***update:***
The Ipod is ready to be shipped out.
No more songs will be selected...sorry, we're all full. :) BUT...Feel free to list the song for future reference for anyone else who might look at this list.
We were made to worship.
Our hands are tools that we raise towards heaven....we stretch them out, instinctively reaching towards the sky.
Our voices are instruments. They will never cease to praise Him. Re-read that....they will never cease to praise HIM.
Not knowing how to help my bloggy friend MARSHA, while she endures the pain of losing her 3 y.o. boy Christian, I was reminded of worship.
When I worship, I feel whole.
When I worship, I feel like I'm closer to God, and the 'things of this earth, grow strangely dim'.
I bought an IPOD tonight for Marsha. That is my gift to her.
Your gift?
A song.
Please tell me one song that you want included on the IPOD. Songs touch us so deeply. Don't list just any old song...I will veto songs that are flippantly chosen. Please pray about which song to add. Search your heart and come up with something that could help Marsha through this time, and when I send it, she will know that EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU took the time to think of her.
Thank you.

Praise You in This Storm by Casting Crowns -
it is one of the best when I am hurting.
I have been anguishing about this all day - and I am so glad you are doing this Emily.
Thanks for the chance to participate.
"Held" by Natalie Grant.
My heart has been so heavy since I heard about this last night. :(
~Leslie
oh emily that's such a wonderful, thoughtful idea. all day i've been wondering what i could do to help marsha and all i could think to do was pray. but today the song everlasting god by chris tomlin has been on my mind. these words in particular:
"You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint
You won't grow weary
You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles"
and here i am crying again.
Thank you for doing this.
How Great is Our God - Chris Tomlin
It is a great struggle to recognize this in the midst of suffering, but it is here that healing lies.
Blessed Be Your Name - Matt Redman
It was with this song that I worshipped God in the midst of losing our baby.
"Blessed be your name,in the land that is plentiful, where your streams of abundance flow, Blessed be your name.
Blessed be your name, when the road's marked with suffering, when there's pain in the offering, blessed be your name."
It hurts to sing it, but there's nothing so sweet.

Brilliant idea Em. I'm thinkin....
I'm am praying...and trying not to overthink. I don't want to give you MY suggestion- I want it to be a song that God wants her heart to hear. I am going to go have a bath- then maybe I will be back. This is a great idea, Emily- thanks for including us.
That is such an amazingly incredible and thoughtful thing for you to do!
With Hope, by Steven Curtis Chapman
Emily, what a wonderful idea. Music touches our soul, and since we cannot be there to cry with Marsha, we can wrap her in beautiful melodies.
All day the Steven Curtis Chapman song With Hope has been playing in my heart.
What a great idea. I wish we had another excuse to buy Marsha an iPod though. I have been bawling all day!
I would like you to please include It Is Well With My Soul.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and kindness to the Drews!
Prayers and Blessings and Tears,
Miss Amanda
http://superangelsblog.com
Since With Hope was already mentioned, I thought of a whole album that ministered to my husband and I during a difficult time: Mathew Ward's My Redeemer. There are a few samples at that link. I'll try to think of just one, but they are all amazing songs.
"Spare an Angel" by Chris Rice - it's top of my hurting and grieving playlists.
Abba, please spare your strongest, brightest, gentlest angel for Marsha, David, and their family. Amen.
Arms of Love- Kutlass
Be Still and Know- Steven Curtis Chapman
When the Tears Fall- Newsboys
I was just reading the archives of Marsha's blog and she mentioned that David's favorite hymn is "It is Well with My Soul" so that might be one you could include.
What a sweet thought. I will be thinking. I added this link to my blog to spread the word.
blessings, Jacque
http://jacquedixon.com
Bebo Norman "I Will Lift My Eyes"
...to the Maker of the mountains I can't climb
...to the Healer of the hurt I hold inside
....to the Calmer of the oceans raging wild....
Prayers for your friend.
Mary, mom to 10
What an incredibly beautiful idea God placed in your heart.
With Hope has been in my head, but looks like others have had the same, too.
You're a dear, sweet person to do this. It's a gift of comfort that will last for years.
Fernando Ortega: I Will Praise Him Still
'You never let go' by Passion. 'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, your perfect love is casting out fear.......Oh No you never let go! Lord you never let go of me!'
I know when I lost our babies I lost hold of God, praise be to Him that He never let go of me! May He hold Marsha and David close at this time.
