You Found Me

"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."

Luke 15:4-7


"Lost and insecure, You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor, Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, You found me, you found me"

Sober

"The Lord reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me."

Psalm 18:16-19


"Aahh, the sun is blinding
I stayed up again
Oohh, I am finding
That's not the way I want my story to end

Aahh, the night is calling
And it whispers to me softly, 'come and play'
Oohh, I am falling
And if I let myself go, I'm the only one to blame

When it's good, then it's good, it's so good, 'till it goes bad
Till you're trying to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry
Never again, Broken down in agony
And just trying to find a friend

I'm safe, Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain, Inside
You're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?"

Dead and Gone

No more stray, now I'm straight, now I get it, now I take
Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my family’s sake
That part of me left yesterday the heart of me is strong today
No regrets im blessed to say the old me dead and gone away.

I turn my head to the east… I don’t see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the west… still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call pride
The old me is dead and gone, the new me will be alright

Oh, I've been travelin' on this road too long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone… dead and gone

TI, Dead and Gone


Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!" Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

Jesus, John 3:3-9

Gaza

"Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed—and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors—and they have no comforter. And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is he who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun."
(Ecclesiastes 4:1-3)

If I Were a Boy?

Beyonce:

"If I were a boy, I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl, I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her, Cause I know how it hurts,
When you lose the one you wanted,
Cause he’s taken you for granted,
And everything you had got destroyed."

Paul of Tarsus:

"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." (Ephesians 5:25)

Effective Outreach :-)

"Then Jesus came to his disciples and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.'" (Matthew 28:16-20)

I don't think this is what he had in mind:
