He was standing in the rubble of an old farmhouse outside Birmingham
When some on the scene reporter stuck a camera in the face of that old man
He said "tell the folks please mister, what are you gonna do
Now that this twister has taken all that's dear to you"
The old man just smiled and said "boy let me tell you something, this ain't nothing"
He said I lost my daddy, when I was eight years old,
That cave-in at the Kincaid mine left a big old hole,
And I lost my baby brother, my best friend and my left hand
In a no win situation in a place called Vietnam
And last year I watched my loving wife, of fifty years waste away and die
And I held her hand til her heart of gold stopped pumping,
So this ain't nothin'
He said I learned at an early age,
There's things that matter and there's things that don't
So if you're waiting here for me to cry,
I hate to disappoint you boy, but I won't
Then he reached down in the rubble and picked up a photograph
Wiped the dirt off of it with the hand that he still had
He put it to his lips and said man she was something
But this ain't nothin'
He said I lost my daddy, when I was eight years old,
That cave-in at the Kincaid mine left a big old hole,
And I lost my baby brother, my best friend and my left hand
In a no win situation in a place called Vietnam
And last year I watched my loving wife, of fifty years waste away and die
We were holding hands when her heart of gold stopped pumping
So this ain't nothin'
This ain't nothin' time won't erase
And this ain't nothin' money can't replace
He said you sit and watch your loving wife fifty years fighting for her life
Then you hold her hand til her heart of gold stops pumping
Yeah boy that's something,
So this ain't nothin'
No this ain't nothin'

Pray
I just cant sleep tonight.
Knowing that things aint right.
Its in the papers, its on the tv, its everywhere that I go.
Children are crying.
Soldiers are dying
Some people don't have a home
But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey
Can you tell me how I can make a change
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I lose my appetite, knowing kids starve tonight.
Am I a sinner, cause of my dinner still there on my plate?
I got a vision, to make a difference.
And its starting today.
Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey
Heaven tell me I can make a change
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
For the broken-hearted.
I pray for the life not started
I pray for all the ones not breathing.
I pray for all the souls in need.
I pray. Can you give em one today.
I just cant sleep tonight
Can someone tell how to make a change?
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and I pray
I pray ..
I close my eyes and pray ..

Good Luck
(Verse 1)
look up to the sky 'cause the sky is the limit people can't tell you
you can't be a star when they tell you you can't
just say
(Chorus)
this is who I am and this is who i wanna be
(repeat)
if you wanna try and stop me good luck with that
good luck with that
(Verse 2)
Some people dream some don't believe
in the power dreaming can do but, those who
believe come and sing this song with me.
(Chorus )
Bridge :
Dreaming is a hope
Dreaming is a wonder
Dreaming is a thought turned into reality
(Chorus)
this is who I am and this is who i wanna be
(repeat)
if you wanna try and stop me good luck with that
good luck with that

Someone Worth Dying For By: Mikeschair
Someone Worth Dying For lyrics
[Verse 1]
You might be
the wife, waiting up at night
You might be the man, struggling to
provide
feeling like it's hopeless
Maybe you're the son who chose a broken
road
Maybe you're the girl thinking you'll end up alone
Praying God can
you hear me?
Oh, God are you listening?
[Chorus]
Am I more than
flesh and bone?
Am I really something beautiful?
Yeah, I want to believe,
I want to believe that
I'm not just some wandering soul
That you don't see
and you don't know
Yeah, I want to believe, Jesus help me believe
That I
am someone worth dying for
[Verse 2]
I know you've heard the truth
that God has set you free
But you think you're the one that grace could never
reach
[From:
http://www.elyrics.net/read/m/mikeschair-lyrics/someone-worth-dying-for-lyrics.html]
So
you just keep asking, Oh, what everybody's asking
[Repeat
Chorus]
[Bridge]
You're worth it, you can't earn it
Yeah, the
cross has proven,
That you're sacred and blameless.
Your life has
purpose!
You are more than flesh and bone
Can't you see your
something beautiful
Yeah, you gotta believe, you gotta believe
He wants
you to see, He wants you to see that
You're not just some wandering
soul
That can't be seen and can't be known
You gotta believe, you gotta
believe
That you are someone worth dying for
You're someone worth
dying for
Someone worth dying for

You Are More By : Tenth Avenue North
You Are More lyrics
There's a girl in the
corner
With tear stains on her eyes
From the places she's wandered
And
the shame she can't hide
She says, "How did I get here?
I'm not who I
once was.
And I'm crippled by the fear
That I've fallen too far to
love"
But don't you know who you are,
What's been done for
you?
Yeah don't you know who you are?
You are more than the choices
that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You
are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.
Well she
tries to believe it
That she's been given new life
But she can't shake the
feeling
That it's not true tonight
She knows all the answers
And
she's rehearsed all the lines
And so she'll try to do better
But then
she's too weak to try
But don't you know who you are?
You are more
than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your
past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
[From:
http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/tenth-avenue-north-lyrics/you-are-more-lyrics.html]
You've
been remade.
You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are
more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you
create,
You've been remade.
'Cause this is not about what you've
done,
But what's been done for you.
This is not about where you've been,
But where your brokenness brings you to
This is not about what you
feel,
But what He felt to forgive you,
And what He felt to make you
loved.
You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more
than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you
create,
You've been remade.
You are more than the choices that
you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are
more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.
You've been
remade
You've been remade.
You've been remade.
You've been remade.

Backround by: Lacrae Rehab
"Background"(feat. C-Lite)
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
[Verse 1:]
It's evident you run the show, so let me back down
You take the leading role, and I'll play the background
I know I miss my cues, know I forget my lines
I'm sticking to your script, and I'm reading all your signs
I don't need my name in lights, I don't need a starring role
Why gain the whole wide world, If I'm just going lose my soul
And my ways ain't purified, don't live according to Your Word
I can't endure this life without Your wisdom being heard
So word to every dance, a foe, a pop star
'Cause we all play the background, but mine's a rockstar
Yeah, so if you need me I'll be stage right
Praying the whole world will start embracing stage fright
So let me fall back, stop giving my suggestions
'Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessing
That I'm not that impressive, matter of fact
I'm who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar
[Chorus:]
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
[Verse 2:]
I had a dream that I was captain of my soul
I was master of my fate, lost control. and then I sank
So I don't want to take the lead, 'cause I'm prone to make mistakes
All the folks who follow me, going end up in the wrong place
So let me just shadow you, let me trace your lines
Matter of fact, just take my pen, here, you create my rhymes
'Cause if I do this by myself, I'm scared that I'll succeed
And no longer trust in you, 'cause I only trust in me
And see, that's how you end up headed to destruction
Paving a road to nowhere, pour your life out for nothing
You pulled my card, I'm bluffing, You know what's in my hand
Me, I'm just going to trust you, You cause the dice to land
I'm in control of nothing, follow you at any cost
Some call it sovereign will, all I know is you the boss
Man, I'm so at ease, I'm so content
I'll play the background, like it's an instrument
[Chorus:]
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
[Bridge:]
I know I'm safest when I'm in Your will, and trust Your Word
I know I'm dangerous when I trust myself, my vision blurred
And I ain't got no time to play life's foolish games
Got plenty aims, but do they really Glorify Your name
And it's a shame, the way I want to do these things for You
Don't even cling to you, take time to sit and gleam from You
Seems You were patient in my ignorance
If ignorance is bliss, it's 'cause she never heard of this
[Chorus:]
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
[Chorus:]
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead.

If someone asked you if you died that day would you go to heaven what would be your answer. Or if Jesus came home that same day would you go to heaven with Him, what would be your answer yes or no?

A New Baby sister
One day there was the Shelby family and they were deciding what to name a new baby sister they were going to adopt. Then they started saying ideas. The littlest said We should name her Ella Enchanted." ( that was her favorite movie). Evie's mom said " How 'bout we name her Ella."
Well Evie and one of her older sisters were peaking around in their parents nursery they would put the new baby in they saw presents of they're favorite toy Littlest Pet Shop. The Girls wondered who was it for no one knew except they're parents.The girls wanted to know so bad.
At the airport Mom and Dad and the oldest Emma were leaving. Mom said " I have a present for all of you guys." Mom showed the girls the Littlest Pet Shop toys they saw in the nursery! the girls were so excited to see the presents they wanted so bad they got.
Well Mom and Dad and Emma went to China for fourteen days and everyone missed them. The other kids stayed at their grandparents houses, the family skyped (skype is a video chat kinda thing). Everyone missed each other and one person is missing in this picture there is a boy in the Shelby family his name is Eli he was the oldest while Emma was away.
At first the baby was shy and she finally warmed up to the family . She was such a sily girl and as she grew up she still was a silly girl.
Ella playing at her new home

Paper Heart by: Francessca Battistelli
This is about how God loves us so much
Well I’ve been treated like a valentine
That’s been ripped apart and left behind
I’m a fragile girl
In a crazy careless world
My dreams were torn and scattered on the floor
But You’ve been picking up the pieces, Lord
‘Cause Your love is real
The only hope to heal
(Chorus)
My paper heart is Yours now
I have landed in Your hands
Come so far to find out
My life will never be the same
Since you wrote Your name
On my paper heart
I had been so terrified to trust
So many times I’d been reduced to dust
But You keep showing me
You’re the safest place to be
(Chorus)
Never knew that I could feel the way I feel
Never knew that there could be a love so real
Never knew that I could feel the way I feel right now

Big House by: Audio Adrenaline
or where you call your home
I don't know where you eat your meals
or where you talk on the phone
I don't know if you got a cook
a butler or a maid
I don't know if you got a yard
with a hammock in the shade
I don't know if you got some shelter
say a place to hide
I don't know if you live with friends
in whom you can confide
I don't know if you got a family
say a mom or dad
I don't know if you feel love at all
but I bet you wish you had
Come and go with me
to my Fathers house
Come and go with me
to my Fathers house
It's a big big house
with lots and lots a room
A big big table
with lots and lots of food
A big big yard
where we can play football (touch down)
A big big house
Its my Fathers house
All I know is a big ole house
with rooms for everyone
All I know is lots a land
where we can play and run
All I know is you need love
and I've got a family
All I know is your all alone
so why not come with me?