What a sweet idea~ thank you for allowing us to share in your generosity in some small way.
I am thinking now of "Who Am I?" by Casting Crowns~ a reminder that, no matter what, we ARE God's.
I can think of little else besides the Drews family~ may God hold them in his arms and rock them gently.
You are an amazing friend. Can I help you buy a handful of songs?
Maybe you could include a paypal button; people could buy a song?
I'll be back with my song; I'm thinking.
Awesome idea...
"I Can Only Imagine" by Mercy Me
"My Savior" by Aaron Shust
In a little while by either Sandi Patti or Amy Grant
I also love With Hope by Steven Curtis Chapman and Praise you in this Storm by Casting Crowns...
This is a truly beautiful gift for Marsha. Here I sit crying again for her.
How about Precious Lord, Take My Hand.
And, not a Christian song, but maybe The Dance by Garth Brooks, too.
This is a beautiful song that I love: If You Want Me To by Ginny Owens
The pathway is broken
And The signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why You brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to
Chorus:
Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
so if all of these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will go through the fire
If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone
ya oh oh no
So When the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the darkness If You want me to
When I cross over Jordan, I'm gonna sing, gonna shout
Gonna look into your eyes and see you never let me down
So take me on the pathway that leads me home to you
And I will walk through the valley if you want me to
Yes, I will walk through the valley if you want me to
My heart is broken for their family---Several songs that came to mind are already here--I'll be praying for another one. Thanks for allowing us to minister with you.
Here's a link to a video if anyone wants to listen to If You Want Me To by Ginny Owens
http://carlangelopua.multiply.com/video/item/14
It moves me to tears to listen.
Please tell Marsha there's at least one women she doesn't know who's heart is crying out on her behalf.
I am going to pray, Em. My heart is so broken for this precious family. :(
I'll be back when God gives me something.
This is such a great idea. It's already been said, but I've gotta agree Casting Crown's "Praise You in this Storm." Also, Tree 63's Blessed Be Your Name & "Held" by Natalie Grant. One last one, Third Day's "Cry Out to Jesus".
When my daughter's friend was killed earlier this year, someone told me about Alan Jackson's "Sissy's Song." (It's not Christian, but it was a comfort.)
I am praying.
Wonderful Merciful Savior by Selah
I second "the Dance". Great song. I can't do this without crying. Man, girl - you are hitting me where it hurts.

I just went through my computer music. I'm sure there's more... there's a Chris Rice song that eludes me right now... about wind and waves praising God... trees swaying. It gives me chills.
I pray that each song touches her heart and brings her the peace and glory of God - fills her soul with the comfort that can only come from Him.
In Christ,
Heather
If you don't have a way to get all those songs, I have them all on my PC. I can make a various artist cd for her instead and she can put them on her ipod if she likes them. ;) There are only about 2 or 3 of them I don't have.
Many of the songs I would have suggested have already been mentioned... I just had to say... what a fantastic idea.....What a blessing!
Lisawa
This is such a great idea Em!!! I choose Everything Glorious by the David Crowder Band...I love it and it was soothing to me after Kathleen passed away.
-Laura
I thought of another, that I listened to a million times after one of our miscarriages:
Home Free by Wayne Watson:
(excerpt)
I'm trying hard not to think you unkind
But Heavenly Father
If you know my heart
Surely you can read my mind
Good people underneath a sea of grief
Some get up and walk away
Some will find ultimate relief
Chorus
Home Free, eventually
At the ultimate healing we will be Home Free
Home Free, oh I've got a feeling
At the ultimate healing
We will be Home Free
Emily, what an amazing gift. I am so horrible with music. I have no idea. I have one song in mind that makes me cry when I sing it so I will look it up and see if it is appropriate and get back to you.
Susan
You are a gem, Emily, and now you've got me crying again. I love you, friend.
I knew almost immediately which songs I would choose:
Rich Mullins: Hold Me Jesus
Ray Boltz: The Anchor Holds
You are an earthly angel, thinking of this tender idea. God bless you and especially this family. I know they will see him again.
The hymn: Be Still My Soul
Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus) by Chris Rice came to mind right away. May God bless you for doing this.
This was an unbelievable good idea... Cause really, how can you help someone who is going through this. Only through prayer.
It is Well With My Soul.
what a wonderful morning it has been listening thru my favorite worship songs and thinking of this sweet mommy. GREAT IDEA! here's what's on my heart...
