Sunday Sanity 8/16/26

 Hey Friends, 

Yesterday afternoon, Mom and I were feasting on the song written from Psalm chapter 34. It was the mana we needed for the moment! 

I apologize if my neighbor heard us singing this last night. We were having a personal worship session. I am thankful that we can worship God anytime and anywhere! 

Today, I figured that I would share this song with you. Hoping that it will also encourage your soul and give you a nugget of sanity for this Sunday. 

We both really like the Brooklynn Tabernacle version of this song. I hope you can listen to it and let these words wash over your mind. 

Psalm 34

Verse 1

I sought the Lord

And He answered me

And delivered me

From every fear

Those who look on Him

Are radiant

They'll never be ashamed

They'll never be ashamed

Verse 2

This poor man cried

And the Lord heard me

And saved me from

My enemies

The Son of God

Surrounds His saints

He will deliver them

He will deliver them

Chorus

Magnify thе Lord with me

Come exalt His namе together

Glorify the Lord with me

Come exalt His name forever

Verse 3

Oh, taste and see

That the Lord is good

Oh, blessed is He

Who hides in Him

Oh, fear the Lord

Oh, all you saints

He'll give you everything

He'll give you everything

Chorus

Magnify the Lord with me

Come exalt His name together

Glorify the Lord with me

Come exalt His name forever

Magnify the Lord with me

Come exalt His name together

Glorify the Lord with me

Come exalt His name forever

Bridge

Let us bless the Lord

Every day and night

Never-ending praise

May our incense rise

Let us bless the Lord

Every day and night

Never-ending praise

May our incense rise

Let us bless the Lord

Every day and night

Never-ending praise

May our incense rise

Let us bless the Lord

Every day and night

Never-ending praise

May our incense rise

Chorus

Magnify the Lord with me (He's worthy to be praised, exalt His name)

Come exalt His name together (Let's exalt His name, exalt His name today)

Glorify the Lord with me (Glorify His name, we exalt your name Jesus)

Come exalt His name forever (He's worthy, yes He's worthy)

Magnify the Lord with me

Come exalt His name together

(Glorify) Glorify the Lord with me (Come and exalt His name)

Come exalt His name forever (Give Him glory, give Him glory)

Verse 3 Tag

Oh, taste and see

That the Lord is good

He'll give you everything

He'll give you everything

God Bless!

Come Jesus Come

Hey Friends,

I hope you are having a great week. We survived March. Winter is behind us. Warmer weather had been teasing us. 

Through it all, we are a blessed people. I thank God for His blessings, peace and hope! Without God, we are all miserable. 

We live in a dark world that is sin-cursed. I rejoice that we, as Christians, have hope. This world is not our home. I am Heaven-bound. 

This song has lived in my brain for weeks. It is never far away from my thoughts. I find myself singing it daily. I also pray it a lot! Come, Jesus come!

Friend, if you are not a Christian and you wonder about the eternal hope that I am talking about. 

His name is Jesus! I encourage you to call on Jesus. He is waiting for you. You to can have Hope in Him!

Thanks for joining me today! Take a few moments to listen to this song and let it soak into your heart.

Odie

Come Jesus Come

Come Jesus Come lyrics © Capitol Cmg Paragon, Songs By That Dog Will Hunt

Sometimes I fall 

To my knees and pray

Come Jesus come

Let today be the day

Sometimes I feel 

Like I'm gonna break

But I'm holding on

To a hope that won't fade

Come Jesus come

We've been waiting so long

For the day You return

To heal every hurt 

And right every wrong

We need You right now

Come and turn this around

Deep down I know 

This world isn't home

Come Jesus come

There’ll be no war

And there'll be no chains

When Jesus comes

Let today be the day

He'll come for the weak

And the strong just the same

And all will believe 

In the power of His name

Come Jesus come

We've been waiting so long

For the day You return

To heal every hurt 

And right every wrong

We need You right now

(Come and turn this around) turn this around

Deep down I know 

This world isn't home

Come, Jesus, come

Come, Jesus, come

One day He’ll come

And we'll stand face to face

Come and lay it all down

'Cause it might be today

The time is right now

There's no need to wait

Your past will be washed 

By rivers of grace

Come Jesus come

We've been waiting so long

For the day You return

To heal every hurt 

And right every wrong

We need You right now

(Come and turn this around) turn this around

Deep down I know 

This world isn't home

Come, Jesus, come

Come, Jesus, come

Come, Jesus, come

Come, Jesus, come

The first and last songs are originals to us. This final song is my favorite one that my parents ever wrote together. 

