Oh Lord, please take my hands To use for Your work Oh Lord, please take my feet To walk with You side by side Oh Lord, please take my gifts That I offer from my heart Please take my abilities Given with joy for Your purpose Oh Lord, please take my voice To sing Your blessings Please take my lips To speak about Your glory.

Praise the Father for sending His Son To come to earth to save us from sin; By His death, and resurrection in 3 days, His plan was perfectly fulfilled. Hallelujah! I know for sure That He saved my soul and freed me from sin; Now I have hope and a grateful heart, Offering my life to Him with joy. He’s calling me, what a beautiful sound, A sweet invitation, filled with love; His Word is so gentle as He draws near to me. So I’ve decided to serve Him As a faithful priest Through the five art forms, Beautiful offerings to please Him forever.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives, And freedom to prisoners; To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; Giving to all those who mourn Garlands instead of ashes; To comfort those who are suffering— In place of ashes, giving garlands. To grant those who mourn in Zion, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting, So they will be called oaks of righteousness; They will be called the planting of the Lord, That He may be glorified.

Jonah song 02:04
Jonah, Jonah, Oh Jonah! Go to the city of Nineveh. Take My Word to them, And tell them to stop sinning. Jonah, Jonah, Oh Jonah! Go to the city of Nineveh. Oh no, Oh no, I’ll not go! I’ll catch a boat and go far away. Your work does not please me, So I will run and hide from You. Oh no, Oh no, I’ll not go! I’ll catch a boat and go far away. Lord, Lord, Oh Lord! The fish swallowed me! Please help me! The waves are so strong they woke me up. I know I’m wrong. Please forgive me. Lord, Lord, Oh Lord! The fish swallowed me! Please help me! Jonah, Jonah, Oh Jonah! Go to the city of Nineveh. Take My Word to them, And tell them to stop sinning. Lord, Lord, Oh Lord! I’m going! I’m on my way!

Word of God 01:56
I depend on the Word of God That makes my soul alive. I’ve decided to follow Him, Who leads me forward, no turning back. If the earth and the sky pass away, The Word of God never changes; It counsels and encourages me To trust only in His Word.
10.
Dew of Life 03:47
The bud appears as the dew drops on the flower stem; The aroma stimulates, the sight excites, But with the day’s heat, the flower wilts and the perfume fades away, And the moist, soft appearance becomes dry and brittle. Human life is often like that flower, The heart keeps changing, never receiving the truth, Trying so hard to embrace a world that is not stable, Producing a life that has no meaning. Only Jesus is the Living God; Only He can save you from despair; He is the Heavenly Dew making your life fresh; He is the wonderful gift from heaven. So therefore only Jesus is the Dew of Life, Sprinkled upon you to revive you from death. Your life in Him will never wilt or disappoint, Because life in Him has meaning forever.

Psalm 150 09:25
Come everyone, stand up and praise the Lord! Come to play instruments to praise the powerful God! Raise your voices and dance! Shake your timbrels, Make them sound, Sing out loud and dance To the beautiful song. Brothers and sisters, don’t delay. Stop seeking after the world And praise the Lord! Raise your hands and worship the Highest God, For He is the Lord. His power, nothing can compare. Believe in Him and have hope. With smiling faces and happy hearts, Keep shaking your timbrels To proclaim good news to sinners.

about

Garlands for Ashes tells the story of a community of children in Phnom Penh rescued from unimaginable situations, who are nurtured back to life, given hope and an artistic voice. On this CD and DVD they perform dances and compose songs of life based on the wonderful traditions of their land.

In the 1970’s, during the devastating years of the Pol Pot dictatorship, the beautiful traditions of Cambodia’s artistic community were systematically silenced. In the people’s struggle to survive starvation and brutality in the killing fields, their suppressed creative story lay dormant. Today, the arts are flourishing again, ornate costumed dancers tell their story through intricate hand movements and Khmer music floods the airwaves.

Included in this package is a DVD which will take you to see the very heart of the Cambodian Christian Arts community so you can experience in video and pictures, sounds, songs and dances, the Khmer people of Cambodia.

Proceeds from this product will directly support the CCAM community.
