new music

i'm not one to ride the bandwagon of the latest and greatest in worship music. i like worship music, but not because it's new or old or is a hymn or a praise song format or is piano-driven, guitar-driven, a cappella, etc. i love God and it is my humble honor and duty to worship Him. for me, music is a great vehicle to carry my praise to the throne.
but, there are 3 new songs that have really touched me lately. i print the lyrics here so that you too can mediate on them.

Desert Song by Brooke Fraser
This is my prayer in the desert, when all that's within me feels
dry.
This is my prayer in my hunger and need. My God is the God who
provides.
This is my prayer in the fire, in weakness or trial or pain.
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold. So, refine me,
Lord, through the flame.
This is my prayer in the battle, when triump is still on it's
way.
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ, so firm on His promise
I'll stand
I will bring praise. I will bring praise. No weapon
formed against me shall remain.
I will rejoice. I will declare, God is my victory and He is
here.
This is my prayer in the harvest, when favor and providence
flow.
I know I'm filled to be emptied again. The seed I've received I
will sow.

Fade With Our Voices by Jason Gray and Jason Ingram
After all the songs are sung and our prayers for kingdom come, did we
bring honor to the words we sang?
Does our worship have hands? Does it have feet? Does it
stand up in the face of injustice? Does our worship bow down? Does
it run deep? Is it more than a song that fades with our voices? Does
it fade with our voices?
Lord, it's You we long to please. Make our lives a melody that we
proclaim when we live in Jesus name.
Does our worship have hands? Does it have feet? Does it
stand up in the face of injustice? Does our worship bow down? Does
it run deep? Is it more than a song that fades with our voices? Does
it fade with our voices?
So, if we raise our hands high, let us also reach them out. And
if we lift our voices up, let it be the sound of love.

Remembrance by Matt Maher and Matt Redman
Oh how could it be that my God would welcome me into this
mystery?
Say "Take this bread, take this wine." Now the simple made divine for
any to receive.
by Your mercy we come to Your table.
by Your grace You are making us faithful.
Lord, we remember You--and remembrance leads us to worship.
and as we worship You, our worship leads to communion.
we respond to Your invitation, we remember You.
See His body, His blood, know that He has overcome every gtrial we will
face.
None too lost to be saved, none to broken or ashamed, all are welcome
in this place.
by Your mercy we come to Your table.
by Your grace You are making us
faithful.
Lord, we remember You--and remembrance leads us to worship.
and
as we worship You, our worship leads to communion.
we respond to Your
invitation, we remember You.
Dying, You destroyed our death. Rising, You restored our
life.
Lord Jesus, come in glory! Lord Jesus, come in glory!
