I have always loved STILL STANDING, even when Israel Houghton did it in the Alive in South Africa album. It was brilliant!

The song is an upbeat song and its another great song written by Cindy Cruse Ratcliff and Israel Houghton!! Woo Hoo … loved it! I like what they did this time in Free To Worship’s recording.

The song was slightly slower (or felt slower) and they threw in a medley to a Hymn!! Yes .. trust Lakewood to do great things like that in familiar songs.

Still Standing is the second song in the CD, and the medley only jumped into a two liner from a Hymn. It proclaims

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand

Yups … we stand on Christ our Rock, and when we are Standing with Jesus .. nothing .. and nothing can shake us!! I love the truth that is always potrayed in the songs that Israel writes. So if you’ve not done this song yet …. listen to it in the video below and go teach it in your church this week!! WOO HOO!!! I’m STILL STANDING! !

Lyrics STILL STANDING
Chords - here

Verse1
You gave me courage to believe
That all Your goodness I would see
And if it had not been for You standing on my side
Where would I be

Chorus
If not for your goodness
If not for your grace
I don’t know where I would be today
If not for your kindness
I never could say I’m still standing
If not for your mercy
If not for your Love
I most likely would have given up
If not for your favour
I never could say I’m still standing
But by the grace of God

Verse2
To You I lift my offering
And set my heart on higher things
For if it had not been for You Standing on my side
Where would I be?

Bridge
I’m still standing
I’m still standing
I’m still standing
But by the grace of God
(Repeat)

Hymn
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand

I’ve been listening to Free To Worship for the last 10 days in my car!! Its absolutely brilliant, i wish i have more time to comment on the worship blog, cos i’ve got so many things to say on the songs and the arrangements and the medleys that Lakewood church did!! So so so so good!!

Wanna draw your attention to their theme song .. Free To Worship written by Israel Houghton & Da’Dra Greathouse (u can see her sing the song in the video below); its a great worship song, which talks about our freedom to express our love and worship unto God, that there should not be anything that will hold us back or put fear in our hearts when approaching our Almighty God!

Song : Free To Worship
Lyrics below
Chords : Still looking

Verse1
Once far away
Now, I’m here to stay
Close to your heart
When I made mistakes
I thought You’d turn away
But, now I know
You have redeemed me by grace
The distance has been erased

Chorus
Now I’m Free
To worship You, Lord
With all of my soul
And everything within me
I’m free to worship You, here
Casting out fear
Your love draws me near
to worship You

Draw me close, Draw me close

Verse2
Once I believed
(that) I could never be
Close to Your heart
Now, I know the truth
I belong to You
Yes, I know
You have redeemed me by grace
The distance has been erased

Bridge
Jesus, I will not fear
I will not fear
Draw me close, Draw me close
Jesus, I will not fear
I will not fear
Draw me close, Draw me close

Chorus (Ending)
Now I’m free to lift up my hands
I know who I am
I know I am free to worship
I will not fear, I will not fear
Draw me close, Draw me close

Love this new song from Lakewood Church. I believe its Cindy Ratcliff leading it, and it sounds like an Israel Houghton type of a song. And when you listen to it .. its directly ministers to your heart!!!

I think Everywhere I Go will be a hit just like Friend of God, You Are Good … and the likes.

I don’t think this song is out on any CD yet, but its sung in Lakewood Worship Services. Watch the video below and be blest by the SONG!!

Watch the video below and sing & worship along!!

And i am yours and you are mine
Oh Oh

Chorus
You promise me
You’ll never leave
You promise me
I’m never forsaken
And I believe that goodneess
And mercy will follow me
Surrounding me where I go
Everywhere that i go

You Lord are as shield about me

Awesome, was really glad to stumble on this youtube website that featured three quality videos of Darlene and Cindy. Wow .. i mean i love the songs from Hillsong, and i also love the songs from Lakewood Church. (For those who do not know, that’s where Israel Houghton is from as well, and he did a couple of albums with Cindy Cruse Ratcliff).

Anyway, the videos are three parts recordings of the church service at Lakewood Church (Houston, Texas), each video is about 10mins long in playback time. You also get to see Lakewood’s pastor, Pastor Joel Osteen and his entire Church, its huge, with two teams of Choir in the background and a huge Band (pretty full).

Therefore the buffering will take a while. But i would say be patient and it will definitely be worth the wait.

Here are the links of the three videos and I’ve also embeded them on this blog.

Video 1 : Darlene & Cindy singing Salvation Is Here & The Freedom We Know

Video 2 : Darlene & Cindy singing Your Love & At The Cross

Video 3 : Darlene & Cindy singing None But Jesus & Turn It Around

The videos are great, the combination of Darlene Zschech and Cindy Cruse Ratcliff are just fabulous. I hope you’ll enjoy them like i did and be blest as i was.

Just for additional info, I will give you the album links for each of the songs above.

1. Salvation Is Here [Hillsong : [Hillsong : Mighty To Save : Sample]
2. The Freedom We Know [Hillsong : Mighty To Save : Sample]
3. Your Love [not sure about this one!]
4. At The Cross [Hillsong : Mighty To Save : Sample]
5. None But Jesus [Hillsong : Mighty To Save : Sample]
6. Turn It Around [Israel & New Breed : Alive in South Africa :Sample]
