What Song?

Please, please, please- 

Is there any way for you to tell me what song was playing  today (Sat. March 9) between 9:15 and 9:25? I was on my way to a class, and I had to drive through an area of town that holds terrible memories for me. The closer I got to a certain intersection, the more panicked I felt. I was listening to K-Love, and praying for peace, and trying to sing (which always helps), but the song you were playing was one I didn't know at all, and I couldn't sing along... 

The MOMENT that the intersection came into view, the song changed to a new one, and it was one I knew, and it was an unmistakable message that God was in control and that everything was fine. I sang, and actually smiled big as I drove through that terrible intersection, and on to my class, one block away. 

Once the class got going, I forgot all about it, until I had to drive home many hours later, and passed the intersection again. This time I was not afraid, because I remembered what had happened this morning- but I could not remember what song it was! I had heard and learned so much during the day, that I just could not make myself remember what song it was. It would mean so much to me if someone could tell me what songs were playing while I was driving this morning so that I can listen to that song again and look at the lyrics. 

Thank you so much for all that you do. I know you hear stories every day, but you just can't even know what your radio station has meant to me and the effect it has had on my life.  

Sincerely, Me





Hi, 

Thanks for sharing your heart with us. It is so inspiring to know how God spoke to your heart & comforted you right as you were going through the intersection.

Here are the songs we played:

Sweetly Broken by Jeremy Riddle
The Great I Am by Phillips Craig and Dean
Give Me Words to Speak by Aaron Shust
Word of God Speak by MercyMe

We're glad you are part of K-LOVE, and we're praying for God's amazing love and peace to strengthen you -

God bless,

I told my secrets in a meeting. I told everyone...  The world didn't end and I actually felt a lot better. This is the begining of a huge change. I can feel it. I don't really know how to explain it. Al-Anon says that we are only as sick as our secrets. I see now that is true.

Carry Me

This morning I woke up before my alarm- I didn't know what time it was. I just knew that there was a song stuck loudly in my head. It was "Good To Be Alive"... I didn't know that- All I heard was the sentence, "I wanna live like there's no tomorrow... Love like I'm on borrowed time..." over and over again. I rolled over and found my phone, checked the time, and blurrily typed those words into the notepad... I thought to myself that I had another two whole hours to sleep if I wanted, and was quite pleased. I went back to sleep.

When I woke up again, I had a different song. It was "Carry Me" by Josh Wilson.  I had heard him say on the radio that he wrote this song while battling severe anxiety... I thought it was pretty cool and quite brave that he would admit that to the whole world. When I tell people I have issues with anxiety or that I am considering taking meds for it, they look at me like they need to hide their children from me...  How many times have I wished that I had a broken leg, or lost a limb, or had some disease that ravages my appearance- so that people would believe that there was actually something wrong with me... If an illness has to do with your emotions or your mind, then it's weird and unnatural.... So I was very proud of this guy for saying all of this out loud on the radio.

And just like in the rooms- I had this feeling that someone else understood. That I wasn't crazy or defective or unworthy because of what I suffered from. This guy is famous and loved by millions, and he battles the same demon I do... So, while it isn't my favorite song musically or lyrically, really- I am always moved when I hear it come on the radio.

And, although I don't know why yet, this is one of the songs that was given to me this morning.

Carry Me

Josh Wilson

I try to catch my breath
It hasn't happened yet
I'm wide awake in the middle of the night scared to death
So I prayed God, would You make this stop
Father please hold on to me, You're all I've got

Carry me, carry me, carry me now
From my sinking sand to Your solid ground
The only way I'm ever gonna make it out
Is if You carry me, carry me, carry me now
God carry me, carry me, carry me now

Jesus calm my heart
Come near me please
Lord don't let these worries get the best of me
Oh I believe, that You're still here with me
Cause You meant what You said when You said You'd never leave

Carry me, carry me, carry me now
From my sinking sand to Your solid ground
The only way I'm ever gonna make it out
Is if You carry me, carry me, carry me now
God carry me, carry me, carry me now

Carry me
God carry me
Carry me
God carry me

I'm at the end of myself
I know I've got nothing left
Feels like I'm stuck in the valley of the shadow of death
And I've been down here so long
I just can't find my way out
Oh God I don't stand a chance
Unless You carry me now
God carry me now

Carry me, carry me, carry me now
From my sinking sand to Your solid ground
The only way I'm ever gonna make it out
Is if You carry me, carry me, carry me now
God carry me, carry me, carry me now

Carry me now
Carry me now
Carry me now
Carry me now

Good To Be Alive

"Good To Be Alive"

Hold on

Is this really the life I'm living?

