Video: “A Message To Myself” – Roo Panes
Going to get out of here, so many voices fill this place; Society is in my solitude. Oh find me the corner of this great space! If I’d heard every word, if I’d read every line upon the shelf, I’d still need a message to myself.
Searching for the elements, the roots of a fundamental love; Been reaching out to find my solid ground, ’cause I’ve never known peace lest from above. So up in the clear, I’ll find the voice that I hold dear, and I’ll send a message to myself.

Hymn: “Amazing Grace” – Joey + Rory Feek
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; ‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me; His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the veil, a life of joy and peace.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’ve first begun.
Video: “Give Me Jesus” – Fernando Ortega (live)
In the morning, when I rise, give me Jesus.
And when I am alone, give me Jesus.
And when I come to die, give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus, give me Jesus. You can have all this world, but give me Jesus.
