12. LOVE CRUCIFIED AROSE Scribbling in the Sand: The Best of Michael Card (2002) Long ago He blessed the earth Born older than the years And in the stall a cross He saw Through the first of many tears A life of homeless wandering Cast out in sorrow's way The Shepherd seeking for the lost His life, the price He paid Love crucified, arose The Risen One in splendor Jehovah soul Defender Has won the victory Love crucified, arose And the grave became a place of hope For the heart that sin and sorrow broke Is beating once again Throughout Your life You felt the weight Of what You'd come to give To drink for us that crimson cup So we might really live At last the time to love and die The dark appointed day That one forsaken moment When Your Father turned His face away Love crucified, arose The One who lived the died for me Was Satan's nail-pierced casualty Now He's breathing once again Love crucified, arose And the grave became a place of hope For the heart that sin and sorrow broke Is beating once again Love crucified, arose The Risen One in splendor Jehovah soul defender Has won the victory Love crucified, arose And the grave became a place of hope for the heart that sin and sorrow broke is beating once again Love crucified, arose The One who lived and died for me Was Satan's nail-pierced casualty Now He's breathing once again. + Informações

08. WHY Scribbling in the Sand: The Best of Michael Card (2002) Why did it have to be a friend Who chose to betray the Lord Why did he use a kiss to show them That's not what a kiss is for Only a friend can betray a friend A stranger has nothing to gain And only a friend comes close enough To ever cause so much pain And why did there have to be thorny Crown pressed upon His head It should have been the royal one Made of jewels and gold instead It had to be a crown of thorns Because in this life that we live For all who seek to love A thorn is all the world has to give And why did it have to be A heavy cross He was made to bare And why did they nail His feet and hands His love would have held Him there It was a cross for on a cross A thief was supposed to pay And Jesus had come into the world To steal every heart away Yes, Jesus had come into the world To steal every heart away. + Informações

Another incredible song by Michael Card. As is typical, perfect word choices combine with great vocals for memorable mental images. From the first time I heard this song,the line "Simeon takes the boy and starts to sing..." has made me continually reflect back to the mindset of Simeon, and the utter joy that he must have felt overflowing within him. Of all the things this old man could have done at that moment...shout, laugh, cry, smile, clap, pray...Michael Card says he began to SING.....perfect!! Amazing imagery. I don't know if this song was inteneded to be written with a "Messianic" overtone to it or not, and I am sorry if any find it offensive, but maybe it will cause someone to dig a little deeper, and mainstream Jews and Christians will wake up and put aside their dogmatic traditions, and begin to listen to the unbiased Word of God and realize that there is a common thread that binds and unites us (See Hebrews 1-13). This was my second video, second music montage, and 1st time using Vegas 7.0. Pinnacle is out the window as it is too limiting, and I will continue learning with Vegas. I hope you enjoy the video, and find the same inspiration from the song as I did.. + Informações

10. GOD'S OWN FOOL Scribbling in the Sand: The Best of Michael Card (2002) Seems I've imagined Him all of my life As the wisest of all of mankind But if God's Holy wisdom is foolish to men He must have seemed out of His mind For even His family said He was mad And the priests said a demon's to blame But God in the form of this angry young man Could not have seemed perfectly sane Chorus When we in our foolishness thought we were wise He played the fool and He opened our eyes When we in our weakness believed we were strong He became helpless to show we were wrong And so we follow God's own fool For only the foolish can tell- Believe the unbelievable And come be a fool as well So come lose your life for a carpenter's son For a madman who died for a dream And you'll have the faith His first followers had And you'll feel the weight of the beam So surrender the hunger to say you must know Have the courage to say I believe For the power of paradox opens your eyes And blinds those who say they can see Chorus So we follow God's own Fool For only the foolish can tell Believe the unbelievable, And come be a fool as well. + Informações

