Beyond the music my testimony through song
Beyond the music Testimony through song is a book to encourage, empower and motivate women and men of today. To understand how ordained, how precious and great we are as children of God. We must discover the treasure we have within us. I have gone through experiences that have taught me the importance of my life and purpose God has for me. But before I was able to come to that understanding and realization I had to believe in whom God ordained me to be and not what people labeled me. I had to know my Identity in Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (NIV)

age Of an old mentality Lord you know all that I’ve been through Living a life that was so untrue I couldn’t see right from wrong I was so confused If it wasn’t for your steadfast hand That led and kept me standing with my head held high It was your unfailing love that finally set me free
He gave me a new start a new song A new outlook to life I’m no longer prisoner to the thoughts That held me back inside Now I choose to live in a mindset That’s progressive and not destructive For that fact I know I’m free from the bond-
No longer tied to the past Your love has set me free renewed And that’s a fact ain’t no denying it

In This Life
Song of Reflection
Written By Jennifer Meade - Published By Monia Publishing (Socan/BMI) In life we all must face pain What makes you strong is not what you endure. But how you come through You told me you were going through hard times Know that it’s a test that life has thrown your way What you got to do to pass Is be the solution and not the problem And only through life challenges Can you experience change In life we all must face pain What makes you strong is not what you endure. But how you come through You said that you just want to get away I’ve heard that before The answer is not in running but confronting
The Word 1 Peter 5:10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (ESV) James 1:12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. (ESV) James 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
what you fear the most I’m talking from experience I know the cost One thing is for sure no matter how far You run the problem will never be solved In life we all must face pain What makes you strong is not what you endure. But how you come through Listen valleys are there to make you strong So you’ve got to face them head on Don’t you give up don’t you give in Till you reach the top of the mountain Hold on In life we all must face pain What makes you strong is not what you endure. But how you come through
And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (ESV)

Say & See
Song of Reflection
Written By Jennifer Meade - Published By Monia Publishing (Socan/BMI) As a human race we’re so funny Always ask for things yet not ready To receive cause we ask with such lack of belief If you ask and in your mind you’re doubting Know you’re blocking what you’re requesting So make sure you say and see And you’ll get everything you need You must focus and have faith
Then you’ll do the impossible So make sure you say and see In order to guarantee You must focus and have faith
Just say it can be done Just say you will succeed Believe in what you ask for Just believe
Just say it can be done Just say you will succeed Believe in what you ask for Just believe
There’s no way you can get anything in life If you don’t speak and visualize The secret is that you must be And you’ll receive what you believe You must focus and have faith
You’re the outcome of your belief system You get out of life what you put in The mind is a tool but if not well used Can be your doom You must see the invisible

What Matters Most In Life Song of Reflection
Written By Jennifer Meade - Published By Monia Publishing (Socan/BMI) Life has a way that it can drive you insane If you don’t know what you’re looking for She can mislead you and confuse you If you don’t know what to stand for Don’t let life get the best of you Get the best of life Face her head on and head strong Instead of passing through her back door
When in truth we should be spending each moment Creating joy and happiness Don’t let life get the best of you Get the best of life It’s in those moments that we give life meaning And connect with other beings
What matters most in life is to love And be loved To give it full meaning By connecting with God What matters most in life is to love And be loved To give it full meaning By connecting with God
What matters most in life is to love And be loved To give it full meaning By connecting with God What matters most in life is to love And be loved To give it full meaning By connecting with God Don’t let life get the best of you get the best of life
We spend our time in worry and distress Chasing after status and success

Lucy
Song of Hope
Written By Jennifer Meade - Published By Monia Publishing (Socan/BMI) Lucy is her name She portrays a victim on life’s stage Always complaining justifying Never assumes responsibility Her whole life she focused on receiving Blessings not giving As long as Lucy sees the glass half empty She won’t succeed Lucy is her name She’s a type that never stays in one place Always fighting and yelling Causes a scene wherever she goes Easily swayed by her emotions And pressures in her life As long as Lucy keeps the same attitude She won’t settle down
Lucy by speaking Change will come Doubt keeps silent But by faith you will succeed You may be asking Can Lucy change her life change her ways Yes she can if she holds to The vision she wants in her life It’s not what she does But how she thinks that will make the difference The only person who can change Lucy Is Lucy herself

The Word Psalm 103: 8-12 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. Isaiah 55:6-7 “Seek the LORD while he may be found;call upon him while he is near;let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts;let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind;love does not envy or boast;it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Quotes “There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.” Bryant H McGill “To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.” - Robert Muller “You can’t undo anything you’ve already done, but you can face up to it. You can tell the truth. You can seek forgiveness. And then let God do the rest.”- Anonymous
