Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:
         I awoke at 4:30  in the morning ---- in the dark,  thanks to Hurricane Irene on the East Coast of the United States ---- with Movement 2 of  this song in my head.  Verses are based on the Public Domain hymn by Robert Lowry, CCLI #21332

        As I wrote it out the “old way” on paper,  without my computer and recording music program, God brought the idea of merging with this old hymn to my mind.  For quite awhile I’ve been praying for more “Blended” songs,  that merge the wonderful messages God shared with people years ago through old songs with new songs for His World.   This song is most assuredly one of His Answers.  Written with my humble thanks to Him.

Dedicated to Jesus our Savior,  29 August 2011

LYRICS
1
What can wash away my sins? NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
What can make me whole again? NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
   Jesus Christ left His heaven for me.
   Lived to bring God's own Word to me.
   Suffered, died on the Cross for me so I CAN
   live LIFE NOW, so ABUNDANTLY, as Jesus
           promised in John 10, Verse 10.
On that Cross He shed His blood for me, so
I can live with Him eternally if I
pray Romans 10:9  and accept Jesus as my
LORD Who died so I can Live, if I choose
Him as my LORD, reject Pride   and admit JESUS IS LORD!

CHORUS
Oh, precious is the flow that made me white as snow.
NO OTHER WAY TO GOD,  Nothing but the blood of Jesus.


2
What can make me pure again?  NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
First John One, Verse 7 says clear:  NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
   Jesus Christ left His heaven for me.
   Lived to bring God's own Word to me.
   Suffered, died on the Cross for me so I CAN
   live LIFE NOW, so ABUNDANTLY,        as Jesus
           promised in John 10, Verse 10.

 
On that Cross He shed His blood for me, so
I can live with Him eternally if I
pray Romans 10:9  and accept Jesus as my
LORD Who died so I can Live, if I choose
        Him as my LORD, reject Pride   and admit JESUS IS LORD!

 CHORUS
Oh, precious is the flow that made me white as snow.
NO OTHER WAY TO GOD,  Nothing but the blood of Jesus.


3
THIS IS ALL MY hope AND peace:  Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.
Forgiveness and righteousness COME ONLY THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
   Jesus left His heaven for me.
   Lived to bring God's own Word to me.
   Suffered, died on the Cross for me so I CAN
   live LIFE NOW, so ABUNDANTLY, as Jesus
       promised in John 10,   Verse 10.
On that Cross He shed His blood for me, so
I can live with Him eternally if I
pray Romans 10:9  and accept Jesus as my
LORD Who died so I can Live, if I choose
Him as my LORD, reject Pride & admit JESUS IS LORD!


CHORUS
Oh, precious is the flow that made me white as snow.
NO OTHER WAY TO GOD,  Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Daily Victory Prayer (I Need Thee Every Hour), by DianaDee Osborne

DAILY  VICTORY  PRAYER
(old hymn "I Need Thee Ev'ry Hour")          SUBSCRIBE  
ALBUM:      Amazing Power 'n' Prayers

Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:
Not surprisingly,  I wrote this song to encourage myself against a specific "ordinary" temptation that I refuse to accept just because people call it normal.  This became my morning prayer, and God helped me craft this into one of my earliest songs from Him.
I repeatedly use -- in many songs -- the phrase  "I  CHOOSE".  In fact, the 3rd verse of
my song
         "I Choose Your Choice"    was the VERY first song idea  God gave to me,
while waiting for a music concert to begin at the ALIVE Festival in Canton Ohio USA.

Too often, we get CARELESS.... we forget that every giving in to something was OUR choice, CHOICE being a gift from God.  We can't "pass the buck", blame someone or something else.  Didn't fool God with Adam and Eve.  Didn't work for Jonah explaining 'why he ran.'
God knows our hearts....  and carelessness is not a permission from Him.

Chorus's  “I Need Thee Every Hour”  bit are lyrics by Annie Hawks; melody by Robert Lowry  (Public Domain CCLI 78811)
Dedicated to our God Who Strengthens us, 16 October 2009

LYRICS
1
Good morning, Father God.  Thank You for this night's rest.
Thank You for Your gift of You -- of all Your gifts, that's best!
Thank You for this new gift day.  I give You each hour.
I need Your great Spirit's Help.  I need Your grace and Power...
through this Day --  I need You, God!