Daddy could sing this song from his heart. I loved sitting near him as he sang it under the anointing of God! It was a Heavenly experience!

We never made it back to the studio to record the song before his passing. Thankfully, we had a YouTube video.

Broken pieces

That once formed my heart

I need healing

Where do I start

Lord, help me surrender

Place it all in your hands.

For you are God

And I'm just a man

Chorus

You are God

I'm just a man 

How could I ever understand

I have dreams

But you have the plan 

Cause you are God 

And I'm just a man

You are God 

And I'm just a man

2nd Verse

I can not find your purpose

But I’m still love you

I can not comprehend

But I'm gonna follow through

I don't know where we're going

But I know I can trust your hand

For You are my God

And I want to be your man

Chorus

You are God

I'm just a man

Mom and I wanted to include this song on the album. Thankfully we were able to sing it with Dad one more time! There was lots of tears shed in the process. It was difficult but amazing! Now the song comforts me. 

You can find our new album, The Next Step, by Kelly Jo and Odie today. It is available for download on all streaming platforms. You can contact us to order physical copies of the project. We have CDs and USB drives available for a donation to Boggs Family Ministries.

See you next time.

There Was Jesus Lyrics

Hey Friends, 

Thanks for visiting! We have just two more songs in this song lyrics series. It has taken me a few weeks to cover all ten songs. 

Today we are visiting track number 9. The last two songs might be the best two songs on the whole album. 

There was Jesus is a special song to us. It is a song that we have loved for a while. The words have taken on a whole new meaning to us since Dad's passing. 

No matter what situation in life we are experiencing. Jesus is always right there! Oh, what a comfort to cling to!

Ben Isaacs made this project possible. He encouraged us to keep singing and recording. He offered his production expertise and amazing equipment to us. 

He also provided amazing background vocals on 9 of the songs. We cannot adequately thank him for giving of his time and talent. We are honored that he loves us and believes in us!

On There Was Jesus, Ben made it incredible!  This song is all my Mom and a choir of Ben! We both love the way this song turned out. I tease Mom all the time. Her favorite song on the album... is the one that I do not sing on. 🤣

Below are this song's lyrics. You can find our new album, The Next Step, by Kelly Jo and Odie today. It is available for download on all streaming platforms. You can contact us to order physical copies of the project. We have CDs and USB drives available for a donation to Boggs Family Ministries.

There was Jesus

\ANTHEM OF HOPE EMI/BE ESSENTIAL SONGS EMI/ WISTERIA DRIVE EMI/CASHAGAMBLE JET MUSIC EMI

Verse 1

Every time I try to 

Make it on my own

Every time I try to stand

I start to fall

And all those lonely roads 

That I have travelled on

There was Jesus

Verse 2

When the life I built 

Came crashing to the ground 

When the friends I had 

Were nowhere to be found

I couldn't see it then

But I can see it now

There was Jesus there was Jesus 

Chorus 

In the waiting in the searching 

In the healing and the hurting

Like a blessing buried 

In my broken pieces

Every minute every moment

Where I've been 

And where I'm going

Even when I didn't know 

Or couldn't see it

There was Jesus

Verse 3

For this man who needs 

Amazing kind of grace

For forgiveness at a price 

I couldn't pay 

I'm not perfect 

So I thank God every day

There was Jesus there was Jesus 

Chorus 

In the waiting in the searching 

In the healing and the hurting

Like a blessing buried 

In my broken pieces

Every minute, every moment

Where I've been 

And where I'm going

Even when I didn't know 

Or couldn't see it

There was Jesus

Bridge

In the mountains in the Valleys 

(there was Jesus)