I have to believe, Rita Springer
(makes me truly want to stand up, jump up and down and raise my hands up all the while singing this song at the top of my lungs to HIM!)
None but Jesus, Hillsong United
(a soft, heart welling up sorta song that always moves my heart)
you are such a good friend emily! bless ya girl!
p.s. i love cindy's idea to let us help you buy a song or two!!!
MercyMe's "Homesick".
What a tragedy. I'll definitely be praying for their family. If you want, I'll pay for the song... Send an email.
Well, I think you'll have to include "Here I am to Worship." What a sweet idea. Bless you.
All the Christian ones that I wanted to share have been taken. There is a country song that helped me immensely when I lost someone, "How can I help you, to say good bye" by Patty Loveless.
Here is the chorus:
And she said, how can I help you to say goodbye
It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry
Come let me hold you, and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye
Thank you for doing this! I am assuming you are sending it to the address listed at HOTM, which is my address. . . I will feel honored to give her your gift of love!
Hillsong's:
Healer
Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Darlene Zschech's:
Let the Peace of God Reign
And That My Soul Knows Very Well
Glory to the King of Kings
What an awesome blessing!!
I do not kow Marsha, but it does not matter, when one of our sisters or brothers hurt, we all hurt!!
I love in the Bible when Moses was raising his hands to God and could no longer hold them up on his own so Aaron & Hur came along side him and held his arms up for him.
This is an incredible way we can be Aaron & Hur to Marsha.
My song choice is: "You raise Me Up"- Josh Groben (or any other artist that sings this)
Excellent gift Emily! I'd like to submit "I Need Thee Every Hour" by Jars of Clay.
Abiding in the Vine
Chris Tomlin---"Holy is the Lord"
Watermark---"Arise and be Comforted"
Chris Rice---"How Great Thou Art, and Great is thy Faithfulness" ---these are from Livingroom Sessions, paino music, no words.
and one for the boys---
Go Fish---"You are Mine"
Susan
PS--let us know if we can help pay for songs.
I don't think anyone mentioned "How to Say Good-bye" by Michael W. Smith. I think it is an empty nest song, but it is fitting.
Leslie
"Held" and "Praise You In This Storm" are two that got me through my grieving season after my son died.
"Homesick" by Mercy Me was one that meant a lot to me - we played it at my son's service... Be sure to include those songs she has at the service on the list. I have a CD with tons of songs from that season of my life on it.
"Hear of From Heaven" by New Life Worship
"Oh How He Loves" by John Mark McMillian - There is a better recording of this song by Hillsong and Jesus Culture, but I have had trouble finding it online.
I know the Planetshakers writer Mike Gugliomucci is under extreme scrutiny right now, but his song "Healer" is amazing and Hillsong has it out on the Mighty to Save CD.
Gateway Worship has a song out "God of My Days" which is just beautiful...
Words:
You awaken my heart from slumbering
You meet me in mourning and you speak to my grief... You're the light in the darkness, the delight of my eyes, the hope of the daybreak when the sun's slow to rise - I trust that every moment's in your hand...
You're the God of my days
The King of my nights
The Lord of my laughter
Sovereign in sorrow....
(words by Zach Neese, (c)Gateway Create Publishing 2008, Southlake, TX. "Wake Up The World" CD)
Also, "When I Speak Your Name," "The More I Seek You," "My Beloved" --- these are all relationship and intimacy with God songs and I believe that what a grieving parent needs more than anything in the world is a deeper intimacy with God - at least that is my experience. Ross Parsley (New LIfe Worship) "Amazed"
Steven Curtis Chapman's "His Strength is Perfect" and "When Love Takes You In"
"Still" Hillsong, as well. Ray Boltz "Still Her Little Child."
Mark Schultz - almost anything...
He's my son, Remember Me, Time that's Left... I've Been There (I think... "I have been there, I overcame the cross... I have been there... I think it is on the Stories and Songs CD)
Philips Craig and Dean from "Let My Words Be Few" - "Your Grace Still Amazes Me," and "Pour My Love On You."
I hope this helps. And I am praying. Thank you for having such a beautiful heart to minister.
Also, you may want to look into a CD called Healing - it is a Scripture, music and meditation CD by Tom Davis... I don't know. I wish I could just download the files to you from that - It is such a blessing to me --- I listen to it at night as I got to sleep.
Okay... I don't know Marsha or her precious family, but I know something of her aching heart. You guys just be blessed. When I have a little time I will put together some Scriptures for everyone to pray.
Blessings.
