Video:Toby Mac Hold On – Live Louisville KY 2010

Toby Mac Hold On – Rocked KY December 4, 2010. This show was a blast.

Wake up to the morning light
wipe away the lonely nights
let a brand new day wash over you,
Wanna see you smile again
show some love to your crazy friends
wipe your tears away
those days are through

If you move just a little bit closer you can put your head on my shoulder
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus:]
So baby hold on
just another day or two
I can see the clouds are
moving faster now
and the sun is breaking through
If you can hold on, to the one that’s holding you
there is nothing that can
stop this crazy love
from breaking through

We’re breaking through
We’re breaking through

Wake up to the morning sun
thank the Lord for the
things He’s done
lift your eyes up to the
hope that’s ever true
Wanna see you smiling girl
you’re a light in this jaded world
wipe away those tears
this one’s for you

Come on, move a little bit closer, you can put your head on my shoulder
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

And the stars are up there
shining for you
oh, the Father does adore you
His love will never change
And you and I
we were born to follow
the hope that will lead us to tomorrow
and no one can take it away

So baby hold on
just another day or two
I can see the clouds are
moving faster now
and the sun is breaking through
If you could hold on
to the one that’s holding you
there is nothing that can stop this crazy, crazy love from breaking [x2]

You see the clouds are
moving faster now
the clouds are moving faster

You see the clouds are
moving faster now
And the sun is breaking through

We’re breaking through

Noah’s Ark Coming to Kentucky

Here is an interesting story about a Noah’s Ark Theme park. The ABC News video title is very negative - Noah’s Ark Tourist Attraction Sparks Debate. The NY Times story (if you can believe it) is much more balanced, In Kentucky Noah’s Ark Theme Park is Planned. KY’s Governor, who happens to be a democrat, supports this plan as a good investment for the state. Others from out of state are trying to make the case that the state should not be funding this amusement park because of it’s religious theme.

If this was a Zappos or Amazon distribution center the Governor would be applauded for bringing 900 new jobs to the state. Because it involves Noah’s Ark its the source of debate.

I can’t wait to visit this this place in 2014!

In Kentucky, Noah’s Ark Theme Park Is Planned

A rendering of a park centered on Noah’s ark, seen below in a 19th-century woodcut, planned for Grant County, Ky. Besides the ark, it would include a Tower of Babel, a first-century village and a journey through the Old Testament.

Facing a rising tide of joblessness, the governor of Kentucky has found one solution: build an ark. Gov. Steven L. Beshear said that he was elected “to create jobs,” not “to debate religion.”

Great Place to Visit in KY – Cumberland Gap National Park

Cumberland Gap National Park, KY

Cumberland Gap Whiterocks

 The “wow” factor: The V-shaped indentation in the Cumberland Mountains is just north of where Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia meet, creating a spectacular valley floor and mountain views above. The pass was a trade route for the earliest Americans, and Daniel Boone led the crew hired to widen the passage for settlers heading to Kentucky and Tennessee in the late 1700s.

Consider in place of: The nearby and much more crowded Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The nine million visitors who pay their respect to the Smokies annually mean serious traffic jams on holiday weekends and during the summer and fall foliage season. Cumberland Gap’s similar charms like Pinnacle Overlook and the Hensley Settlement are visited by a mere fraction of the crowds at GSMNP — about 1.5 million people annually.

Insider tip: Call ahead to sign up for one of the ranger-led tours to Cumberland Gap’s many caves to explore stalagmites and flowstone cascades.

Lyrics: Mighty To Save

Everyone needs compassion,
Love that’s never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.

Everyone needs forgiveness,
The kindness of a Saviour;
The Hope of nations.

Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

So take me as You find me,
All my fears and failures,
Fill my life again.

I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in,
Now I surrender.

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave. (x2)

Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We’re singing for the glory of the risen King…Jesus (x2)

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave. (x2)

Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We’re singing for the glory of the risen King…Jesus. (x4)

Just walked down to the coffee shop.
Had to take a break.
I’d been by her side for eighteen hours straight.

Saw a flower growin’ in the middle of the sidewalk.
Pushin’ up through the con-crete.
Like it was planted right there for me to see.

The flashin’ lights, the honkin’ horns,
All seemed to fade away.
[I Saw God Today lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

In the shadow of that hospital at 5:08
I saw God today.

I’ve been to church, I’ve read the book.
I know He’s here, but I don’t look.
Near as often as I should.
Yea, I know I should.

His finger-prints are every-where.
I just slowed down to stop and stare.
Opened my eyes, and man, I swear.
I saw God today.

Title: Cartoon Song
Chorus:
I was thinkin’ the other day,
“What if cartoons got saved?
They’d start singing praise
In a whole new way…”
Well, I was thinkin’ the other day,
“What if cartoons got saved?
They’d start singing praise
In a whole new way…”

Fred and Wilma Flintstone
Sing “Yabba-dabba-do-yah”
Scooby-doo and Shaggy:
“Scooby-dooby-doo-yah”
And the Jetsons’ dog named Astro:
“Rough-ray-roo-yah”

(repeat chorus)

Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles:
“Cowabunga-loo-yah, Dude!”
Then there’s, “Kermit the Frog here, singing,
High-ho-le-loo-yah”
And that little bald guy, Elmer Fudd:
“How-ay-woo-yah”

(repeat chorus)

Oh that big old moose and his friend Rocky,
“Bullwinkle-loo-yah”
And our favourite bear named Yogi,
“Hey, Boo-Boo-loo-ya”
Then there’s all those little blue guys
And they’d sing, “Hah-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lay-loo-yah”
How about Beavis and that other guy?
“Nah!!”

Now, there’s a point to this looney-tune
I’m not an Anamaniac
But there’s a lot of praisin’ to do
And cartoons weren’t made for that
It’s our God
So, let’s sing hallelujah

“Angel” by Sarah McLachlan

Title: Angel

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There’s always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it’s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There’s vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don’t make no difference
Escaping one last time
It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

“Angels Among Us” by Alabama

Length: 4:08

Title: Angels Among Us
Written by Becky Hobbs

I was walking home from school on a cold winter day.
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way.
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone.
But then a kind old man took my hand and led me home.
Mama couldnt see him, but he was standing there.
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers.

Chorus
Oh I believe there are angels among us.
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours.
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
To guide us with a light of love.

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees.
Theres always been someone there to come along and comfort me.
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand.
A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand.
And aint it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road.
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope.

Chorus

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places.
To guide us with their mercy, in our time of need.

Chorus
To guide us with a light of love.

“I Made It Through The Day” by Keith Urban

This is some Keith Urban music that you won’t find on any of his albums. Now that we know more about his life we know about his struggles with alchohol and what this song really means to him. I’ve never been a big Keith Urban fan but after listening to this I like him more and more. He’s a singer, musician and song writer.
