LA LA LA LIVE OUT LOUD

Imagine this…I get a phone call from Regis
He says, “Do you want to be a millionaire?”
They put me on the show and I win with two lifelines to spare
Now picture this…I act like nothing ever happened
And bury all the money in a coffee can
Well, I’ve been given more than Regis ever gave away
I was a dead man who was called to come out of my grave
And I think it’s time for makin’ some noise

Wake the neighbors, get the word out
Come on…crank up the music…climb a mountain and shout
This is life we’ve been given made to be lived out
So la la la la live out loud
Live out loud, yeah

Think about this…try to keep a bird from singing
After it’s soared up in the sky
Give the sun a cloudless day and tell it not to shine
Now think about this…if we really have been given
The gift of a life that will never end
And if we have been filled with living hope we’re gonna overflow
And if God’s love is burning in our hearts we’re gonna glow
There’s just no way to keep it in

Wake the neighbors, get the word out
Come on…crank up the music…climb a mountain and shout
This is life we’ve been given made to be lived out
So la la la la live out loud
Live out loud, yeah

Everybody, come on
La la la…la la la la
La la la live out loud
I want to hear everybody sing
La la la…la la la la
La la la live out loud, loud, loud

Every corner of creation is a living declaration
Come join the song we were made to sing

Wake the neighbors, get the word out
Come on…crank up the music…climb a mountain and shout
This is life we’ve been given made to be lived out
So la la la la live out loud
Live out loud, yeah

Easily one of my most favorite songs! Why you may ask well I think it’s a great reminder for we Christians to remember that Christianity is contagious especially when we are having a blast living it out Loud!

Joy In the Journey by Michael Card
This song has such special meaning for me….It was nine years ago this past July That i found myself in a communist country at the youthful age of nineteen…and I did not have my parents there with me.

A few months after returning home I received a video in the mail. It was our teams video and in it This song was there I had never heard it before but as the video scanned the beautiful country side and some moving moments with our students I knew I would never have this opportunity again…So here are the beautiful lyrics and a video!

JOY OF THE JOURNEY
By Micheal Card

There is a joy in the journey,

there's a light we can love on the way.

There is a wonder and wildness to life,

and freedom for those who obey.

All those who seek it shall find i

t,

a pardon for all who believe.

Hope for the hopeless and sight for the blind

To all who've been born of the Spirit

and who share incarnation with him;

who belong to eternity, stranded in time,

and weary of struggling with sin.

Forget not the hope

that's before you,

and never stop counting the cost.

Remember the hopelessness when you were lost?
