It’s Friday: “Empty Me Out” by Liz Vice

Friday, 10 October 2014 | Blog, It's Friday

Liz Vice talks about the song “Empty Me Out” from her first album “There’s a Light” (which is available for download on NoiseTrade).

If you like soul music you will love Liz’s voice and the rhythm of this song.

Lyrics:

Empty me out / Fill me with You
Lord there is nothing / I can give to You
I lay down my life / Here at Your feet
You give me life / So completely

 

I died with You / Was buried with You
The moment I believed
I rose with You / Ascended with You
Into the Heavenlies
Lord, it’s not me / It’s You inside of me
Jesus, You are all / These eyes can see

 

It’s Friday: “Emmanuel” from Martin Smith

A new video from Martin Smith reminding us that God is with us:

You are here in the hurricane
You carry me through the driving rain
All I need to know is You are with me

 

You are here in the desert sun
And in Your shadow where I belong
All I need to know is You are with me

 

We believe that our God will keep us ’til the very end

 

You are here, You are here, Emmanuel
You are here, You are here, Emmanuel
You will stand by our side, Emmanuel
You abide with us, Emmanuel

You might like to know that Martin is appearing in Manchester on the 10th December 2014.

What must it be like to be a Christian living in Baghdad, Iraq?

What must it be like to be the Vicar to those people and also to work for peace between Sunni and Shia Muslim communities?

What must it be like to do all of this with the debilitating disease multiple-sclerosis?

That’s what Canon Andrew White, The Vicar of Baghdad does.

Andrew is also in twitter: @vicarofbaghdad.

Recently vice.com produced a series of 3 short films documenting Andrew’s life; they are inspirational, challenging and heart-wrenching:
