So Close

You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

The Christmas Hope

Her wish this Christmas
Was the Christmas would just past her by
Nothing could reach her
Or answer her question why
She feels so alone
And she wonders if all hope is gone

Hope is a candle
Light in the window
Showing the way for
A heart to come

Hope is a Savior
Who was born in the manger
Sent down from Heaven
To rescue our hearts
Our Christmas hope

She never imagined
That for her there was hope to find
But isn’t it amazing
How God brings a heart back to life?
She smiling now she’s finding out
What Christmas hope is all about

Hope is a present
A gift freely given
To all who receive
And open their hearts

Hope is a promise
For a better tomorrow
In a world filled with sorrow
We always have hope
Our Christmas hope

The People

Please pray for peace in India. Our goal is for the love of God in Jesus Christ to flow through all the world; let us pray that people in India and Pakistan would cease hostilities and would live in peace with one another.



This is the season we celebrate Christmas — the birth of Jesus Christ our Lord! Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ came to this earth to be born.

The Bible describes how “God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary...The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the Name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High...His kingdom will never end.”

Even though Mary was a virgin and had never had relations with a man, God said she would give birth to a Son Jesus — and He would be called the Son of God. This was a great miracle — God became a man and lived among us.

How great is the love of God for us! God could have just judged us — He could have ignored us — but He did not. Instead, He came to earth to be born as a man and give His life for our sins. It is a privilege to serve such a wonderful God.

This week, let us join together and pray for

* The love of God to be poured out on everyone who comes to our web sites
* Jesus Christ would become known as Savior to all your famlly
* God would help our staff to be filled and controlled with the Holy Spirit each and every day

Let us pray that, at this Christmas time of year, the hearts of people all over the world would turn to Jesus Christ the Savior. He alone can save people from their sins. He alone is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He alone will come again to rule the whole earth. He alone is worthy of all praise

THANK YOU so much for your faithful prayers.

May God bless you and your family this Christmas and always,

Thanks for my friends at Global Media Outreach

Stand By Me By Shayne Ward

Nothing's impossible
Nothing's unreachable
When I am weary
You make me stronger
This love is beautiful
So unforgetable
I feel no winter cold
When where together
When were together

[chorus]
Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told

When day turns into night
I look into your eyes
I see my future now
All the world and its wonder

This love wont fade away
And through the hardests days
I'll never question us
You are the reason
Why only reason

Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told

I am blessed
To find what I need
In a world loosing hope
Your my only believe
You make things right
Everytime after time

Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told

[Repeat chorus]

Stand by me
No more darling I want you by my side
I want you hear with me

Response :
_ _ _ _,
If you ask me would I stand by you,
I will say " yes "
Only if you let me.
Something comes
somethings goes between you and me.
Everything change before that and after this.
But no matter what, You're still the one I love.

Someone To Love By Shayne Ward

Finally
She came along
Broke the spell
And set me free
Push aside
What use to be
All the broken hearted man that once was me
I never gave it up
I always believe
When shes in my arms i no what i achieve

So hear my lonelyness
Im giving up on you
I dont need you anymore
Ive found what i been lookin for
So hear my emptyness
Ive got no room for you
Ive finally found what ive been dreamin of
Someone to love

Heyyy
Cos i was lost
I was down and out
Untill that day
I knew what my life was all about
Still wonder how
She came my way
Shes the reason im smiling here today

So hear my lonelyness
Im giving up on you
I dont need you anymore
Ive found what i been lookin for
So hear my emptyness
Ive got no room for you
Ive finally found what ive been dreamin of

Someone to love
To hold
To be my inspiration
Someone to touch, to cherise for life

So hear my lonelyness
Im giving up on you
I dont need you anymore
Ive found what i been lookin for
So hear my emptyness
Ive got no room for you
Ive finally found what i've been dreamin of
Someone to love

Someone to love

Oh baby

So hear my emptyness
Ive got no room for you
Ive finally found what i've been dreamin of
Ive finally found what i've been dreamin of
Someone to love
Someone to love

