who crossed into China.

U.S. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said Washington was trying to confirm press reports of the sentencing.

Kelly said the U.S. was "deeply concerned" about the sentences and that officials would "engage in all possible channels" to free the women.

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said the former vice president has no comment. The South Korean government also did not comment. Alanna Zahn, a spokeswoman for the journalists' families, said the family members are not currently available for any interviews.

Another American who was tried in North Korea in 1996 was treated more leniently. Evan C. Hunziker, apparently acting on a drunken dare, swam across the Yalu River — which marks the North's border with China — and was arrested after farmers found the man, then 26, naked. He was accused of spying and detained for three months before being freed after negotiations with a special U.S. envoy.

The North Koreans wanted Hunziker to pay a $100,000 criminal fine but eventually agreed on a $5,000 payment to settle a bill for a hotel where he was detained.

Daystar (Shine Down On Me)

2009-06-07T17:14:00.002+07:00

Lily of the Valley, let your sweet aroma fill my life
Rose of Sharon show me how to grow in beauty in God's sight
Fairest of ten thousand make me a reflection of your light
Daystar shine down on me let your love shine through me in the night

Lead me Lord, I'll follow. Anywhere you open up the door
Let your word speak to me, show me what I've never seen before
Lord I want to be your witness, you can take what's wrong and make it right
Daystar shine down on me, let your love shine through me in the night

Lord I've seen a world that's dying wounded by the master of deceit
Groping in the darkness, haunted by the years of past defeat
But when I see you standing near me shining with compassion in your eyes
I pray Jesus shine down on me let your love shine through me in the night

Lead me Lord, I'll follow anywhere you open up the door
Let your word speak to me, show me what I've never seen before
Lord I want to be your witness, you can take what's wrong and make it right
Daystar shine down on me, let your love shine through me in the night

Child, You're Forgiven

2009-06-07T17:13:00.001+07:00

I came to Jesus
I took my Stand
But what I'd surrendered
was back in my hands
Defeated by failures
haunted by fears
I cried out in anguish
"My God, are you here?"

Chorus
He said child you're forgiven
forgiven and free
he said it, I heard it
Sweet victory
The future can never
intimidate me
since I've been forgiven
forgiven and free

I'm resting and growing
in His strong embrace
I've traded performance
for amazing grace
My soul is at rest
oh, but I still must rejoice
When I think of the day
that I heard His voice

What a relief,
Because I can't earn my way
When I come up empty
My father pays
I'm learning to live,
And I'm learning to die
And one of these days
I'll be learning to fly

Beyond The Open Door

2009-06-07T17:12:00.002+07:00

In the things familiar we find security
Resisting all the changes that days and years can bring,
When God decides to lead you through an open door
Inviting you to walk in realms you've never walked before.

Beyond the open door is a new and fresh anointing,
Hear the Spirit calling you to go.
Walk on through the door for the Lord will go before you
Into a greater power you've never known before.

Hear the spirit calling to wake the living dead,
To reach the huddled masses who cry out for living bread.
Arise oh mighty army, take up thy shield and sword
For the Father lifts His golden lamp beside the open door.

Beyond the open door is a new and fresh anointing,
Hear the Spirit calling you to go.
Walk on through the door for the Lord will go before you
Into a greater power you've never known (build and change keys)

Beyond the open door is a new and fresh anointing,
Hear the Spirit calling you to go.
Walk on through the door for the Lord will go before you
Into a greater power you've never known (soften) . . .

Where He leads me, I will follow
Where He leads me, I will follow
And where He leads me, I will follow
Into a greater power we've never known before,
Beyond the open door

Because He lives

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

And then one day, I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

At The Cross

2009-06-07T17:11:00.003+07:00

Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sov’reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For sinners such as I?
Refrain:
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!
Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine—
And bathed in its own blood—
While the firm mark of wrath divine,
His soul in anguish stood.
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
For man the creature’s sin.
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.
But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
’Tis all that I can do.

