Sing!!
Begin your day, wake up, with a song on your ♥
"My strength is found when I wait upon you. Watch over me, God, for you are my mountain fortress; you set me on high! But as for me, your strength shall be my song of joy. At each and every sunrise, my lyrics of your love will fill the air! For you have been my glory-fortress, a stronghold in my day of distress. O my strength, I sing with joy your praises. O my stronghold, I sing with joy your song! O my Savior, I sing with joy the lyrics of your faithful love for me!" Psalms 59:9,16-17 TPT
The one secret that will help you enjoy your journey—is having a song to sing along the way. What we've discovered is the absolute best song is choosing a love song to sing to Him. By singing a "love" song, rather than a "praise" song, which you may be used to—you'll discover how much it helps you understand the deeper relationship the Lord wants to have with you.
And, by singing, it will also help you to travel along joyfully, as you begin understanding that your Husband is right there—right next to you!
You’ll understand that He is not far away, looking down from heaven, but instead, He's right with you!!
So, again, rather than singing praise music, begin singing a love song, which will help you feel Him there beside you, deepening your relationship with Him even more—helping you heal, feeling Him guiding you. And if you listen to it over and over again, you'll find yourself singing it throughout your day and even when you wake in the middle of the night—leaving you with a smile on your face!! “She smiles at the future” (Proverbs 31:25).
The song we'd suggest for each part of your journey is below. However, if any song is familiar to you and it reminds you of your EH or another man, then we ask that you stop and ask the Lord to show you another song. The last thing you want to do is to be unfaithful to your Husband by being reminded of another man, right?
If any we suggest isn't really your music style or if English isn't your first language and you'd prefer another song, it's wonderful when you let Him show you "Your" song. Be sure it's a love song, and be especially conscious [mindful] of the lyrics, the words you'll be sowing into your mind and emotions. Emotions are the key to feeling your heart swell when you think of Him. So, for the song to fit, you might ask Him if another performer sings the same song that will make you enjoy hearing and singing it to Him even more!
SONGS for Restoration Journey Courses 1-3
Course 1: Renew To set the mood, we'd like you to stop to listen to a song. The song we'd suggest for this part of your journey is "Roads." It will help you remember this is a journey the Lord has called you to travel along and understand that no matter what difficulties you encounter HE will bring you through, leading you home. So wake up early, set out early, and allow Him to lead you.
Course 2: Rebuild To set the mood for this portion of your RJ, we'd like you to stop to listen to a song. The song we'd suggest for this part of your journey is "Because You Loved Me." We chose this song to help you think of and remind yourself of everything your Heavenly Husband has done for you. Sing it to Him and we promise, it’ll make your heart soar and will bring tears to your eyes as you realize how precious He’s become to you.
Course 3: Restore As we hope you've experienced by having a Love Song to sing to our Husband who now you know is right there—right next to you— no longer seeing Him far away, looking down from heaven—but right there with you!! Again we have a song for you.
The song we'd suggest for this part of your journey is "Unforgettable." Yet again, if this song is familiar and should it remind you of your EH or another man, then we ask that you stop and ask the Lord to show you another song so you never are unfaithful to your Husband.

SONGS for our ABUNDANT LIFE Courses 1-4
Abundant Life Course 1
Why was "Anyone At All" Chosen for Finding the Abundant Life? Begin by reading through the lyrics. Maybe read them as you sing, keeping Him in your mind, like you were singing it right to Him.
By this point in your Restoration Journey, your First Love is the now the Lord. You have let go of your EH and feel HIS love with you—surrounding you, healing you. At this point you realize that no one will ever fill this place in your heart. He is the One you’ve hoped for, not just a temporary replacement for who you’d rather have. Also by this point, His words to you are being whispered into your heart, not just His written Word, found in the bible or devotionals.
Anyone At All
Funny how I feel more myself with You
Than anybody else that I ever knew
I hear it in Your voice, see it in Your face
You've become the memory I can't erase
You could have been anyone at all
A stranger falling out of the blue
I'm so glad it was You
It wasn't in the plan, not that I could see
Suddenly a miracle came to me
Safe within Your arms, I can say what's true
Nothing in the world I would keep from You
You could have been anyone at all
An old friend calling out of the blue
I'm so glad it was You
Words can hurt You, if You let them
People say them and forget them
Words can promise, words can lie
But Your Words make me feel like I can fly
You could have been anyone at all
A net that catches me when I fall
I'm so glad it was You
You could have been anyone at all
An old friend calling out of the blue
I'm so glad it was You
Anyone at all
You could have been anyone at all
Anyone at all
Anyone at all
So glad it was You
Abundant Life Course 2
Why was "I Only Have Eyes for You" Chosen for Living the Abundant Life? Begin by reading through the lyrics. Maybe read them as you sing, keeping Him in your mind, like you were singing it right to Him.
I Only Have Eyes for You
My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but You
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'Cause I only have eyes for You, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for You
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue, You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for You
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue, You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes, yes I only have eyes
I only have eyes for You, only have eyes for You
Only have eyes for You, only for You
COMMENTARY
My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but You
Often we follow our HH along by faith, which He says is unseen
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'Cause I only have eyes for You, dear
Be sure you no longer call Him by His given name, because just as you would with an EH when you’re IN LOVE we instead begin to have a more loving name for our Heavenly Love.
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for You
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue, You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
Have you felt that? Maybe in a previous relationship, but have you felt it with the Lord? That you’re not even aware of anyone one else around you OR where you are because your focus is all on Him and His love? If not, try singing this and imagine yourself walking in a garden and also on the busiest street in NYC to really feel yourself strolling along with Him.
Abundant Life Course 3
Why was "A Moment Like This" Chosen for Poverty Mentality? Begin by reading through the lyrics. Maybe read them as you sing, keeping Him in your mind, like you were singing it right to Him.
A Moment Like This
What if I told you it was all meant to be
Would you believe Me, would you agree?
It's almost that feeling we met before (and gone through difficulties together)
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you Love has come here and now
A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Everything changes but Beauty remains
Something so tender, I can't explain
Well, I may be dreaming but till I awake
Can't we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love we share
A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Could this be the greatest love of all
I wanna know that You will catch me when I fall
So let me tell You this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Oh, moment like this, moment like
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Oh, like this
Being “chosen” to go through difficulties, trials, that would normally cause someone to panic, is actually HIM calling you to go through the fire— where He will be right there next to you! “But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods” (Daniel 3:25 ESV).
Whether your fire is financial or something like battling a painful illness, in that MOMENT, look around. Don’t focus on the flames, the heat or how far you may have fallen, but instead sing and let your heart burst with admiration knowing He’s so close to you—LOVE that people search for all their lives!!
A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

Of those things that you were told to please you
De ces choses qu'on t'a dit pour te plaire
These promises advance to seduce
Ces promesses avancent pour séduire
is there any better than we can do,
il y en a t'il de meilleur que l'on puisse faire,
a love that nothing can destroy.
un amour que rien ne peut détruire.
If you want to know what to give me for my trouble
Si tu veux savoir quoi me donner pour ma peine
Reassure yourself I do not want anything at all
Rassure-toi je ne veux presque rien du tout

Que toujours et plus encore,
I'm the only one you love,
Je soit la seule que tu adores,
That's all,
C'est tout,
That's all.
C'est tout.
