There is no room for darkness in our lives! I love it – it is soooo true!!! This song brings tears to my eyes – because it says all the things that I FEEL! I love this article of faith spoken in so many languages – you can feel the spirit declare it’s truth. The list of things – they are perfect – did I say that I LOVE this song already??!! I really do!!
These lyrics to this song could be titled – these are ALL of my favorite things!!!
JENNY PHILLIPS – “WE SEEK AFTER THESE THINGS” LYRICS
The snow-capped mountains
The crashing oceans
The fiery sunset lighting up the sky
The sound of laughter
A child’s wonder
Heaven captured in a newborn’s eyes
Music filling you
The spirit teaching truth
Gazing at a million stars in the sky
[Chorus:]
Our mighty God has given us
So much good to find
There’s just no room for darkness in our lives
If there is anything that’s praiseworthy
Anything that’s virtuous or lovely
We seek after these things
The birds gliding through the sky
Rain on the roof at night
The morning sunlight breaking through the clouds
Helping one in need
Knowledge growing as you read
Working hard as you feel your heart pound
Claiming what we knew
Love burning in our souls
Praying in secret and singing out loud
[Chorus]
Our mighty God has given us
So much good to find
There’s just no room for darkness in our lives
If there is anything that’s praiseworthy
Anything that’s virtuous or lovely
We seek after these things
Dancing, flying, running, smiling (Reaching, loving, sharing)
Dancing, flying, running, smiling (Reaching, loving, sharing)
Dancing, flying, running, smiling (Reaching, loving, sharing)
(The blue, blue sky, the mountains high)
Green grass beneath my feet
The wind blowing through the trees
Feeling peace inside of me
We seek after these things
Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to watch a rebroadcast of the YW meeting. I love Jenny Phillips music. I have a couple of her CDs and we love them. I'll have to get her new CD.
Great song! Jenny Phillips is so good.
Jenny is going to come and visit me here this summer, so I will say hi to her for you! Ok, she is not coming to visit ME, but she is coming and I am on the PR committee, so we will meet. I also love her music and her message and the wonderful spirit it brings!
We used her song Live Like You Believe for our Women's Conference theme last month in Hong Kong and it was inspirational!