A Picture Of Grace

2009-06-07T17:06:00.003+07:00

Picture a man with no reason for living,
With no hope of smiling again.
Imagine a world with no golden daybreak,
Enclosed by the blackness of sin.
And the sea is bathed in beauty and glory, transformed by love's sweet embrace, The hands of the Savior, erased all my sorrow and painted this picture of Grace.
How skillful the hands of the artist, who painted this picture of me,
He saw with the eye's of a Master, how beautiful my life could be, where once was a portrait of gloom and despair, this masterpiece hangs in it's place, It's signed with His blood and it's framed with His glory, this beautiful picture of Grace, The ashes and ruin, that once filled the picture, had vanished and faded from view, and beautiful touches of mercy adourned, this picture he painted anew.
Such peace filled the eyes of the man He created, a smile gently rests on his face, Since Jesus erased all the guilt of my past and painted this picture of grace,
How skillful the hands of the artist, who painted this picture of me,
He saw with the eye's of a Master, how beautiful my life could be, where once was a portrait of gloom and despair, this masterpiece hangs in it's place, It's signed with His blood and it's framed with His glory, this beautiful picture of Grace. Where once was a portrait of gloom and despair, this masterpiece hangs in it's place, It's signed with His blood and it's framed in His glory, this beautiful picture of Grace.
This beautiful picture of Grace.

Behold the tabernacle of God is with men
He shall dwell with them and they shall be His people
And almighty God will be with them

He shall wipe away all tears from their eyes
There shall be no more death
Neither sorrow, nor crying, and no more pain
The former things are all passed away

He that sat upon the throne said,
“Behold, I make all things new”
He said unto me, “Write these words
For they are faithful and true”

It is done (4 Times)

He is the Alpha and Omega
The Beginning and the End
The Son of God, the King of Kings
Lord of lords, He’s Everything
Messiah, Jehovah
The Prince of Peace is He
The Son of Man, Seed of Abraham

A Few Good Men

2009-06-06T22:43:00.003+07:00

What this dying world could use is a willing Man of God
Who dares to go against the grain and works without applause;
A man who'll raise the shield of Faith, protecting what is pure;
Whose love is tough and gentle; a man whose word is sure.

God doesn't need an Orator who knows what just to say;
He doesn't need authorities to reason Him away;
He doesn't need an army to guarantee a win;
He just needs a Few Good Men.

Men full of Compassion, who Laugh and Love and Cry-
Men who'll face Eternity and aren't afraid to die-
Men who'll fight for Freedom and Honor once again-
He just needs a Few Good Men.

He calls the broken derelict whose life has been renewed;
He calls the one who has the strength to stand up for the Truth.
Enlistment lines are open and He wants you to come in-
He just needs a Few Good Men.

Men full of Compassion, who Laugh and Love and Cry-
Men who'll face Eternity and aren't afraid to die-
Men who'll fight for Freedom and Honor once again-
He just needs a Few Good Men.

Men full of Compassion, who Laugh and Love and Cry-
Men who'll face Eternity and aren't afraid to die-
Men who'll fight for Freedom and Honor once again-
He just needs a Few Good Men.

Rahasia Menaikkan Rank Alexa

2009-01-03T19:46:00.004+07:00

Di article tentang monetized blog diulas sedikit tentang pentingnya peringkat alexa untuk blog kita, karena banyak broker dan advertisee lebih memilih peringkat alexa dari pada google page rank yang hanya sekedar menghitung banyaknya backlink yang mengarah ke suatu situs / blog. Tanpa peduli apakah blog tsb memilik pengunjung ataupun tidak. Dan peringkat alexa rupanya sangat objectif dalam memberikan penilaian. Bisa saja suatu blog memiliki PR3 hanya dalam tempo 1 bulan , tapi trafficnya cuma 100 pengunjung saja hanya karena sang webmaster membeli link dari blog lain.

Dan peringkat alexa ini di hitung berdasarkan jumlah kunjungan yang didapatkan suatu blog , entah itu karena optimasi seo , promosi dan lainnya. Yang penting , makin banyak traffic makin bagus peringkatnya. Untuk mendatangkan traffic sudah dibahas di sini, namun ada cara efektif untuk meningkatan rank alexa agar kita harus menunggu lama untuk memdapatkan posisi bagus.

