Song Story:   The subtitle of this song is "Shelter in Your Arms."  See the song story for
the companion song Lullaby Of God,  to learn why.  For this song's story:

At 3:33 AM on the morning after Claxton at Valley Worship & Praise Studio
and I had recorded LULLABY OF GOD, 
                       I awoke thinking of how often we people hurt God.  
                       About how perhaps HE would enjoy having someone who loved Him 
to sing soothing words to HIM, as a mother comforts her child,
as God Himself comforts us. ....
        And then I thought – why not? 

Why can’t we who love our Lord deeply express our love
            through lulling words of worship?  
           This song falls under the  subject of Evangelism because of the line 
“Love won't force me.  I choose You.  You won't force me.”  
Even God does not force Himself on people; 
Christ followers must follow His steps, 
       must let the Holy Spirit  guide listeners
                 after we present His Good News.

        THIS SONG initiated the concept for the AMAZING LOVE 'N' LULLABIES album; 

up until then, I had not idea whatsoever that God would continue to gift songs to His world through me. I am still astounded by His honor of letting me develop His songs.


Dedicated to our Lord, 24 December 2008

LYRICS
INTRODUCTION
All the many times God has said "I Love you"
in both words and in His actions, including on the Cross,
He MEANT  them.  But He loves and RESPECTS us
too much to FORCE us to come to Him.
This song is a prayer lullaby FROM us to our Amazing,
             Sheltering God.

our lullaby to God....

“I  LOVE  YOU.”   

Don’t think that my words mean nothing.
I’m sorry I was slow to hear You  calling.
I yearn to be  held     in Your arms.  For-
give my sins  that  hurt Your heart.  Help
me to hold    You  in my heart.

Lord, God, ..... I come..... to You:
Love  won’t force me.       I choose
You.    You won’t force me.    I love
You.    Please protect me.    I sought
You,    and found You love me.       In Your
arms,     I found my shelter.... and learned  love.

Nothing But The Blood Saves, by DianaDee Osborne

NOTHING  BUT  THE  BLOOD  SAVES
Romans 10: 9  and  John 10:10

Song Story:  
          I awoke at 4:30m 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.

    As I wrote it out the “old way” on paper,  

without my computer and recording music program (in the dark for several days.. nights:),
          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.

Verses are based on the Public Domain  hymn by Robert Lowry, CCLI #21332.

Dedicated to Jesus our Savior,  29 August 2011

LYRICS

Supporting Scriptures:  
John 10: 9 and 10  (Verse 1 above).  JESUS is speaking:
"I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
 The thief  [Satan-- see John 8:44 also]  does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have [it] more abundantly."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------  
 
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

Supporting Scriptures:  
First John 1: 3 to 7  (Verse 2 above).  GOD is speaking to each of us:
".... truly our fellowship [is] with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.  And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness,   we lie and do not practice the truth. 
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another,
 and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.    (verse 7)
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us  our  sins and to             
    cleanse us from all unrighteousness.        
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------  

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

----------------------------------------------------------------------------  

Supporting Scriptures:  
Romans 10:9  (Verse 3 above)
"...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."   PLUS God's Word that follows:
10 - For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 
11 - For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.
12 - YET ANOTHER KEY VERSE >>> For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him."  [NIV - richly blesses]

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

All Praise And Glory, by DianaDee Osborne

ALL  PRAISE  AND  GLORY
ALBUM:      Amazing Jesus 'n' Children

Song location  http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/Songs-2008-2012.php
CLICK HERE      to hear song  (FREE)

Song Story:  
        The PHRASE and the music line "All Praise and Glory" kept going through my head.
So I drafted a few words in my journal in April 2010.  Almost two years later, while looking through old journals to seek a new song project to develop for LORD God,
I came across that entry.  I played around on the keyboard for a few moments, and
suddenly had the main music lines in mind.
          I had not done a children's song for a long time, and decided to begin this goal.
          Thus this became the first song in  new album... complete with hand motion ideas.
The idea to HAVE hand motions came because we'd just developed some for a
song that I was leading for the church's praise band worship that month.


Dedicated to our God of Glory,  25 April 2010;                                       re-dedicated 23 January 2012

LYRICS
NOTE: 
Adults can sing the main words while children jump in on
                    “ALL PRAISE AND GLORY” 

1  
You, oh God,  are LORD of all and You deserve all     

PRAISE AND GLORY!
You alone created us and we give You all     

PRAISE AND GLORY!
You, oh God,  are full of grace and 

             sent Your Son Jesus to save us!
 
CHORUS

Oh…. how we love You, dear Trinity God!  
First John 5: 7 shows You’re One God… and
we give You all PRAISE AND GLORY!  

We give You all PRAISE AND GLORY!
 
2
You, Jesus,  are LORD of all and You deserve all     

PRAISE AND GLORY!
You became man, died on a cross.  We give You all     

PRAISE AND GLORY!
For You rose to LIFE  again so we

       can ask forgiveness for sins!          >> CHORUS

3
Holy Spirit, LORD of all…..     

You deserve all       PRAISE AND GLORY!
Jesus sent You to help us pray!  

We  give You all PRAISE AND GLORY!
Jesus said in John 16, 

             You answer prayers for Truth and comfort!

CHORUS
Oh…. how we love You, dear Trinity God!  
First John 5: 7 shows You’re One God… and
we give You all PRAISE AND GLORY!  

We give You all PRAISE AND GLORY!

Supporting Scriptures:  
John 1: 14   NKJV.
“The Word [Jesus] became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

First John 5:  7 New KJV

“For there are three that bear witness in heaven:
the Father, the Word, &  the Holy Spirit;

   and these three are  [ God in ]  One.”

supporting logic:  
John 1:10  clearly says Jesus CREATED the world... 
Only God could and did create the world... hence, 
logical math:    Jesus is God.

A CHILDREN'S  GAME TO USE SONG WITH   >>
    1.    Use one of the verses repeatedly.  (Verse 1 suggested-  easiest to say “God”).
    2.    Begin at the slower speed.
    3.    For each new verse, build up speed until the children are laughing at
                 joy in praising our Lord this way!

WONDER (humor Nature song), by DianaDee Osborne

WONDER
ALBUM:      Amazing Christ 'n' Critters 
Song location  http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/Songs-2008-2012.php
CLICK HERE      to hear song  (FREE)

Song Story:  
This song suggests evidence that God has a sense of humor.  It was inspired along a hiking trail by an average-sized-body squirrel with an *enormous* tail !
    It gives us joy to wonder at God's wonders...


    And the greatest wonder of all is that God ACTUALLY  loves us 'no matter what' weird questions come to our minds. 
    And, sadly for God, is the wonder that He actually loves

 even persons who scoff at any mention of God, 
who won't try the scientific experiment of  seeking  'god' .
(See song SAFE EXPERIMENTS.) 
    Who never give themselves the experience of honestly, with a scientific curiosity and  mind open to unexpected results,
    at least  try testing the many Bible promises that they'll find Him IF they seek.


Deuteronomy 4:29,   Jeremiah 29: 11-14,   Luke 11:9, and  Acts 17:27-28  NIV:
 “...they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us, For in Him we live and move and have our being....” )   

JESUS:   Seek and you WILL find.  Knock and the door WILL be opened to you....
                         Luke 11:9,    Matthew 7: 7



Dedicated to our Lord, 10 October 2009

LYRICS
1
Do squirrel tails just get bigger, the older that they be?
That is a silly question that, quite frankly intrigues me.
        And do crickets ever wonder why the world is so noisy?
Bug World is loud. I'm not too proud to ask things so silly.
And what of buzzards? 

Do they wonder why their flights cause frights?
Do owls and bats ever wonder that 

                many creatures don't like nights?
2
And why are the mice in pet stores cute,
but the mouse in my house has fangs that are huge?

