THE ANGELS CRY

Holy is the One Who Sits upon the Throne.
The Heavens are his tent and the Universe his home.
The beauty of creation made by His Voice.
The one who’s Spirit gives the breath of life.

The Angels cry Holy, Holy, Holy.
The Angels cry and so do I.

There are shattered dreams in this fallen world.
The Angels cry Holy, Holy, Holy.
The Angels cry and so do I.

A Baby gives a last goodbye.
A mother weeps for her child.
The Angels cry Holy, Holy, Holy.
The Angels cry and so do I.

In the midst of pain let your name be glorified.
Beyond this grief there is a master plan.
The Angels cry Holy, Holy, Holy
The Angels cry and so do I.

In His hands He holds a broken heart together.
He sends his peace that surpasses understanding.
Worthy is the One who’s greater than all wisdom.

The Angels cry Holy, Holy, Holy
The Angels cry and so do I.

In the midst of night, darkness surrounds me.
Jesus you are my guiding light.
The Angels cry and so do I.

Circumstance doesn’t change fact
 The angels cry Holy, Holy, Holy
The angels cry and so do I.

I can see God’s beauty in the face of Christ.

The Angels cry Holy, Holy, Holy
The Angels cry and so do I.

Lord let Christ be seen in me.
Help me to hear the whisper of your Spirit’s wind
Let your name be glorified with the works of my hands.

The Angels cry Holy, Holy, Holy
The Angels cry and so do I.
Holy is the Lord Who was and is to come…Holy and Perfect is He. He gazes into Eternity.
There Virtue will set you free.

The Angels cry Holy, Holy, Holy
The angels cry and so do I.

The Spillover



It seems like you can’t turn on your television or read a newspaper without hearing about border violence. Americans sit back and watch and shake their heads, unaware of a solution. Many are scared and frustrated. We see it. We hear about this violence that is spilling over. Are we safe? Are our children safe? The answer is no. We are not safe and if things keep on happening as they are it will touch us personally sooner or later. We wait silently waiting for a Savior (government officials) to step in and solve the problem. I was born and raised here in the Rio Grande Valley. I am often in awe of all of the churches that we have here. It seems like there is one on every street corner but yet hardly any members go out beyond the comfort of their church walls. We are living in a time where we don’t need to be scared or frustrated. We need to act. It is time for the church to cross denominational lines. It is time for the body of Christ to Unite. Has anyone ever heard the expression, “Divide and conquer? We have been defeated and divided for too long.
So many times we pray for God to send the laborers to spread his word. But we must realize WE are the laborers. So many times we pray for God to raise a standard. But We are the Standard! WE are the standard of morality and what we are accepting as a society is corrupting the morality of the next generation. God says that when the enemy rushes in like a flood that He will raise a standard against it. Did you really think that he wouldn’t ask us to get our hands dirty? We must stand for truth. It seems overwhelming and with no place to start. But let’s start with standing for what’s right. Let’s start with speaking for those that can’t speak for themselves. Let’s start with compassion. Let’s start with not being cowardly and let’s replace it with boldness. Let’s live a life of purity and worship in the midst of a crooked generation. Let’s put all filthiness aside and put on our robe of righteousness. It’s time to walk in Kingdom Authority. Let’s be The Church.



"When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up A standard against him." Isaiah 59:19