CHORUS        I need Thee ev'ry hour, most Gracious Lord.
            Temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh.....


2
Now I prepare for this day.  I choose to follow Your Plan.
I choose to obey Your Word in Ephesians Six.
Thank You for Your true Promise, I shall win each battle
if I follow You my Leader and dress for success..
through this Day --  I need You, God!        

CHORUS        I need Thee ev'ry hour, most Gracious Lord.
            Temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh.....


3
I put on Your Belt of Truth.  God help me believe just Truth.
I put on the breast-plate of God's holy righteousness.
Help me guard my emotions.  Guard my heart from wrong feelings.
I choose to live by Your Truth and not by my feelingsthrough this Day --  I need You, God!       

CHORUS        I need Thee ev'ry hour, most Gracious Lord.
            Temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh.....


4
I put on Your shoes of Peace.  God, help me believe Your Peace.
I hold high Your Shield of Faith.  I trust in God -- not me.
I hold high Your Shield of Faith.  I trust in God -- not me -- I REPEAT!
I shall hold up God's Shield when I'm tempted to do wrong
through this Day --  I need You, God!      

CHORUS        I need Thee ev'ry hour, most Gracious Lord.
            Temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh.....


5
I put on God's helmet.  God, protect my mind, I beg.
I need Your salvation -- Help my thoughts always please You.
I take up God's Sword, God's Word.  

I choose to live by God's Word.
God's World always brings to us God's promised victory,
through this Day --  I need You, God!  
     

CHORUS        
  I need Thee ev'ry hour, most Gracious Lord.   
            Temptations lose their power                 

                       when Thou art nigh.....                  


God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
James 4:   7 and 8  (see also song JAMES FOUR SEVEN  by DianaDee)
6 - But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."
7 - Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
8 - Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [you] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [you] double-minded.
EPHESIANS 6:  10-18 NKJV
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities,          
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,   [Satan - John 8:44]
against spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places].
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, 
that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, 
and having done all, to stand.  
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,  and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;  above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;   
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, 
             being watchful to this end 
with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--”

Psalm 33 Making Melody, by DianaDee Osborne

PSALM  33  MAKING  MELODY     SUBSCRIBE
ALBUM:      Amazing Psalms 'n' Promises
Song location  http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/Songs-2008-2012.php
CLICK  HERE      for free download

Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:
The music was really easy to create at the keyboard.  It took longer to write out the notes.  Especially for that chord marked   D [keyboard: E F# A C ] ”...... 
               I STILL have no idea what that chord idea from God is named!       
What took longest, though,  was figuring  out a fast joyful pace that would give time for singers to fit in all of Psalmist David's Words.  I think that, with God's empowering, this psalm of His praise came out to be a song that's really fun to sing!

Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:
    The repeated, yet never boring, song story is this: I sat down with my New KJV Bible and special Psalm journal with a prayer for God's guidance in putting another of His Psalms-through-David into modern music. turned to Psalm 33, and the lines just fell into place.  Notice how often the lines fell into RHYME. 

    That's God, certainly not genius from my end Revelation 22:6 ....“These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”
        When God has a Word to share, He inspires someone to share it.
That someone can just as easily be you if you choose to humbly              
                 ask Him to let you serve Him,   sharing His Word.                       

    Jesus promised YOU, us all, in John 16:13:  "...when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears [from God the Father] He will speak; and He will tell you  things to come."
Dedicated to God,  22 October 2011

God's SUPPORTING WORDS  -- I   LOVE   THESE WORDS warning "wise" people! :
Psalm 33: 10 through 14  (Verse 3)  New Living Translation
The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes.   But the LORD's plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken. 
 What joy for the nation whose God is the LORD, 
       whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.  
The LORD looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race. 
From his throne he observes all who live on the earth.  ...

Verses 17 to 22
Don't count on your warhorse to give you victory—
           for all its strength, it cannot save you. 
But the LORD watches over those who fear him, 
           those who rely on his unfailing love.  
      He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine.  
We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. 
In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.  
Let your unfailing love surround us, 
                    LORD,   for our hope is in you alone.

Pray and Run (song), by DianaDee Osborne

Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:
It was actually rather hard to come up with a really dorky recording to match the dorky melody and piano for the dorky Part 1 prayer (from us to God).  And Claxton at Valley Worship & Praise Studio  gave me an odd look when I asked for a very dorky percussion..... :) 

Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:
I REALLY REALLY wanted to write a song for our LORD that expressed
sorrow at the way we treat Him after all He does for us.  God answered with this song.
Romans 8:26, God's promise for you also                        -- New Living Translation:
   “And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. 
    For we don't even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray.
    But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot
        be expressed in words.”
GOD GAVE ME THIS PRAY-ED FOR SONG 
    on the SORROW-FILLED FIRST ANNIVERSARY  of a deep church sorrow... I thank Him
       for the reminder of His love and guidance especially on that date!
Dedicated to our Lord, 10 March 2009

LYRICS
VERBAL INTRODUCTION
It is astounding!    God, the Creator of the universe, actually INVITES us to come talk with
Him!   For example, through Hebrews 4:16,  God invites you and me to “COME BOLDLY to the Throne of Grace,  that we may obtain MERCY and FIND GRACE to help in time of need.”   God even tells us through words like those of Jesus Himself in John 15,  that we are His FRIEND.   
    But so often, our prayers are a  ONE-way speaking  AT 
    our God that sound something like this........

   Part 1 –   Me praying to God                   
Start quote marks here:  “Knock, knock, I'm here.
    Not much to say.  Help me this day.
           Help me work quick.  Thanks, I'm not sick.
My car sure is.  Please help with this.

Food costs are high.  Help me get by.
       No fair -- they're  rich.   I   deserve this.
             She's mad again.  Give her wisdom.
He's been bad too.  Forgive, will You?

Oh, yeah -- I need  Your love, I plead.
        Give me much peace.  From fears, release.
And -- oh,  no rain  for today's game.
Forget me not.  Don't wanna be hot.
Nice to talk to You, God -- that's all my prayer.
So guess  I'll say   Amen. “        END QUOTE. 

 READING:   God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
Job 41:10 NIV, re the leviathan monster:  “Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw  with a hook? ... No one is fierce enough to rouse him. Who then is able to stand against Me?”
       Even with other people,  if there is a silence, we tend to try to fill it by speaking.    So,    it is UNDERSTAND-able to forget that prayer goes TWO  ways -----   also LISTENING for  God’s voice.  God tells us through Psalm 46:10,   “Be STILL and know that I am God.”      In  John 5 and 8, Jesus spoke of  HONORING God.   
      Our great God is NOT some creature to be TAMED, as  His words tell us in JOB Chapter 41.   God is NOT a fairy godmother, granting wishes that WE call “prayers.” 


   Part 2 –   GOD praying to me  (praying = 2-way)          

What kind of prayer is this?  You do all the talking?
Would you treat friends like this --
start asking favors as soon as you walk in the door?

Do you think God is your servant?
Do you think I will just step in your leash?
Only the foolish dare pet the wild lion.
Only the foolish think they can pet Me.

       (quiet)
There is no formula to win prayer answers.
I am your Friend and I yearn to be more... than

        (LOUD)
some fairy godmother to grant your wishes and
think I must answer if you pray right words?


If you talked to friends like some people pray,
speaking just idle chat, then asking stuff,
You would indeed be without one true friend.

And yet My love for you never will end.
Despite some self-centered prayers that you say,
I yearn to be with you through every day.
I love you too much to demand My way,
If you don't want the real God, I'll obey
your free-will wish to not be my friend!

Psalm 46, verse 10:      Stop running as you pray.      [NKJV]
Psalm 46: verse 10:      Stop running as you pray.   [Living NLT]
    “Be still....know I am God,  and I love you”..........     

           Stay and pray.                          