Cause I don't feel like I deserve it

Every day that I wake, every breath that I take you’ve given

So right here, right now

While the sun is shining down

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow

Love like I'm on borrowed time

It's good to be alive, yeah

Hold on

If the life that we've been given

Is made beautiful in the living

And the joy that we get brings joy to the heart of the giver

Then right here, right now

This is the song I'm singing out

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow

Love like I'm on borrowed time

It's good to be alive

[x2]

I won’t take it for granted

I won’t waste another second

All I want is to give you

A life well lived, to say “thank you”

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow

Love like I'm on borrowed time

It's good to be, it's good to be alive

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow

Love like I'm on borrowed time

It's good to be alive

I won’t take it for granted

I won’t waste another second

All I want is to give you

A life well lived, to say “thank you”

Glory and Honour

This morning, There was only one song in my head. No matter how many times I woke up throughout the night and fell back asleep, it was only this song, every time... It is the song I am singing as a solo on Sunday... What's weird is that I didn't practice yesterday at all. I did listen to K-Love before bed, but this is the song I woke up with. Maybe God is putting it in my head so that I will practice it before rehearsal tonight? Or maybe I need to pay more attention to the words? 

Glory and Honour

We are the servants of the only King.  He is worthy.

Given dominion over everything.  He is worthy.

We will declare it with one voice.

We will stand up and make a holy noise,

And make a holy noise.

Glory and honor, glory and power,

Glory and honor unto the Lamb!

Glory and honor, glory forever,

Glory and honor unto the Lamb!

We offer Him a sacrificial praise. He is worthy.

No one among us is above His grace. He is worthy.

We will declare it with one voice.

He has become the reason we rejoice,

The reason we rejoice!

chorus 

Glory, honor and power be to the Lamb of God forever ... and ever.

Glory, honor and power be to the Lamb of God forever ... and ever.

Glory, honor and power be to the Lamb of God forever and ever.  

And ever

Forever!

The Son of Heaven who would die for us, He is worthy.

Eternal Word of God alive in us, He is worthy.

We will declare it with one voice.

We will declare that we have made our choice

And make a holy noise!

chorus

Glory and honor, glory and power,

Glory and honor unto the Lamb!

Glory and honor, glory forever,

Glory and honor unto... unto the Lamb!

Unto the Lamb!

Glory and honor- unto the lamb! 

Unto the Lamb!

This song was not given to me in the morning... It came on the radio while I was getting ready to leave the house. My mind was full and noisy- thinking of all the events of the last few days, and wondering if I could ever hope to get far enough away from my past to hope that I could really start over. Thinking that no matter what everyone says, I just wasn't sure that I could ever deserve to be forgiven or accepted or be allowed to leave it behind... Then, as I was walking out of the bathroom, I heard the words, "Hello, my name is regret.." from behind me. I stopped walking and turned around and stared at the radio... I just stood there, frozen, listening to the words:

Hello, My Name Is

Matthew West

Hello, my name is regret
I'm pretty sure we have met
Every single day of your life
I'm the whisper inside
That won't let you forget

Hello, my name is defeat
I know you recognize me
Just when you think you can win
I'll drag you right back down again
‘Til you've lost all belief

These are the voices, these are the lies
And I have believed them, for the very last time

Hello, my name is child of the one true King
I've been saved, I've been changed, 
And I have been set free
“Amazing Grace” is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true King

I am no longer defined
By all the wreckage behind
The one who makes all things new
Has proven it's true
Just take a look at my life

What love the Father has lavished upon us
That we should be called His children
I am a child of the one true King

I stayed home from work again today. Still sick. I woke up when my alarm went off (forgot to turn it off) and got a song then- then went back to sleep, and when I woke up on my own later, I got this song... What amazes me about this so much- besides the needed and appropriate messages that the song send me- is the fact that many of these songs are ones that I haven't heard in months and months. It isn't like I was just listening to them right before I went to bed.

Fall Apart

Josh Wilson

Why in the world did I think I could 
Only get to know You when my life was good
When everything just falls in place 
The easiest thing is to give You praise 

Now it all seems upside down 

(Chorus)
'Cause my whole world is caving in 
But I feel You now more than I did then 
How can I come to the end of me 
And somehow still have all I need
God, I want to now You more 
Maybe this is how it starts 
I find You when I fall apart 

Blessed are the ones who understand 
We got nothing to bring but empty hands
Nothing to hide and nothing to prove
Our heartbreak brings us back to You 

And it all seems upside down 

Chorus

I don't know how long this will last 
I'm praying for the pain to pass 
But maybe this is the best thing 
That has ever happened to me