Langkah mudah menaikkan alexa rank :

• Tulis Article tentang alexa.

Blog ini menulis article ini , bertujuan juga untk menaikkan peringkat alexanya. Karena blog ini ditargetkan untuk make money online. Letakan berbagai keyword efektif tentang alexa , Secret alexa, etc agar lebih mudah terindex search engine. Jadi traffic akan diperoleh.

• Pasang widget alexa di blog anda.

Coba anda lihat , saya memasang widget alexa diblog ini bukan sekedar pajangan saja. Ini akan menghitung jumlah kunjunan ke blog. Makin banyak kunjungan , makin bagus peringkatnya.

• Install Alexa toolbar

Silahkan anda install alexa toolbar di browser yang digunakan untuk online. Dengan menginstall alexa toolbar, maka setiap blog yang kita kunjungi akan terhitung oleh alexa. Makin sering blog kita kunjungi , makin naik peringkat alexanya.

• Beri Komentar di blog

Seperti yang saya tulis di sini , rupanya dengan makin sering kita blog walking akan membawa pengaruh positif ke blog kita sendiri. Namun, bukan sekedar blog walking saja , tnpa criteria hanya kan membuat kita letih dan cape. Cari blog yg peringkat alexanya bagus , dan berikomentear . Dg begitu peringka alexa kita akan terdongkrak naik. Artinya apa, kita ikut memperoleh popularity dari blog yg kita kunjungi.

Nah, dari keempat cara di atas saya telah menjalankan dan melihat perkembangan yang sangat signifikan pada blog ini. Kita lihat aja….

Menjilat Sampul Surat

2008-12-25T12:19:00.000+07:00

Seorang wanita bekerja di sebuah kantor Pos di California Amerika Serikat. Dia tidak menggunakan lem untuk perekat sampul suratnya tapi sebaliknya dia menjilat pelekat sampul surat yang dipegangnya dan itu sering dilakukan ketika tidak menemukan lem untuk merekatkan sampul surat.

Pada hari yang sama, wanita itu mendapati terdapat luka kecil pada lidahnya. Luka itu membengkak. Wanita tersebut lalu pergi ke dokter setempat untuk mendapatkan perawatan karena risau akan lukanya itu.

Setelah diperiksa, dokter menyatakan kalau lukanya tidak apa-apa, hanya luka kecil dan bengkak biasa.Wanita itupun juga tidak merasakan sakit atau kebas walaupun lidahnya bengkak. Tetapi setelah berganti hari bengkak tersebut semakin membesar.

Dengan rasa tidak puas dia pergi lagi ke dokter dan memaksa untuk melakukan sesuatu pada lidahnya. Dokter menyarankan melakukan tes x-ray. Dokter menemukan suatu benjolan luka pada lidahnya dan kemudian membedahnya. Ternyata dokter menemukan seekor lipas (sejenis kaki seribu) keluar dari lidahnya!!

Kesimpulannya terdapat telur lipas pada pelekat sampul surat yang dijilatnya ketika wanita itu bekerja. Telur itu mampu menetas di dalam lidah dan karena kelembaban di dalam mulutnya menyebabkan telur itu menetas. Ini kisah benar yang ditulis oleh Kantor Berita CNN.

Andi Humes menulis :
“Saya pernah bekerja di bagian perekat yang dibuat pada sampul surat, anda tentu tidak percaya jika saya mengatakan di dalam tangki penampungan lem yang dibuat sebagai lem pada penutup sampul surat itu terdapat beraneka benda yang terapung di permukaan “tray” gam tersebut!”.
“Saya sudah bertahun-tahun tidak melakukan perbuatan menjilat perekat sampul surat, tetapi saya menggunakan spam / kain basah”.
“Suatu hari ketika saya menarik satu palet sampul surat sebanyak 2500 kotak, di belakangnya terdapat banyak sekali lipas dan ratusan atau mungkin ribuan telur lipas di suatu sudut pada kotak kertas. Saya melihat beberapa ekor lipas sedang menikmati gam pada sampul-sampul surat tersebut!”.

