Beautiful clip of a group of Ugandan Jewish children singing with life, passion, and fun!

Wonderfully Made – sung and recorded by Demetria Zinga

This song was originally written and performed by Bryan Wilson, and has been instrumental in encouraging me over the years with self esteem and security.  I took out my keyboard and my recording equipment one evening and decided to sit down to record my own home spun version of Bryan’s wonderful song.

I pray that you enjoy this song as much as it has been helpful to me.

Speak For Me

I love the song “Speak For Me” by Jaci Velasquez…

This song has inspired my vision and kindled in me my purpose since my early twenties.

This song brings back memories of the good times and intimate moments shared with my Savior as Yeshua/Jesus taught me how He would speak through me.

He promised to lead me, guide me, and direct my steps.

He also promised that if I opened my mouth, He would fill it.

Although I was extremely shy, He promised that one day, if I would trust Him, He would begin to give me a holy boldness that I never dreamt possible.

So here I am, Lord…Your willing vessel.

“Speak through me, this my plea.  Say the words I can’t express…speak through me a Heavenly melody, that the people will be blessed…” Jaci Velasquez

A song about Jesus

Filed under Hebraic and Jewish Roots, Worship

This song amazes me! Jesus is SO beautiful! As I remember Him this Passover week, I cannot help but to think on Him more, talk about Him more, listen to Him more, commune with Him more often.

When I think of all that He has done for us, I cannot help but to wonder how much we are giving Him back in terms of our committed hearts.

————

God is not some distant cosmic being who is far removed from the everyday life of us mere mortals.

He is not accessible only to a select few, nor is the criteria for meeting Him based on race, age, gender, location, intellect or anything else, other than a sincere heart that seeks Him.

He provided the way to come directly to Him when He sent His son, Jesus to earth to bring salvation to all people. Jesus bridged the chasm between God & man, opening the doorway to God’s throne room.

FOREVER. UNLIMITED ACCESS. 24/7. He’s always on call, never too busy and always welcoming.

So for those who have accepted Christ’s invitation of salvation, there comes the assurance of His abiding presence in their lives, His willingness to participate in every aspect of their existence and His desire to share in every moment of their lives. From the mundane to the monumental.

Through the tragedies and the triumphs, victories and defeats, struggles and celebrations. He’s there through it all and He wants us to learn to see Him and seek Him in the midst of every circumstance. HE IS ALWAYS THERE.

Sometimes we just need our eyes opened and our spirits tuned in. I’ve found it so, and I’ve learned that some of the most profound moments with God come in the middle of everyday living. He meets us where we are and He reveals Himself in unexpected ways. We just have to be watching for Him.

  • Christ encountered the Samaritan woman at the well as she was doing her water-fetching chore. He called Matthew away from his work in the middle of a busy day.
  • He recruited the fishermen while they mended their nets, calling them to a new vocation.
  • Mary was informed that she was God’s chosen vessel while she did ordinary things on an ordinary day.
  • Moses was out tending sheep when a burning bush ushered him into the very presence of God.

The Bible is filled with these stories of God encounters during life’s common moments. Only those moments weren’t common any longer. They changed lives, they changed people, they changed history. All because God revealed Himself where and when He was least expected.

He hasn’t changed. His word tells us that He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is always faithful and He walks with us moment by moment. Our eyes are sometimes blinded by unbelief or dimmed by the rationalizations of our minds, but He is still there. He abides – in us and with us, waiting for us to recognize His hand, His presence, His beauty, His strength, His peace, His comfort, His help, His wisdom, His love, His joy, His guidance.

Let Him reveal Himself to you while you go about your day, living it as a sacrifice of praise to Him. When we worship Him in all we do, He is magnified, and we will see Him in a clearer, brighter way. We will be aware of His presence and His workings when our vision is altered, when we’re looking through the Son-glasses, instead of my-focals!

So, start watching for what God is doing in your life, and through the eyes of faith you will see!

So Holy- by Lori Bell

A few years ago I had the opportunity to interview Lori Bell for my podcast, Christian Ladies Talk Radio.  She was a pleasure to talk with – humble and yet very talented.

Lori is an extremely talented independent artist who has been singing since the age of 7. She has had many opportunities to share her talent- from the east coast to Japan, to Italy and back again.

Lori was a featured lead vocalist on a recording project by Duranice Pace of “The Anointed Pace Sisters” (CD Titled “He Did it All”) and opened concerts where Kirk Franklin and the Family and Fred Hammond and Radical for Christ were the headliners.

Where Are The Saints- song written by Demetria Zinga

January 8, 2010 by Demetria  
Filed under Singers & Songwriters, Songs I Write, Worship

I was inspired a few years ago to write this song, when I thought about God’s heart. I realized He has been looking for people to call His own, people who care about HIS heart and His desire in their lives on this earth.

God has a tremendously wonderful plan for redemption, a plan which He has already set forth on the cross on Calvary.

He also has a plan to come back for His people …and this will require a choice to be made – God or the ways of the world.

Sometimes that means we have to “fight”. We fight in the spiritual realm. When things come against us, we hold up God’s Word as our weapon against the words of the enemy. We say, “No, I won’t be defeated!”

Moving With The Lamb- sung and home recorded by Demetria Zinga

January 8, 2010 by Demetria  
Filed under Singers & Songwriters, Worship

This is a song that I love to sing because it reminds me of my place in the kingdom of God. I am “moving with the Lamb of God”. He brings me to the place I want to be and need to be, but only through my obedience to stepping in line with Hiis will. As I take step by step, my hand in His, I can move with Him, flow with Him, and ultimately reap the benefits of peace and joy in this life with Him.

Lyrics:
Moving With The Lamb

Verse:

For I’m moving with the Lamb moving with the Lamb I’m surrounded

For I’m moving with the Lamb moving with the Lamb I’m surrounded

I’m strolling with the Lamb I’m strolling with the King of Kings

Stepping with the Lamb stepping over my sins

Chorus:

For I’m dressed in a holy robe of God I’m surrounded

By the Host from Heaven’s court and the King of Kings

And I drink from the holy cup of God I’m surrounded

Bridge:

I’m moving with the Lamb

I’m strolling with the Lamb

I’m stepping with the Lamb