... That should be "Hear US from Heaven" by New Life Worship
What a beautiful idea. I think "Praise Him in the Storm" and "Grace Like Rain" Todd Agnew
Please give us a list of your choices.
I have been praying for their family. It's so sad.
:>Michelle
This is such a wonderful idea. And I agree that if you have to download these at a cost, you should let us help pay.
*"In Christ Alone" by Townend/Getty (recorded by Natalie Grant, Newsboys and others)
This was played at my friend's husband's funeral.
"In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song/ This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,firm through the fiercest drought and storm/ What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!/ My Comforter, my All in All, here in the love of Christ I stand."
I heartily second these as noted by others:
*"It Is Well" (a song born out of similar personal tragedy)
*"Praise You in the Storm" (my friend whose son has leukemia has found strength and hope in this song)
*"Hold Me Jesus"
And another by Rich Mullins from his Never Picture Perfect CD:
*"Bound to Come Some Trouble" (I know, the title sounds trite, but the lyrics are not)
"Now, People say maybe things will get better/ People say maybe it won't be long/ And people say maybe you'll wake up tomorrow
And it'll all be gone/ Well I only know that maybes just ain't enough
When you need something to hold on to/ There's only one thing that's clear... I know there's bound to come some trouble to your life/
Reach out to Jesus, hold on tight/
He's been there before and He knows what it's like/ You'll find He's there"
Here's a link to the complete lyrics for that last one:
http://www.kidbrothers.net/npp.html#btcst
Thanks for coming up with a way for Marsha's bloggy friends to bless her!
What a blessedly inspired idea Emily, thank you for sharing this opportunity for us to bless Marsha, and thereby the rest of her family as well. I have been praying for Marsha, my husband and I both so grieved for the Drew family.
I do have a few I'd like for you to add that I think will help her to lift her whole heart, aches, questions, etc. to HIM in total surrender, as she listens and worships. And what an honor to bless her in this way. I am going to link your post here. Thanks again.
Praying for the Drews,
Beth & the brew*crew
First, my 9yo daughter was standing here when I read this and told her about your idea, and that I was prayerfully considering what to share. She immediately said, "In Christ Alone" by the Newsboys, so that's her offering. It's perfect.
http://tinyurl.com/5rrgap
One of my all-time favorite worship albums is Rita Springer's "Created to Worship", but if I had to pick one song off it for Marsha right now it would be "Freedom Reigns".
I have a few more to suggest as well: "Never Alone" by Barlow Girl:
"I waited for you today
But You didn't show
No.No.No.
I needed You today
So where did you go?
You told me to call
you said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?
Chorus
I cried out with no reply and
I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone.
And though I can not see You
and I can't explain why.
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life oh
We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
and though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen
Chorus
We cannot separate
You're part of me
and though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen.
...and a few from another fave worship bands, WaterDeep:
"Big Enough to Hold Me":
http://tinyurl.com/57l7v7
"...I know You, You, You are big enough to hold me
I know You Lord, yeah You
Will carry me through
How great, how high
How deep, how wide
Is Your love
The space in my mind is too small for You
The space in my heart is too small for You too
And all of things of the earth that i know
Are too small for all of the greatness You've shown
But in all of this i'm still facing my needs
And i'm scared of how big they feel to me
Nothing can separate from the love of Christ
All my doubts, He sees past and things to come"
Also by WaterDeep, "I Will Not Forget You~ Ps.50" (which Third Day also did, but Waterdeep wrote it and I personally like WD's version better), "Come Fall On Us" and "Since I am So Sick":
"Since I am so sick
Since I am in need
Since I have no healing within me
Oh, my God, be mindful of me
You are my help and my Redeemer
Oh, my God, be mindful of me
You are my help and my Redeemer
Unto You, oh Lord
I lift up my soul
In Your loving-kindness I believe
Surely those who wait on You
Will never be ashamed
All of those who call on You
Will know the faithfulness of Your name"
Also the hymn
"Eternal Father Strong to Save", as sung by Eden's Bridge, as well as a couple of powerful songs by Michael Card, "Why", which addresses suffering:
http://tinyurl.com/5buvje
and "The Poem of Your Life".
and perhaps "The River" by Cece Winans; http://tinyurl.com/5zeqhu
Thought of another one from Rita Springer, "It's Gonna Be Worth It All"
http://tinyurl.com/5r66ek
Beautiful idea! I noticed someone chose "Hold Me Jesus" - great choice! A song by Steven Curtis Chapman came to mind "Believe Me Now". It is a wonderful reminder of no matter what we are going through - the Lord is with us!
