In fact, if you'll share that verse in a comment here, it'll enter you in a little drawing for one of these:
"Go on up to the mountain of mercy..."
With the opening lyrics of Raise Up the Crown, you embark on a journey through the three days that changed the course of history & eternity. Beginning with "Beautiful, Scandalous Night", the album moves you through a unique experience from songs on the sacrifice of Christ (Friday), to the glorious celebration of new life (Sunday) with "Easter Song". Find a quiet place, listen from beginning to end, & reflect on the Passion, Redemption, and Glory.

This is a wonderful CD...it truly is one that you will want to add to your collection!
What's that you say? How can you pick just one favorite verse? You have several beloved verses and you simply cannot choose...
Well...how's this for a solution?
Everyone may post up to 5 of their best loved Scripture verses. My only condition is that you write the verse out in its entirety so that we may all breathe in the Word of God and worship as we read. So again, please don't just quote Book, chapter and verse, okay?
Ready...set...share! I'm looking forward to reading the verses that are on your heart. I have a feeling I'm about to be richly blessed and I hope you will be too...
I'll close this post with two of my favorite verses. The first was a favorite of both my Sweet Hubby and me. In fact, it is inscribed on our headstone.
I'll leave this post open to comments until midnight Sunday (EST) 3/21/10. The winner will be selected using, once again, the random integer thingamabob. I'll put up a post announcing the winner by noon, Monday (EST). And don't forget to include some way to contact you in one of your comments!
Oh...and did I mention that I just may have more than one CD to give away? You never know - I'm unpredictable that way!

Each time he said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,
only to be rejected," says your God.

but with deep compassion I will bring you back.
8 In a surge of anger
I hid my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness
I will have compassion on you,"

"Yes, I do Gigi. Lately with Bill's situation and my health situation I have quoted many times over and over in my mind "He can do exceedingly, abundant, above and beyond what we could ever ask or imagine". That has given me hope through our circumstances of late."