Ck..ck..ck Aduh serem banget…. Jadi hati-hati ya, ternyata menjilat sampul surat yang kita anggap sebagai hal sepele bisa sangat berbahaya.. mulai sekarang ngga usah deh menjilat-jilat sampul surat, kalau ngga ada lem pakai air kan bisa, soalnya sampul surat sudah ada perekatnya atau yang sudah ada lemnya. Sebaiknya jangan kasih mainan yang terbuat dari kertas untuk bayi dan anak-anak.

Semoga bermanfaat.

The Young Entrepreneur

2008-12-16T22:45:00.001+07:00

One good thing about being young is the opportunity of exploring beyond your boundaries with a good excuse of “because we’re young”. And this is what makes young entrepreneurship fun and ideal.

A big advantage that teenagers have is less responsibilities and more time to waste. Unlike adults who are stretching their 24-hour life thinking on how to make a living. Although the risk would be immense with lack of experience and knowledge, a teenager can start with what he knows…being young.

New entrepreneurs aging 16-21 are showing more vitality and perseverance to engage in a profitable market industry. Growing adolescent minds develop as fast as mobile companies introduce new breed of mobile phones. An ideal teenager can earn as much as $50 a day. Now, are you paying attention?

Think Young

Majority of our population is composed of teenagers with curious mind. Introducing a new line of clothing that looks like a blast from the past would not catch their attention. When you think of putting up a business intended for the youth like yourself, is should coincide with their heart’s desire. Look at the path where they trod.

Extract it From Reality

Practical people always go for what they need instead of buying what they want. Recognize the difference? Something you want wouldn’t turn out as something you need. You would want apple juice to quench your thirst but all you need is water. Yet something you need would always be something you want. Pacify the masses with what’s essential.

But don’t settle to what is traditional and basic. Instead, add up to what’s already there. Invent. Awake you innovative mind. Improvise. Water would always be water. But when you mix minerals and electrolytes, wham! an energy drink is born.

Be a Techie

Information before is wired up to a tube. But now, it flies with the wind. Computer technology is becoming a must among everyone. It has successfully improved the lifestyle of business establishments, big or small. If you try to dig into the internet, billions of advertisements flood your screen. Why not clicking on one of them? You never know when it might interest you.

Count Your Savings

A penny for your thoughts? Nah, keep your thoughts, I’ll keep my penny. Putting up a business is a tough deal especially when you don’t have the appropriate amount of money to fund it. But where would a kid like you get it when your piggy bank has been used up? If you’re 13, talk convincingly to your parents or your close relatives and try to make them understand that you are old enough to run your own business and don’t let them think that you’ll just use the money for a video game.

If you’re 16, you could borrow it from your friends or significant someone. The moment you turn 18, more opportunities to borrow money or capital would come through. Business firms allowing enthusiasts to accumulate a certain kind of amount plus interest. Lending companies as we call them. With determination, you could see your money rolling.

Fine a cure for teenage immaturity. Engage yourself with what you’re made of. Don’t be satisfied sitting at one corner reading your notes. Being small doesn’t mean you have to aim and act small. Live to conquer. Start with something.

The Next Entrepreneur

2008-12-16T22:35:00.002+07:00

An entrepreneur does many wonderful things. In fact, many people are amazed with how the entrepreneur's mind works. How does an entrepreneur become successful? And most importantly, do you want to be a successful entrepreneur too?

Firstly, an effective entrepreneur should have great ideas. You have to research if your business idea is feasible. After gathering all the needed information, you can now decide if you will pursue the business idea or simply file it and do it in the future. For instance, you decide to pursue the idea. The next thing that you would have to focus on is generating the capital needed.

The projects undertaken by entrepreneurs are done in a very careful manner. Demand research is a very important aspect to determine if a business is feasible or not. Saturated and established markets are a big no for entrepreneurs because their aim is to earn more money. With this kind of market, the business that they are about to put up is suicidal because of the extreme competition.

