Music Monday: The Marriage Prayer

Leave a comment
I haven’t heard any music from John Waller in quite some time, but just now I did some googling and came across this rather sweet song, a duit with Josee Waller. It’s called “The Marriage Prayer”:

Father, I said till death do us part
I want to mean it with all of my heart
Help me to love You more than I love her
Then I know I can love her more than anyone else

And bring her in Your presence today
Make her what You want her to be

I pray to hear her heart
I pray she’ll love You more
I pray to cherish and serve her
And we’ll bring You glory today, I pray
I pray

Father, I said till death do us part
I want to mean it with all of my heart
Help me to love You more than I love him
Then I know I can love him more than anyone else

And bring him in Your presence today
Make him what You want him to be

I pray to hear his heart
I pray he’ll love You more
I pray to strengthen and serve him
We’ll bring You glory today, I pray

Lord, help me love her
As You love the church, Your bride
Help me submit to him
As I submit to You, my life

I pray to hear her heart
I pray he’ll love You more
I pray to cherish and serve her
We’ll bring You glory today, today

I pray to hear her heart
I pray she’ll love You more
I pray to cherish and serve her
We’ll bring You glory today
I pray, I pray

This is my prayer
Amen

Music Monday: The Blessing

Leave a comment

Today’s song is the title track from the superb debut album from John Waller, “The Blessing”. If you listen carefully, you might be able to identify the other well-known Christian singer joining him on this song…

Let it be said of us…while we walked among the living
Let it be said of us…by the ones we leave behind
Let it be said of us…that we lived to be a blessing for life

Let it be said of us…that we gave to reach the dying
Let it be said of us…by the fruit we leave behind
Let it be said of us…that our legacy is blessing for life

This day you set life, you set death right before us,
This day every blessing and curse is a choice now
And we will choose to be a blessing for life

Let it be said of us…that our hearts belonged to Jesus
Let it be said of us…that we spoke the words of life
Let it be said of us…that our heritage is blessing for life

For your Kingdom, for our Children
For the sake of every nation

Music Monday: Still calls me son

Leave a comment

Here is “Still calls me son” by John Waller:

VERSE 1
I drug his name through godless places
And I’ve known shame that no child of his should know
I’ve seen pain on broken faces
Beyond all thought of hope
I was just too far from home
Still I always wondered when I closed my eyes

CHORUS
After all I’ve done
Could he run to me?
Would he kiss my face?
Could he even look at me?
After where I’ve been
should he take me back?
I would understand
I’ve disgraced him
But it would be amazing
If he still calls me son

VERSE 2
With nothing left for me to bring him
I left my pride and turned my heart toward home
I saw my home on the horizon
And from a distance
I saw my Father
Watching for his own with forgiving eyes

BRIDGE
One day as I breathe my last
And I know my days on earth have ended
When every hour is spent
I will close my eyes in amazement
And I’ll hear angels
They’ll be singing Amazing Grace

Cause he will run to me
And he will kiss my face
He will not let go of me
After where I’ve been
He will welcome me
I won’t understand
How he’ll put his robe on me
It will be amazing
That he’ll still call me son

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
When he calls me son
I once was lost but now I’m found
Cause he calls me Son

Music Monday: Worship while I’m waiting…

Leave a comment

I think you could say that this song has been the soundtrack for a significant portions of my life…

I’m waiting, I’m waiting on You Lord
And I am hopeful, I’m waiting on You Lord
Though it is painful, but patiently I will wait

And I will move ahead bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I’m waiting I will serve You
While I’m waiting I will worship
While I’m waiting I will not faint
I’ll be running the race even while I wait

I’m waiting, I’m waiting on You Lord
And I am peaceful, I’m waiting on You Lord
Though it’s not easy no, but faithfully I will wait
Yes, I will wait

Music Monday: Our God Reigns Here

Leave a comment

I thought today’s Music Monday should be an upbeat number from John Waller, “Our God Reigns Here”…

Spirit of doubt you have no place here
I command you to leave in Jesus’ name
Spirit of fear you have no place here
I command you to leave in Jesus’ name
You’re not welcome here so go, just go

Spirit of doubt you have no place here
I command you to leave in Jesus’ name
Envy and jealousy you have no place here
I command you to leave in Jesus’ name
Go back from whence you came

‘Cause our God reigns here, our God reigns here
We claim this ground in Jesus’ name
‘Cause our God reigns x2

Anger and rage, guilt and shame
I command you to leave in Jesus’ name
Depression, anxiety, addiction, infirmity
I command you to leave in Jesus’ name
Oh, go back from whence you came

Our God reigns here, our God reigns here
The battle’s won, have no fear
The battle’s won, have no fear
The battle’s won, have no fear
‘Cause God reigns here