And why did God make mosquitoes when roaches could feed frogs and toads? 
And have you ever wondered why that some dogs really slobber,
       while other dogs keep their tongues in their mouths 

             where I think that they ought-er?
And why do cats always so want to be in a high place?
More exactly, when I'm lying down, why is that place on my face 

3
Of all the questions in my head, the one that most stumps me
          is     why I'm dearly loved by God through all eternity.
        Even if I don't love Him.
        Even if I don't believe in Him.
        Even if I won't follow Him.
4
Of all the Answers I have found, the one that amazes me
         is     found in Romans 5, verse 8 __
    God All- Mighty demonstrates His  Love, DYING for me.
        Verse 10:   While I was an enemy,
        Jesus died to reconcile me  to God.
5
Isaiah Chapter 29,  God says,
'these people once more I'll astound with wonders.
But intelligence will vanish from arrogant ones.”
    Verse 19:   “Humble people will rejoice,
    and the needy will rejoice” ___ with God.

6
Of all the questions in OUR heads,
the one that should grieve us
    is how we Christians know God's love and
    yet act so selfish...............
7
Of all the wonders in OUR HEARTS, 

the one that should break us
    is “How many persons have I turned
    away from God because...
                I've been so unloving.... while
                using Jesus' Name:   ................... 'Christian'?”



Supporting Scriptures:  
“Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for forty years,
humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and
to find out whether or not you would really obey his commands...
He did it to teach you that people need more than bread for their life;
real life comes by feeding on every word of the Lord.”
- Deuteronomy 8:2 and 3b   but see entire chapter

The Church's ONE Found, by DianaDee Osborne

THE  CHURCH'S  ONE  FOUND
ONE = Jesus 
ALBUM:      Amazing Holy Spirit 'n' Church

Song location  http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/Songs-2008-2012.php
CLICK HERE      to hear song  (FREE)

Song Story:  
This song was written as a chorus to GIVING UP ON CHURCH...  
but I split up the songs since, generally, songs are not ten minutes long!
The two songs obviously lead to a message that
 NO, we should not  give up on God's church.  
After all, if anyone has every had just cause to do that, 
it was most assuredly Jesus.  
For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.  -- Hebrews 12:3

And Jesus calls us to be like Him.... 
which includes going to church (Hebrews 10:25).

   Why do people give up on church?

    Because this old hymn is not part of our hearts in church.
    Because we enjoy the GIFTING of God.... yes, it is gifting, of skills and intelligence so much
    that   we too often NEGLECT praying Ephesians 3:20 for power,    SCRIPTURE LINK
    often NEGLECT praying Ephesians 6: 10 to end for protection,      
  SCRIPTURE LINK         as Christ's Body, Christ's Church on earth.

    As I completed this song... another fast gift from God, and began practicing the vocals, a sob kept catching in my throat.

                 Oh, how we in the Church hurt Jesus.....

CHURCH PRAYER:   Lord, we need Your help, your protection, your empowering:
Help this Church stop hurting You with our self-dependence.
Be our ONE and Only  FOUND-ation! 



Part 2 adapted from “The Church's One Foundation” by  Samuel Stone & Samuel Wesley
(Public Domain, CCLI # 55377)      

Dedicated to Christ Our Foundation,  30 August 2011

LYRICS
1
When THE Church... 

         any church that uses Christ's own Name..........
becomes too busy to fervently pray Ephesians 6 for His protection,
That church shows the World that her
foundation is "church" -- NOT Christ --

God's own Church must find that        >>>


2        (traditional melody with adapted words)
The Church's ONE Foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord.  

She is His new Creation, by water and God's Word.
From heaven He came and sought her to be His Holy Bride. 

With Christ's Own Blood He bought her, and
for her Life He died..... And
     for THIS Church, Jesus died.... For        
     US  in THIS Church, Jesus died.  Lord,  
     help THIS Church LIVE for You ............ 