If you want to become a successful entrepreneur, you have to work on some concepts such as ROI or return on investment, compounding capital, economy of scale, speed of business returns, and many others.

You can't work your way to success if you don’t know these concepts. So you have to study and continue your learning. If you can study a business related course, do so. Having the proper educational background will help you a lot in succeeding in the business world.

According to many expert entrepreneurs, education is not enough. As an entrepreneur, you must have the right attitude and qualities. Now what are these attitudes and qualities? Firstly, you have to be hard working. You have to be willing to work many hours of the day or night especially if you're a beginner.

Almost eight percent of your time will be allotted for encouraging customers or subscribers. In the case of an internet business, you have to attract a lot of traffic to your site otherwise, your business will fail.

The second is to be a risk taker. Most entrepreneurs are not afraid to take risks. This does not mean that entrepreneurs enter the market with their eyes closed hoping for success. Entrepreneurs are willing to take risks especially if after a careful study they can see high chances of success.

Not many individuals are willing to take risks because they are afraid to fail. But you see, an entrepreneur learns a lot from past failures. It's all part of life and so you should not be scared.

The third one is to be organized and you should know how to deal with different kinds of people. If you can build good will and you can win the trust of your customers and subscribers, your business will surely succeed.

If you have these qualities, then you're on your way to becoming a successful entrepreneur. You can choose between online internet businesses or you can start by putting up a business in your local area. If you choose the second option, you would have to study your local market and make sure that there is a need for your business.

If after awhile you feel that it is time to expand, you may do so because you will earn more profit from it. The first option is often the most chosen at this point in time because there are many opportunities waiting for entrepreneurs online. Choose now.

With the needed abilities to play soccer well developed, Ronaldo continued advancing and in until 2001 he united to Sporting Lisboa, one of the most important teams on Portugal’s First Division, where with the support of his partners and the coaching and medical staff achieved to sharp his style and raise his game level. Thanks to the work done on his career, Cristiano Ronaldo, gets his official debut on October 2001 as a professional footballer at the Portugal’ Superliga with 17 years old. His impressive plays made him shine to convert himself in a regular player on the field for Sporting that on the same year won the league championship.

For 2003, the talent of the #7 ‘Red Devil’ was already being seen out of the borders of Portugal, an evidence of it was the great impression it cause on Manchester United at a friendly encounter for the Euro Cup. After calling the attention of Sir Alex Ferguson, he immediately started the negotiations with the Portuguese star, to include him in the British team. Ronaldo started with Manchester replacing David Beckham, who at the time transferred to Real Madrid.

Another success on 2005 was scoring the 1000 goal for the Manchester United on the Premier League.Besides owning a big load of personal distinctions at an international level, this Red Devil has as well several achievements at a team level that United has attain thanks to Ronaldo’s assistance; this important titles include Carling Cup, Community Shield, FA Premier League and the last UEFA Champions League edition.As member of Portugal’s national team (with which debuted on 2003), the young man of 23 years old has also demonstrated to be an important figure for, after Euro 2004 in which Portugal ended up as runner-up.

Oscar De La Hoya - From Glory to Failure

2008-12-15T00:50:00.001+07:00

Oscar De La Hoya became famous since his early years in boxing, his big debut as a professional boxer came along in Barcelona’s 1992 Olympic Games, where attained the gold medal, triumph that send him to fame and opened all doors to a full of successes career that turned him into one of the best boxers of the 90s.

Great abilities, clean technique, talent and a good punch are the characteristics that can describe the beginnings of Oscar’s career, who found his first main triumph before Julio César Chávez, one of the best Mexican wrestlers at the moment. The spectacular victory placed the Golden Boy confidently among the middle weights, converting him in the third boxer (of 4 total) to obtain the record of sextuple world champion in different categories; previous De La Hoya were Thomas Hearns and Héctor Camacho, and subsequent James Toney.

In September 1999, after 31 consecutive victories a big test for Oscar De La Hoya developed, having to confront Tito Trinidad, who had as well an unbeaten record. The tough wrestle in which none of the fighters gave up, prolonged until the 12th round and following the decision taken by the judges, the Mexican-American boxer suffered his first defeat. From then on, the professional live of one of the best ones ever, would start to have ups and downs.

The desire of becoming the ultimate fighter in middleweight leads the Golden Boy to seek for revenge for the beaten he got 3 years earlier (2000), by Shane Mosley, who ended up overcoming the Hispanic strikes and to pound him for the second time.

Since his last encounter with ‘Sugar’ Mosley in 2003 and until today, the results of his fights have finished alternately on glories and failures. The conquers were obtained facing Felix Sturm, Ricardo Mayorga and Steve Forges; while the defeats were against Bernard Hopkins to whom he lost the chance to win the titles to be King of the Middleweight in 2004; then after Floyd Mayweather Jr and in his last clash on December 6th, 2008 against the Filipino Manny Pacquiao, WBC Lightweight Champion, whom due to his lower height and weight, was seen as the possible loser.

Pacquiao controlled the combat most of the time with excellent moves and powerful hits, punishing stoutly his rival, who doesn’t show a promising future.

In the last 4 years the Golden Boy has announced twice his retirement from the boxing world. The first time was subsequently to the thrashing he got from “The Executer” Hopkins and frustration kept him out for almost 2 whole years; the second time was in 2007, but on that occasion the break didn’t last long time for De La Hoya, staying off the ring just a year

Currently the rumors say that the 35 years old boxer will withdraw, at least the professional fights, especially after accepting that his physical condition is not as good as it used to, which was pretty obvious during the competition with Manny ‘Goliath’ Pacquiao. For the moment all left is to wait for the public announcement, which is what everybody is expecting from this boxer titan of our times.

Natural Skincare Products are Better for Your Skin

2008-12-15T00:42:00.002+07:00

When looking for a skin care cream, many consumers are turning to natural skincare products to reduce the lines and wrinkles on their skin. This is all part of the entire ‘green’ shift going on in the world today. No longer do people want to apply drugs or synthetic products to their skin.

Natural skincare products are obviously much better for your skin. However, just because a product claims to contain natural ingredients does not mean that it is a good product. There are cosmetic companies that will do anything just to sell their inferior product. Even claiming that it is the best natural skincare cream available! Now science is not a bad thing either. Science can come up with a way to combine natural ingredients without the use of chemicals.

It is important to avoid products that contain fragrances or parabens. These are harmful to your skin and should not be applied to your skin at all. Keep this in mind; whatever you apply to your skin could be absorbed directly into your bloodstream.

Some small skin care companies around the world are doing some amazing research and development with natural substances for their natural skincare products. This is exactly what you want; a product that contains natural ingredients that actually work at reducing the lines and wrinkles on your skin.

One of these natural substances is phytessence wakame. It is derived from a type of Japanese sea kelp. In fact, the Japanese even use it in their diet. Some of the benefits to the skin include the reduction of lines and wrinkles. It acts as an antioxidant as well, which means it reverses the skin cell damage caused by free radicals.

Another natural substance that is found in the best natural skincare products in the world is Cynergy TK.

On my website, I have more information available on natural ingredients used in natural skincare products that actually work.

Women and Money

2008-12-15T00:37:00.003+07:00

Are men or women better at investing?

“This is not only a fun question but it is of great practical value,” says INSEAD Assistant Professor of Finance Lily Fang, who hosted a Women and Money forum at INSEAD recently.

Some studies suggest that women are better investors than men. Dig a little deeper and the picture isn’t so clear.

What is clear is that too few women take an active role in investing their savings. Since women on average live longer and have lower life-time income than men, it’s important that they learn more about investing, Fang says.

In a large number of academic studies of investment gains, men and women actually come out about the same on a net basis. Women do better in the end because they trade less frequently, so they don’t run up expensive trading costs.

“(Men) take higher risks and higher risk is rewarded with higher returns, but after you take out the transaction costs … men are slightly worse than women,” she says.

In fact, Fang says both men and women tend to under-perform the major market indexes when they trade as individuals. “The more you trade, the more you lose out against a passive index, so compared to men, women might lose out a little less,” she says. Surprisingly, men trade almost 50 per cent more than women.