In the shadows of the alleys 

(there was Jesus)

In the fire, in the flood

(there was Jesus)

Always is and always was

No, I never walk alone 

Chorus

In the waiting in the searching 

In the healing and the hurting

Like a blessing buried 

In my broken pieces

Every minute every moment

Where I've been 

And where I'm going

Even when I didn't know 

Or couldn't see it

There was Jesus

There was Jesus

Higher Ground Lyrics

Hey Friends,

Thank you for coming by to see what we are up to today. We are still in Texas, and having a great time. I will tell you more about it later. 

For today, we are continuing our Next Step lyrics series. This is track number 8 on the project. 

Higher Ground is an old hymn. Again, this has been a family favorite for many years. 

We have sung this in countless services through the years. It felt right for our dong line-up this time around. 

Next Step is our latest music project. It is available for download on all streaming platforms. You can contact us to order CDs or USB drives. Click HERE to view the official album artwork. 

I will close with the song lyrics. 

 Higher Ground

 WRITER: JOHNSON OATMAN, JR. 1856-1922

 MUSIC: CHARLES H. GABRIEL 

1856-1932

Verse 1

I'm pressing on

The upward way 

New heights I’m gaining every day

Still praying as I onward bound

Lord plant my feet on higher ground

Chorus 

Lord lift me up

And let me stand

By faith on Heavens table land

A higher plain that I have found 

Lord plant my feet on higher ground

Verse 2

My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise 

And fears dismay

Though some dwell

Where these abound

My prayer my aim is higher ground

Chorus 

Lord lift me up

And let me stand

By faith on Heavens table land

A higher plain that I have found 

Lord plant my feet on higher ground

Verse 3

 I want to live above this world

Though Satan’s darts at me hurled

For faith has caught a joyful sound

The song of saints on higher ground

Verse 4

I want to scale the utmost high

And catch a gleam of glory bright

But still I’ll pray

‘til  Heaven I found 

Lord lead me on to higher ground

Chorus 

Lord lift me up

And let me stand

By faith on Heavens table land

A higher plain that I have found 

Lord plant my feet on higher ground

Tag

A higher plain that I have found 

Oh Lord plant my feet on higher ground

Close To Thee Lyrics

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by today. We are visiting our Next Step project. This is the latest music project by us, Kelly Jo and Odie.

It is available for download on all digital platforms. Contact us to order physical products. We have both cds and USB drives available. 

In our lyrics series, we have reached Close To Thee. This song was penned many years ago by our friend Bro. Jim E. Davis. 

Bro. Jim graciously allowed us to record this song! We have had a great response to the song. I think the message resonates with many people. 

We have loved this song for a long time. The message has encouraged our family for many years. We have fallen back on this song during this uncharted season we are walking in now. 

We do not know the weather forecast of life, nor where the road will lead. Our answer is to stay close to God! He is our only hope!!

Below are this song's lyrics. 

Close To Thee

WRITER: JIM E. Davis

Verse 1

Stormy weather has always 

Been a part of my life 

Sometimes it seems more 

Than I can bear 

But it doesn’t matter what the weather 

There’s one thing I know 

My sweet Jesus will always be there

Chorus 

Just to be close to thee

In the midst of the storm 

Just to stand by your side 

In the sunshine 

It doesn’t matter what the weather 

Wherever I may be

All I ask Lord is to be close to thee 

Verse 2

When the sun shines 

It’s so easy to forget about the rain 

Sometimes it seems I drift away 

Then you remind me of the last time 

You brought me through the storm

I’m so thankful 

You’re with me each day

Chorus 

Just to be close to thee

In the midst of the storm 

Just to stand by your side 

In the sunshine 

It doesn’t matter what the weather 

Wherever I may be

All I ask Lord is to be close to thee 

Tag

No it doesn’t matter 

What the weather 

Wherever I may be

All I ask Lord is to be close to thee