Praying...
Tammy
Well my first recommendations were going to be Praise You in This Storm and With Hope. You Raise Me Up is awesome too.
Some of my other favorites are You Are God Alone by Phillips, Craig, & Dean and Word of God Speak by Mercy Me.
Oh, and that Hold Me Jesus that someone else suggested.
So much encouragement here folks. You all are awesome! What a divinely inspired idea. I'm sure it's going to be a blessing to their family.
This is a wonderful idea. Like Amanda said, though, I wish we had a happier reason to get Martha an iPod...
All I Can Say - David Crowder Band
Dancing with Angels - Monk and Neagle
The Letter - Newsboys
Thank you for doing this!
I would really like to give you money for this. Please let us know how we can.
I would agree with all of these wonderful choices.
I am a big Fernando Ortega fan,
so I must add "Just Give Me Jesus".
Keeping everyone affected by this tragedy in my prayers,
Linda
homeschoolblogger.com/faithfulgrace
Emily,
What a wonderful idea!
Blessed Be Your Name (Matt Redman)
The hymn, It Is Well (With my Soul) (Brian Doerksen has a good version on his You Shine CD.)
~Stacy
"In Christ Alone"--Newsboys.
This is on my playlist at the bottom of my blog if you'd like to preview it. =)
Praying for Mrs. Marsha with all my heart...
--Renee--
I just thought of this one, and I don't think it's previously stated. =)
Thy Word--Amy Grant
You might try God is In Control by Twila Paris...
Thanks, and great idea!
--Renee--
Well, I'm bummed--the ipod's full, but I know one of the songs God brought to mind is "God is in Control" by Twila Paris. The other was "You Raise Me Up" by Selah. Maybe it was on there too and I just missed it.
Emily, this is Marsha's sister CoCo. I just wanted to thank you for doing this for Marsha. It is so sweet of you and will be such a blessing to her. I also want to thank all of her bloggy friends for the wonderful support and tributes. She is an amazing and strong woman. I know her heart is breaking into a million pieces right now but she seems to be comforting the rest of us.
Thank you all so much! God Bless You!
Came back in to tell you the name of that Chris Rice song... it was "And Your Praise Goes On"
and to say that I broke into tears tonight at Starbucks listening to "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton (who also lost his son).
I think both of those would be great additions. I also hope that you will list your final selections. I'd be curious to hear what you chose.
Emily, this is such a beautiful idea. I was listening to a song yesterday and thought of Marsha and was thinking how I would somehow like to send it to her. I will email you later, I have to find the CD it was on -- don't remember the title.
Thank you for this generous gift. I know you said the song list is closed, but "I Can Only Imagine" is the one that comes to my mind.
I just heard about this. I know the song list is closed, but I just had to add this song for whatever reason because it is the song I have been singing for Marsha and it has been playing in my head constantly since Wednesday morning. It is a Vineyard worship song by Chris Lizotte. It is called You are God.
In my weakness,
would You come
Help me stand up
Help me run
To the Shadow of Your Wings
and the comfort that it brings
And I'll wait
and be still
and I'll know
You are God
You are God
Chorus:
I will love You
And adore You
I will trust You
God
I will sing in
times of trouble
I will trust You
God
I posted the playlist of Beulah Land here. Sung by The Gaithers. Also a song called 'Someday' in my Saturday Psalm and Praise in dedication to the Drews Family.
Yesterday I was listening to K-LOVE and heard Mercy Me's "Homesick". I immediately thought of Marsha and her family. I am glad to see that it made this list and I hope that it made it on to that iPod. Wonderful idea!
Marsha will certainly be blessed by this, what a sweet and thoughtful gift for her.
Emily, really you are an amazing woman-what a gift of her Father's love in the midst of such awful pain.
Praying, as I have since I heard...asking that the Lord bind them together and speak the peace that passes understanding to their hearts and minds.
I love you Emily, you are the real deal.
Kimmie
mama to 6

I just thought of another one: God will life up your head by Jars of Clay!
amazing song that proclaims God's strength for us!
Miss Amanda
http://superangelsblog.com
I have made a post asking for people to cover the Drews family in prayer for 24 hours leading up to the 25th of September, marking one month without "Dozer". Please stop by and add your name if you'd like, and share it on your blog for others that might be willing to "help" this family through prayer.
Thanks,