God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
"Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world."   
                           -- Psalm 46: 10       New Living Translation

True Friend Jesus, by DianaDee Osborne

TRUE  FRIEND  JESUS         SUBSCRIBE  
ALBUM:      Amazing Faith 'n' Freedom
Song location  http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/Songs-2008-2012.php
CLICK HERE      for free download

Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:
    I had recently (end of 2010)  begun praying that the Holy Spirit would start providing blues and gospel songs to His world through me.  Three reasons: 

    (1)  I loved His sense of humor in giving me country songs 
after my years of saying “I don't like country.”  Now I do! 

    (2)  I've been going to a church with gospel music for 3 years and I
just loved the true worship feel as we close our eyes and raise our hands and sway to the music in praise to our Lord -- worship that just ignores all the world around us.  And, most importantly,

     (3) It  has been my long-time prayer that the Holy Spirit, the Creator of All, would provide such a wide  range of creative music 
through my hands and voice that 
    only minds closed to God's reality could think 
    that one single person could “think up” so many different 
    types of music.       ..............                       
            The music itself is Evidence of God.                          


    One morning after again praying this, I went to the sanctuary piano and “just decided”  to sit at the keyboard before going to the altar.  I started running my hands across the keyboard, trying out some different chord progressions.... and this song happened.
Verse 1, the melody, and the majority of the chords were written in 12 minutes.    A gift from God and God alone, 
simply *through* DianaDee.      -ddo

Dedicated to our TRUE  Friend, Jesus, 17 February 2011

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:

Hebrews 13:5 NLT:    Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."


"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.”  --JESUS, John 15:13-15


JESUS DID NOT REJECT JUDAS as friend EVEN  AFTER JUDAS betrayed  Him.
    “But Jesus said to him [Judas, at the time of his betrayal), "Friend,  why have you come?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. .”  --Matthew 26:50  NKJV

“And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, 'Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.' And he was called the friend of God.” -James 2:23

Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:
Another of those songs from God where I found a “cool” song He’d already written in His Bible, through the Psalmist, and just sat at the keyboard and “played” with various sounds.  Entire music written in minutes.  It took a lot longer to figure out what timing I had to record on a music sheet!   Thanking The Holy Spirit for His continuing Creative gifts!

Dedicated to our EXCITING! God,  7 October  2011

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
    “And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.      And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.”  --Exodus 19:  6-9.      (KJV)

    From Exodus 13: 21, “And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.  He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night [from] before the people.”                   (New KJV )

TITUS  3: 5 - 7    (New KJV)                     (SONG VERSE 6 )
“….not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,  that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:
        I wrote this song at the altar, alone with God, after a final cleaning out of the HS/College classroom where I'd taught with joy for 9-1/2 years.  A voluntary leaving, resulting from prayers for guidance and reaching a conclusion that I should, at least for awhile, allow others to learn the joy of teaching youth.

    But I was brokenly thinking of other losses over the past two years.  This song from God -- again written within minutes (total of one hour, lyrics and music -- it took longer to type!) seems to be His answer FOR  US  ALL:


    Sometimes God needs to knock down our wooden house ministry  so that we'll depend on Him to rebuild us up as cathedrals.... to show everyone that it us NOT us but our Wise, Loving, Great Architect God Who is building us up.  And our God comforts us while we weep in the heap of our old blocks.


Dedicated to our BUILDING UP God, 18 June 2010

LYRICS
1
The child's building blocks were all used up - a nice little house of wood.  The
child studied hard, then caught me off guard as he
smacked down blocks hard as he could.
“Why did you do THAT?”  I brokenly asked. 
“This was such a nice little house.”
    “I needed those blocks,” the child simply said, “to
    build a great house you will see ... with my plan.”

2
My life seemed O.K. as day after day I 

gladly worked hard to serve God.     I
was caught off-guard ---    I felt smacked down hard 

           when this
                            ministry seemed taken away.
“Why did you do THAT, God?”  I brokenly asked. 
“This work for You seemed to do much.”
    “I'm taking these blocks,” God seemed to reply, “to
    build your great life ministry.... with My Plan.”


TAG
How silly we'd be to doubt architects
renowned for cathedral designs.

 
How silly we ARE to doubt God's great Plan for our
Life:  God's buildings never fall!  

                               -- Jeremiah 29, start at 11(through 14).


God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."
Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." 
  -- Revelation 21: 2b-5 NKJV
