No More Orphans! Piano CD Background Information
All songs copyright 2010 Tammy Sorenson/Jaran Family Ministries/the arts express’d

Blessed Are
The words of this song come from Mark 10:16, Matthew 5:3-12 and Luke 6:20-26.

Lord, Your heart is breaking for the children…the hungry and the poor who cry in shame. Your Spirit is awakening Your people, who’ll tell them that You know each one by name. You’ve heard their cries for freedom. You’ve seen their hurt and pain. You love them as a Father and Your Son died for their gain.

Blessed are the poor and needy. Blessed are the ones who mourn. Blessed are the gentle and lowly, the Kingdom is yours. Blessed are the hungry and thirsty. Blessed are the pure in heart. Blessed are the persecuted, the Kingdom is yours.

Blessed are the merciful. Blessed are those who work for peace. Blessed are those who seek Your heart, sharing Your great love throughout the world. Blessed are the children. Your heart is breaking for them. Blessed are believers when they share and every child receives.

I Am
This song was inspired by the words Jesus spoke in the Gospels.

I see every face on every single child that nobody wanted; the world threw them away. I see every tear on every single face of every broken heart needing someone to look their way.

I Am the only answer. Don’t believe the lies they say. I Am the only hope you’re all crying out for this day. How did we get to here and how do we get to where we need to be? Jesus is My Name.

I see every child, hungry, sick, abused, crying for someone to take away their pain. I see every child empty and alone fearing that no one cares or knows their name.

I Am the love you’re looking for. I Am peace and so much more. I Am your way, your truth, your life, I Am. I Am the freedom that you seek. I Am your strength when you are weak. I Am your shelter from this storm…I Am.

How did we get to here and how do we get to where we need to be? Jesus is My Name. Do you hear My voice? Do you know My Word? Jesus is My Name.

Every Child is a Gift
This spontaneous instrumental song was inspired by Psalm 127:3. The message of the song is contained in my new book, also entitled, No More Orphans! Every child is a God idea, and is therefore a good idea. Every child has been sent to Earth as a gift, and as a carrier of gifts the world needs. Every child is invited to receive our Heavenly Father’s greatest gift of love and eternal life through the sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus Christ. The gift of Holy Spirit within activates and empowers both the infinite treasure of Christ Jesus and the specific gifts He has placed within each individual. These gifts are to manifest and be carried as an expression of Heaven on the Earth.

For the Orphaned
This song passionately expresses instrumental intercession on behalf of everyone who has been abandoned, rejected, discarded, or orphaned by tragedy. The spontaneous music reflects the daily questions and the unknowns in being orphaned: wondering if anyone cares, of survival, and of existence itself. It also carries the promise of Jesus in John 14:18 to not leave us as orphans.

“Does anyone see me? Does anyone care about me? I have dreams of being wanted, of belonging, of being loved. There are so many like me needing to know hope, needing to know purpose, needing to know we have a future, needing to know Love. Does anyone see me?”

For the Poor
This spontaneous instrumental song came from meditating on Luke 6:20-21. Jesus promises the kingdom of God to those who are poor and hungry in this present age. The music reflects the heart of the Father and His promise to fill them according to the riches of His eternal Kingdom of Heaven.

For the Sick
This spontaneous song was inspired as intercession for a precious family standing in faith on 1 Peter 2:24 and the healing of their husband and father. I dedicate this song to the Ted Landmark family, and give glory and honor to our Heavenly Father for this family’s overcoming testimony of faith. Ted is now eternally healed in the presence of Jesus. I pray this song will comfort and heal the hearts of those who must stand strong in faith and walk out the unseen.

For the War-Torn & Persecuted
This spontaneous instrumental piece was inspired by 2 Corinthians 4 and Philippians 4:7. As intercessory music, it reflects the tension, the monotony, and the perseverance of victims who daily battle living in the midst of war and persecution. It is also a prayer for His peace in the midst their storms.

For the Unborn
This spontaneous instrumental piece is wholehearted intercession on behalf of the sanctity of life, and contains a layer of sound intended to reflect life in the womb. For the Unborn represents being a “voice” for those who cannot speak for themselves. The Lord promises covering and deliverance from evil in Psalm 139:13 and Galatians 1:4. Until His heart and will on behalf of these precious and innocent ones manifests on the Earth, a sound must cry out.

Isaiah 61 for the Abused & Slavery
The melody of this song comes from the Hebrew translation of Isaiah 61:1-2, also decreed by Jesus in Luke 4:18-19. Christ in us IS the hope of glory. We are given His Spirit to carry His anointing and set the captives free. The word of the Lord never returns void, and always accomplishes what He sends it to do. This song intercedes for the release and manifestation of the purposes of Heaven on behalf of those who daily contend with the victimization of abuse and slavery.