 
3      
Even if Church says God is first, as
they -- as we-- use Christ's Name,  if
we depend on our own skills, don't
pray Ephesians 3 for His empowering,
That church shows the World  that her
FOUNDation  is   CHURCH   -- NOT  CHRIST!
God's own Church must say,  "We're  >>


4        (traditional melody with adapted words) 
We're people of ev'ry Nation, ONE Church o'er all the Earth.  The Church Charter of salvation IS  "One Lord, One Faith, One Birth."  
One holy Name Church blesses,  One Holy Communion.  
To just One Hope, Church presses, with
ev'ry grace from God,  because
     for THIS Church, Jesus died.... For           
     US  in THIS Church, Jesus died.  Lord,      
     help THIS Church LIVE for You............          


5        (traditional melody with adapted words) 
The Church on Earth has union with 
God the Three in One.  And
mystic sweet communion with those 

whose rest has come.  
      Lord, give us Vision glorious to   
      FOUND  this CHURCH on You.               
  Make     
  us Your Church Victorious who brings people to  

  You WITH OUR THANKS that
     for THIS Church, Jesus died.... For
     US  in THIS Church, Jesus died.  Lord,

     help THIS Church LIVE for You............


Supporting Scriptures:  
“Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, [you are] God's building.  For no other foundation can anyone lay than
       that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ."  -- 1 Corinthians 3:  8,9,11 NKJV.

See Ephesians 2, esp. 19-end:  “...members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner[stone], in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”

Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:   
           I “had a song in my head” and went downstairs to my home studio to record it before I left for the river beach where I go to pray before 8:30 church services.  I don't usually get on the system on Sundays... So I knelt to pray as the programs loaded... and the words of Verse 1 were my prayer. And I saw it was in rhythm to God's “song in my head.”

         And I prayed “WOW, God!”  Finished  melody & chord touch-ups beside the river.

JESUS READING THE PROPHECY OF HIMSELF in the Temple as He began His ministry:
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me 
To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, 
To proclaim liberty to the captives, 
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;   [Isaiah 61:1]  ...

MATTHEW 5:11,  Jesus's warning that becomes increasingly seen:    "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.

Dedicated to Protector LORD God, 2 February 2013
LYRICS
READING FROM Psalm 119:  145 through 152

PSALM 119  LOVING LIVING WORD.  Qoph - the back of the head.                                   
145     I cry out with my whole heart;  Hear me, O Lord!  I will keep Your statutes.
146     I cry out to You;  Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.
147-8     I rise before the dawning of the morning,  And cry for help;  I hope in Your word.   My eyes are awake through the night watches,  That I may meditate on Your word.
149     Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;  O Lord, revive me according to Your justice.
150     They draw near who follow after wickedness;  They are far from Your law.
151     You are near, O Lord,  And all Your commandments are truth.
152     Concerning Your testimonies, 
                I have known of old that You have founded them forever.


1    (MOVEMENT 1)
I  …. cry out ….... with my whole heart.  Hear me,
LORD!  I shall keep Your statutes.
I cry, “Save me and I will keep Your testimonies.”  I
rise before the dawn and cry for
    help from............ You.         


long interlude

  
I  …. find hope ….... in Your Word, LORD.
I awake at night to think on Your Word.  Hear
me by Your loving kindness, revive me by justice.  The
wicked are far from Your Law,  and they
    draw …........ near to me.                       ( interlude )

    (MOVEMENT 2)
You are near,  O LORD.  

And Your Commandments are Truth.
I have known from long ago that You, God, wrote them   for us forever,  Your Word forever! …................
for us forever, God's Law forever!

God's Supporting Scriptures:
Matthew 5:17,  Jesus is speaking..... Jesus is VERIFYING THE WORD "FOREVER":
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill."  -- Jesus
God's Supporting Scriptures:
Matthew 5:18,  Jesus is speaking..... Jesus is VERIFYING THE WORD "FOREVER":
 "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled."    --Jesus
NOTE:  Later scriptures, incl. by Jesus, EXPLAIN that the Law still exists butJesus came to pay our price (take OUR punishment)            
        for BREAKING  God's EXISTING-FOREVER (Psalm 119) Law.
