Here's my blog!!! Enjoy the read!!! http://closer-than-your-heartbeat.blogspot.com/ Hey, y'all! I've found CCLI to be a very useful tool. And it's the only way songwriters are paid by churches for their loving labor:) (and, yes, churches are trusted to record which songs are used!!!!) I'd like to encourage my songwriting friends to join CCLI and keep the records up-to-date...the songs I've received royalties for were not my favorite songs...or voted most likely to succeed!!! They are simple songs of faith!!! Your reward in Heaven will be great...yes...the scripture does say that... but it also says something about being worthy of your hire!!! It's ok to receive cents/per song/per use...it's ok to reCEIVE that blessing!!!! CCLI's Vision: To establish a strong communication network serving the Body of Christ, which enables the dispensing of comprehensive and valuable informational, inspirational resources, both primary and secondary in origination. CCLI's Mission Statement: To encourage the spirit of worship through music to the local church collectively and to Christians individually, so that they may enhance their worship expression spontaneously, conveniently, affordably, and legally. Here are some songs I have listed with CCLI...the lyrics are available through CCLI. I am working on posting all of these songs here on shoutlife. www.ccli.com Arise And Shine (c)2006 Eva J.

Story behind the song
I appreciate Mitch and Stephen helping me to express this true story! Samantha Trenholm did an amazing job bringing the words to life! But most of all, I thank the Lord for a new start in my life, that day and every day. It was a long day at the hospital, but God offered hope as I anticipated the birth of my son on 9/11/01. As I waited for the doctor to induce my labor, I spent about an hour with the Lord in prayer and Bible study. Then I turned on the TV, thinking I'd catch a morning show. Just as most of you had to decide what to think and feel that day, I faced a crossroads. It was lifechanging for me. Seems trivial to say I will never be the same. But the losses to the thousands of families truly IS NOT IN VAIN. We will never forget. My son was born at 2:50 in the afternoon...I watched and prayed all day and prayed all night for what seemed like days. Now, about 5 years later, the Lord impressed on my heart to share this story:
Lyrics
December Rain © 2006 words Mitch Townley/Eva Wilson/music Stephen Miller Vocals: Samantha Trenholm (v1) My little man is gettin' tall right before my eyes Lately we're both feelin' growin' pains He was born on 9/11, people ask me all the time What was it like havin' him that day (chorus) Like being caught out in the rain A deep December rain Cut down to the bone By a desperate kind of cold That steals your breath away Held my baby close through the night Wonderin' if his life would be alright Or like December rain (v2) When he's outside playing fireman with the garden hose My heart gets lost in his carefree smile I think about ordinary folks who became heroes And Miss Liberty with tears in her eyes (chorus) She was caught out in a rain A deep December rain Cut down to the bone By a desperate kind of cold That steals your breath away We held our children through the night Wond'rin' if their lives would be alright Or like December rain (bridge) You can't find a rainbow in a dark December sky But children like my little man are one reason why We weather all the storms in life and give it one more try And thank the Lord for turnin' the world around another time..... (chorus) Through December rains The deep December rains..... When you're cut down to the bone By a desperate kind of cold That steals your breath away Lord, keep us close through the night And hold us tight Through our December rains Yes, lead us through our December rains
