Music Segment: Sara Groves

This is music for women if there is such a thing (although my husband can hang with it too :)

Meet Sara Groves
I've highlighted my two favorite CDs she has released and below is a sample song from each record along with the lyrics. Would love to hear what you think!

Kingdom Comes

When anger fills your heart
When in your pain and hurt
You find the strength to stop
You bless instead of curse

When doubting floods your soul
Though all things feel unjust
You open up your heart
You find a way to trust

That's a little stone that's a little mortar
That's a little seed that's a little water
In the hearts of the sons and the daughters
The kingdom's coming

When fear engulfs your mind
Says you protect your own
You still extend your hand
You open up your home

When sorrow fills your life
When in your grief and pain
You choose again to rise
You choose to bless the name

That's a little stone that's a little mortar
That's a little seed that's a little water
In the hearts of the sons and the daughters
The kingdom's coming

In the mundane tasks of living
In the pouring out and giving
In the waking up and trying
In the laying down and dying

That's a little stone that's a little mortar
That's a little seed that's a little water
In the hearts of the sons and the daughters
The kingdom's coming

The Journey is my own

When I stand before the Lord, I'll be
standing alone. This journey is my own.
Still I want man's advice, and I need
man's approval, but this journey is my own

CHORUS:
Why would I want to live for man and pay
the highest price? What would it mean to
gain the world, only to lose my life?
So much of what I do is to make a good
impression. This journey is my own.
So much of what I say is to make myself
look better. This journey is my own

CHORUS

I have never felt relief like I feel it
right now. This journey is my own. 'Cause
trying to please the world it was breaking
me down, it was breaking me down

Now I live and I breathe for an audience
of one, now I live and I breath for an
audience of one. Now I live and I breathe
for an audience of one, 'cause I
know this journey is my own

CHORUS

You can live for someone else, and it
will only bring you pain. I can't even
judge myself. Only the Lord can say, "Well done."
