Let My Life Be The Proof Of Your Love!

Hi!

Today’s Monday Motivation song comes from for King & Country with their song The Proof of Your Love! This song reminds us that our lives must show the proof of His love! When we are sharing His love with others, we are fulfilling what Jesus commands us to do.

Here is the verses that I picked:

If I sing, but don’t have love
I waste my breath with every song
I bring an empty voice, a hollow noise
If I speak with a silver tongue
Convince a crowd, but don’t have love
I leave a bitter taste with every word I say
.

So let my life be the proof, the proof of your love
Let my love look like you, and what you’re made of
How you lived, how you died
Love is sacrifice
So let my life be the proof
The proof of your love
.

Here is the music video to this song:

Here is today’s winner to our Lauren Daigle Concert Ticket Giveaway:

The song was Thank God I Do and the lyrics that needed to be filled in were:

I don’t know who I’d be if I didn’t know You,

Thank God I do.

Congratulations to Rodney of Gambier!

Jeremy Camp is back on Top!

Hi!

That’s right! Jeremy Camp is back on top for the 44th time in his career with his song These Days!

Here is my summary of the article:

Jeremy Camp Earns His 44th No. 1 Song With ‘These Days’

Jeremy Camp is back at number one for the 44th time in his career with his song ‘These Days.’ This song is described as a living-in-the-moment song that is the featured song for his album ‘Deeper Waters’. Deeper Waters topped the Billboard Top 200 Christian chart when it was released. Deeper Waters is also the highest album streaming debut of his career thus far.

This album is described as a pop-infused reflection of the past two-plus decades of his life, as well as the appreciation for the moment of the now. He also describes this as a reflection of his personal experiences, his steadfast faith, and his innate gift of storytelling.

Jeremy Camp will be performing at the Alive Music Festival in Mineral City, Ohio on Friday, July 19th.

Here is the lyric video for These Days:

Am I the only one who struggles here and now?
Am I the only one who wrestles with my doubt?
And if I tell you all my secrets, will you go runnin’ out?
There’s only one way to find out
.

We had another stumper this week, so make sure you tune in next week for that chance to win THREE $5 gift cards to Watts Restaurant!

Some hints for the artist and song:

  1. This singer was the former lead singer for Tenth Avenue North.
  2. This singer has only released one single.
  3. This song is about bringing people TOGETHER.

Thanks for listening!

We Are Made For More!

Hi!

We have a recall of a local product that we wanted to make you aware of. Classic Delight LLC of St. Mary’s, Ohio is recalling thousands of sandwhiches that might contain Listeria. To read more about which sandwiches are being affected, click HERE. This will take you to the full article regarding the recall.

Today’s Monday Motivation song comes from Josh Baldwin feat. Jenn Johnson and their song Made For More. This song reminds us that we weren’t made to be tending a grave, we are called by name, born and raised, back to life again, we are made for more! This song picks me up when I am down because I know I am made for more!

Here are the song lyrics that stood out to me:

I know who I am ’cause I know who You are
The cross of salvation was only the start
Now I am chosen, free and forgiven
I have a future and it’s worth the living.

‘Cause I wasn’t made to be tending a grave
I was called by name
Born and raised back to life again
I was made for more
So why would I make a bed in my shame
When a fountain of grace is running my way
I know I am Yours
And I was made for more.

Here is the music video for Made For More:

Our 5:00 hour song is Firm Foundation (He Won’t) by Cody Carnes. This song reminds us that Christ is our firm foundation! He is the rock that we are standing on. Without Him we are nothing!

Here are the lyrics that stood out to me:

Christ is my firm foundation
The rock on which I stand
When everything around me is shaken
I’ve never been more glad

That I put my faith in Jesus
‘Cause He’s never let me down
He’s faithful through generations
So why would He fail now?
He won’t!

Here is the lyric video for Firm Foundation (He Won’t):

Name something you might find in the grocery store dairy aisle.

  1. Milk (39)
  2. Cheese (21)
  3. Butter (18)
  4. Yoghurt (16)
  5. Sour cream (6)