Breathless By Shayne Ward

If our love was a fairytale
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail
To an island where we'd say I do

And if we had babies they would look like you
It'd be so beautiful if that came true
You don't even know how very special you are


You leave me breathless
You're everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can't believe that you're mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you're leaving me
Breathless

And if our love was a story book
We would meet on the very first page
The last chapter would be about
How I'm thankful for the life we've made

And if we had babies they would have your eyes
I would fall deeper watching you give life
You don't even know how very special you are



You must have been sent from heaven to earth to change me
You're like an angel
The thing that I feel is stronger than love believe me
You're something special
I only hope that I'll one day deserve what you've given me
But all I can do is try
Every day of my life

Worship The King by Planetshakers

Walking down the road called life
Thinking how my world has changed
Since i met the saving grace
of the man they called Jesus Christ

* He's not just an ordinary guy
He is supernatural in all ways
He's not just in my imagination
He is real in everyway

I will stand in awe (2X)

Worship the King of Glory
Open up the doors, lift up the gates
The King of Glory, may He enter in
May His power fall, may His glory fill
All the earth

People come and people go,
Something's in and then it's out
One thing that remains the same
Is the Love I've found Jesus Christ

Crush

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside
it was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch your breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush aint going away, going away

Has it ever crossed your mind
When were hangin, spending time girl,
Are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever, And Ever

Apple of My Eye

This is for my people who just lost somebody. Your best friends , your baby, your man or your lady. True love should never die. When it does. Then you realize it was all a lie. Yeah, maybe that is why I keep missing you night and day. I make a day of it just to make sure I’m busy so that I won’t be missing you so much. I realize that someday somehow I just need to find you and talk about us. All the things that you think are not exactly the same as you seen and heard. I know I’ve to paddle my own canoe, explaining why and what was actually going on . What should I do when It comes just before and after ?
Trust is hard to gain but harder to keep. Trust takes years to build, but mere seconds to destroy. And then it's going to take you even longer to rebuild it .

When you're looking for love, you don't find it. When you aren't, love finds you. And now, am I looking the love from you or should I just assume that we’ll not going to walk through all of this together. I may not get to see you as often as I'd like. I may not get to hold you in my arms all through the night. But deep inside my heart I know, this is for real and no matter what, I'll always love you.

I never knew that I could hurt like this. I though by doing that and this, I should be happy because you’ll not be there for me. But after all of my plan succeed, its go to the dog.

When I first saw you, I know that I shouldn’t saw love.. And the first time you touched me, I shouldn’t felt love but after all of this time, you're still the one I love.

I know somebody, they cry for he or she. They lie awake at night and dream of somebody. I bet you never even know they do, but somebody's crying. But we don’t have to tell them what exactly going on right know.
Love ? Does it really that nice ? Some people may take three seconds to say I love you, three minutes to explain it but a lifetime to learn it.

I don’t get the chance to say everything that I wish to say , and I don’t even get the chance to make everything just right. Maybe it’s the end of the story of you and me . I guess I just have to keep all of the things inside that… and just hiding the words on a piece of…You don’t have to know that late at night when all the world is sleeping, I stay up and think of you. And I wish on a star, that somewhere you are thinking of me too. Sometimes in love you must accept the fact that what makes the person you cared about happy might on the other hand leave you so lonely.

We can’t make someone love us. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

I have to say that when you can't stop thinking about him and dreaming about him, when you see his face everywhere you go and hear his sweet voice call your name over and over... What can I tell you, my friend? This is called love. No matter how painful your past love life is, be brave and smile, look forward to tomorrow, someone is out there waiting for you.
I like not only to be loved, but to be told that I am loved. Telling someone how you feel doesn't hurt as much as not saying anything at all to that someone who is deeply in-love with you.

_ _ _ _ ,
If I die never having loved, then I die never having lived. My heart longs for you, my soul dies for you, my eyes cry for you, my empty arms reach out for you.