15. JOY IN THE JOURNEY Scribbling in the Sand: The Best of Michael Card (2002) There is a joy in the journey There's a light we can love on the way There is a wonder and wildness to life And freedom for those who obey And all those who seek it shall find it A pardon for all who believe Hope for the hopeless and sight for the blind To all who've been born in the Spirit And who share incarnation with Him Who belong to eternity stranded in time And weary of struggling with sin Forget not the hope that's before you And never stop counting the cost Remember the hopelessness when you were lost There is a joy in the journey There's a light we can love on the way There is a wonder and wildness to life And freedom for those who obey And freedom for those who obey.... + Informações

17. SCRIBBLING IN THE SAND Scribbling in the Sand: The Best of Michael Card (2002) Amidst a mob of madmen She stood frightened and alone As hate filled voices hissed at him That she should now be stoned But in the air around him Hung a vast and wordless love Who knows what loom at his lesson He was in the middle of At first he faced the fury Of their self righteous scorn But then he stooped and at once became The calm eye of the storm It was his wordless answer To their dark and cruel demand The lifetime in a moment As he scribbled in the sand It was silence it was music It was art it was absurd He stooped and shouted volumes Without saying a single word The same finger Of the strong hand That had written ten commands For now was simply scribbling in the sand Within the space of space and time He scribbled in the sand They cam e to hear and see as much As they could understand Now bound by cords of kindness They couldn't cast a single stone And Jesus and the women found that they were all alone It was silence it was music It was art it was absurd He stooped and shouted volumes Without saying a single word The same finger Of the strong hand That had written ten commands For now was simply scribbling in the sand Could that same finger come And trace my souls sacred sand And make some unexpected space Where I could understand That my own condemnation pierced And broke that gentle hand That scratched the words I'll never know Written in the sand It was silence it was music It .... + Informações

11. THINGS WE LEAVE BEHIND Scribbling in the Sand: The Best of Michael Card (2002) There sits Simon, so foolishly wise proudly he's tending his nets Then Jesus calls, and the boats drift away all that he owns he forgets More than the nets he abandoned that day, he found that his pride was soon drifting away It's hard to imagine the freedom we find from the things we leave behind Matthew was mindful of taking the tax, pressing the people to pay Hearing the call, he responded in faith followed the Light and the Way Leaving the people so puzzled he found, the greed in his heart was no longer around and it's hard to imagine the freedom we find from the things we leave behind Every heart needs to be set free, from posessions that hold it so tight 'Cause freedom's not found in the things that we own, It's the power to do what is right Jesus, our only posession, giving becomes our delight We can't imagine the freedom we find from the things we leave behind We show a love for the world in our lives by worshipping goods we posess Jesus has laid all our treasures aside "love God above all the rest" 'Cause when we say 'no' to the things of the world we open our hearts to the love of the Lord and its hard to imagine the freedom we find from the things we leave behind Oh, and it's hard to imagine the freedom we find from the things we leave behind. + Informações

John 8: 2-11 Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?" This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" 11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."

THE WEDDING by Michael Card John 2:1-11 & John 3:28-29 Chorus Lord of light, oh, come to this wedding Take the doubt and darkness away Turn the water of lifeless living To the wine of gladness we pray Mother Mary's gently requesting That you might do whatever you can Though she may be impatient she loves you And so she asks what she can't understand Chorus So amidst the laughter and feasting There sits Jesus full with the fun He has made them wine because He is longing For a wedding that's yet to come Chorus. + Informações

The Nazarene lyrics The Nazarene came down To live the life of every man And He felt the fascination of the stars And as He wandered through this weary world He wondered and He wept For there were so few who'd listen to his call (chorus) He came, He saw, He surrendered all So that we might be born again And the fact of His humanity Was there for all to see For He was unlike any other man And yet so much like me The Nazarene could hunger And the Nazarene could cry And He could laugh With all the fullness of his heart And those who hardly knew Him And those who knew Him well Could feel the contradiction from the start. + Informações