The statistics are the same if you compare women and men who are professional traders, but the sample size of women professional traders is so small that Fang is reluctant to draw conclusions.

She’s much more confident about the obvious conclusion: “The evidence should give women the confidence that they are perfectly capable of taking advantage of their financial well-being and we need to get that message out there so that people can start doing the planning and then it’s a matter of educating yourself,” says Fang.

Unfortunately, the bad news is that the bigger picture indicates that 80 per cent of women actually don’t actively engage in a financial plan.

Long-term financial planning is a particularly important issue for women, Fang says, because people are living longer and women have longer life expectancy than men, often by 10 years or more, and in old age women tend to be afflicted with long-term illnesses such as osteoporosis and arthritis.

“If you don’t have a financial plan in place that you started thinking ahead of time, once you get (older), a lot of people are quite shocked” by their financial status, she says.

Women should know that it’s never too early to start planning. Fang says women should start saving and investing when they land their first job.

Women shouldn’t fight their instincts. Fang lists some important attributes that women employ when investing their money:

They trade less frequently to keep costs down
They tend to hold more diversified portfolios than men
They're more ready than men to acknowledge that they need to find resources
They tend to have a longer-term perspective when investing
They tend to seek personal financial advice, instead of relying on adverts and advice found on the internet

These attributes should serve investors well. But as a lot of women are busy with careers and family, some don’t want to think about their long-term financial future and tend to leave financial planning to their husbands, Fang says.

Fang believes it’s very important for the family, both the man and the woman, to come up with a financial plan together and to invest together. Research evidence shows that as a partnership, men and women together make better decisions. Now it’s up to women to take greater control.

How to Find and Hire the Right Employee?

2008-12-14T23:53:00.004+07:00

Putting an ad in the paper and hiring an applicant based solely on resume credentials is a guaranteed formula for failure. Here are some useful tips for finding and hiring the perfect person for your job.

Just a few decades ago the process of finding and hiring the right employee for the right job was, surprisingly, easier than it is today. Back then, an employer would put an ad in the paper or contract with an employment agency; resumes would be reviewed, several candidates would be interviewed, and an offer was made. But today with the Internet, a steadily burgeoning population, and a global economy with hundreds more job categories than ever before, navigating the employment minefield for both job applicants and employers can be a tricky business.

Before simply making an offer to the person with the most impressive resume, it is very important for managers to take the time to search for the best employee because some industries are plagued by high turnover for various reasons. Employers should carefully screen candidates to be sure they are going to be happy with the duties, responsibilities, work environment, and advancement opportunities (or lack thereof). A satisfied employee will be more likely to stay in a job longer. And the ability to minimize turnover will keep an organization running smoothly and efficiently. It is more beneficial to have a candidate with a good attitude and a willingness to learn than a skilled but unmotivated one.

The strongest strategy for regularly attracting and retaining quality employees is to implement a thorough recruiting and behavioral-based hiring process to ensure you are selecting the best candidates for the job. Develop a recruitment plan and then track all results so you can clearly evaluate the cost per candidate, per recruitment process. Document the sources that bring applicants to you, so you will know where to invest recruitment funds and where to network to attract the most diverse set of candidates.

As you begin evaluating applicants, use a variety of established pre-hiring assessment tools to determine their knowledge, skills, and abilities. For example, employment agencies usually conduct a brief telephone interview, a behavioral assessment, hard and soft skills testing, and finally a behavioral interview. While screening an applicant, use standard questions and consistent scoring methods to keep the results objective and measurable so applicants’ qualifications and results can be compared easily.

It is important to select candidates who exhibit predefined behavioral traits appropriate for your organization and are comfortable working in the environment or your organization. Study the traits of your current top performers and determine what makes them fit well with your organization. While there is no one specific formula that defines the "perfect employee," certain key behaviors will serve as a guide to finding a diverse pool of candidates with similar traits:

- Works well under time pressure.
- Able to handle emotionally stressful situations.
- Can be adaptable/flexible.
- Internally motivated to achieve goals.
- Able to perform well when engaging in repetitive tasks.

In addition to focusing on hard skills such as data entry and listening skills, assess cognitive abilities such as multitasking, problem solving, and attention to detail. Personal characteristics such as conscientiousness, honesty, integrity, and emotional maturity help determine whether a candidate is a reliable and focused worker.

If you feel that a candidate is the right person for your job, be sure to hire quickly. Statistics show that a temporary worker is usually on the market for only about five days before they have found employment. Hiring and retaining quality employees will have a positive impact on all aspects of an organization, including customer satisfaction and. Selecting the right people and managing them well can not only reduce turnover and increase retention, it can also help a company harvest its next generation of executives.

5 Superfoods for Weight Loss

2008-12-04T00:00:00.002+07:00

Studies have shown half a grapefruit before a meal promotes weight loss.

Some foods make it really difficult to lose weight. They create their own self-sustaining cravings ("Betcha can't eat just one!") and play havoc with your blood sugar and, ultimately, your waistline. But other foods do just the opposite. You might have heard that broccoli and blueberries can help you shed pounds. Well, here are some other tasty options that will fuel you up and generate weight loss. Make these foods a part of your daily diet and watch the pounds come slipping off.

1) Grapefruit:

Ever tried the grapefruit diet? Turns out there may be some good research to back up grapefruit's reputation as a fat fighter. In a recent study at the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, California, researchers studied the effect of grapefruit on weight loss and found that eating half a grapefruit before a meal can actually help people drop weight. The researchers studied the effect of grapefruit capsules, grapefruit juice and real grapefruit. All three seemed to help, but the folks eating the real grapefruit got the best results. The mechanism isn't completely understood, but the results speak for themselves. As an added benefit, grapefruit contains cancer-fighting compounds like liminoids and lycopene, and red grapefruit has been shown to help lower triglycerides. And half a grapefruit has only 39 calories.

2) Sardines:

Sardines might just be one of the greatest health bargains of all time, and they're a boon to anyone wanting to lose weight. First of all, sardines are loaded with protein, which helps stabilize blood sugar, makes you feel full and helps stimulate metabolism. Second, they're a great source of omega-3s, which not only strengthen the cardiovascular system but also are helpful in boosting mood. (And when you're in a good mood, you tend to crave less junk food!) Third, sardines are convenient, easy to find and cheap. And because they're very low on the food chain, they're remarkably free of contaminants.

3) Pumpkin:

You may know this vegetable for its central role in Thanksgiving celebrations, but it's also one of the greatest weight-loss foods ever. Plain old canned pumpkin is absolutely loaded with fiber and has a mere 40 calories. Dozens of studies confirm that high fiber intake is associated with a host of health benefits, including weight management. Pumpkin is also the easiest food in the world to prepare. You can sweeten it with brown sugar, sprinkle it with blood-sugar-lowering cinnamon and nutmeg for good measure, throw in some healthy almonds and make it one of the best tasting weight-loss treats around. It's filling and delicious.

4) Grass-Fed Beef:

I'll be honest with you: Meat is a great diet food... that is, if it doesn't contain antibiotics, steroids and hormones. Eat grass-fed beef and avoid the health concerns that go along with eating meat while getting all the terrific benefits. Buffalo burgers are a good alternative if you can't find grass-fed beef. High-protein diets are associated with weight loss for a variety of reasons: Protein stimulates metabolism, helps you feel full longer and helps decrease the desire to overeat. Grass-fed beef has a high omega-3 content, giving you multiple health benefits into the bargain.

5) Green Tea:

This natural weight-loss stimulant might not be a food, but green tea is still a great slimming solution, not to mention that it's rich in antioxidants, promotes heart health, aids digestion and regulates blood sugar and body temperature. It raises the metabolic rate and speeds up fat oxidation, thus helping people lose weight. Drink it daily to boost your metabolism. Some research has shown that five cups a day is the magic number for fat loss. As an added benefit, the theanine in green tea is also a great natural de-stressor