Uri Harel and the Center for Biblical Hebrew has developed a program entitled, Bible Music Writer. His ministry has been given a revelation of mathematically converting the letters of the Hebrew alphabet from any Scripture passage to music notation, thus literally releasing the musical frequencies of the spoken Word into the atmosphere. I creatively added the harmonies, rhythms and form to the melody of the converted Hebrew Scripture, transforming the spoken Word into a musical Word.

Not Forgotten
As I have prayed and played spontaneously for all of the fatherless on the Lord’s heart, I hear His Spirit saying, “you have not been forgotten.” In Luke 12:6, Jesus says, “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs on your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Psalms 56:8 gives assurance of our Heavenly Father keeping record of all sorrow and collecting every tear in His bottle. Because of the good news of this revelation decreed in His Word, this spontaneous song reflects a light-hearted dance as the Father sings over each of His precious children.

Not Forgotten

Tammy — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:46:28 +0000

Not Forgotten is the title of one of the spontaneous songs the Lord recently had me record on my new intercessory piano CD entitled, No More Orphans (see www.theartsexpressed.com STORE). Over and over in my spirit as I prayed and played, I kept hearing the words, “you have not been forgotten” in my spirit. There are many people of all ages in every nation who need to hear and believe these very words spoken straight from our Father in Heaven to the Earth for such a time as this. The One True Living God “so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him would not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him” (John 3:16-17).

Many have been in a difficult season of hope deferred, of unanswered prayers and unfulfilled promises, or in a place of wondering if any even sees or cares about them or their circumstances. I am writing to decree truth that Someone really does care specifically about you and every detail of what you are going through. He has proven it to you by sending His Son to reconcile you to Himself through His death and resurrection. All you have to do is believe, confess and receive. Once you take that step, He will continue to prove Himself to you in many personal, intimate and amazing ways. In John 14:18, Jesus Himself promises to “not leave us as orphans…” He promises to come to us personally and individually. Jesus is the answer each one of us is looking for. He alone has the infinite supply and provision for anything anyone could possibly need. I decree that you are not alone. I pray and prophesy your spiritual eyes and ears are open to see and hear that He is right beside you…patiently watching and waiting for you to seek Him…to cry out to Him…for you to need Him…for you to believe and receive Him…for you to choose to follow Him and His ways!

I would like to share a personal testimony for the benefit of anyone doubting your Heavenly Father sees you and your circumstances in each moment, cares about all you are going through, and love you more deeply than you could possibly imagine. One of our children had been going through a difficult time experiencing hope-deferred. They were questioning whether the things in their heart were truly God’s desires for them, and whether or not any of the things prayed over them and taught to them were even true because of such deeply painful rejection and isolation. We had a prophetic pastor friend come to our home and pray with us. This particular child was not home at the time. When we came to their room, the pastor revealed specifically things this child had labored many sleepless nights over in pain over, crying out to the Lord. When we later shared, they knew the only who could possibly have known they were asking those questions was God Himself. This gave confirmation to them of “not being forgotten.” Confirmation of their Heavenly Father knowing and caring personally and specifically about every thought, every tear, and every desire. This revelation gave wings to faith in knowing the plans He has for them are good…that He will do what He has said He will do.

In Luke 12:6, Jesus says, “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs on your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God.”

I have personally had these very words spoken over me during extended seasons of hope deferred…where the unseen promises and beliefs labored for were not manifesting. “You have not been forgotten…you are not forgotten.” These words have been spoken to me in the most unexpected places through people who didn’t know me or my circumstances. I know that I know that I know He sees, He knows, He cares, He loves infinitely, and He will do what He says He will do in His Word and to you personally in His way and in His time! I also know that His ways and His timing are much higher than mine, and therefore I can trust Him completely.

“Heavenly Father, I worship You alone, and I exalt Your holy name! I come before you to lift up anyone reading these words at this moment in time…anyone who is hurting and feeling forgotten. Wrap Your gentle arms of love around them, and Holy Spirit help them to tangibly feel Your presence, Your love, and Your peace. Reveal Yourself in dreams and visions. Reveal Yourself in the truth of Your Word. Reveal Yourself through Your sons and daughters. Jesus, be glorified in drawing each person to Yourself. Reveal the gift of Yourself within them. Reveal the gifts You have placed within each one waiting to be activated and empowered by Your Spirit to share with a world in need. Thank You, Lord, that in Your eyes we are NEVER forgotten…we are eternally embraced in Your amazing love and in the family of Your Kingdom, through the power in the blood of Jesus, the power of the truth of Your Word, and through the power of Holy Spirit!!!”

No More Orphans

Tammy — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 14:09:39 +0000

Orphans. They have always been on the Lord’s heart. He has had them on our family’s heart for many years; we adopted three children from Guatemala who are no longer orphans. When I sit at the piano and worship, I see them; when I walk and pray, I see them. The topic of orphans has begun to flash like a neon sign before the Body of Christ; everything from the Steven Curtis Chapman family tragedy to Lifelight Festival seminars on how communities and churches can come together to be the hands and feet of the Lord through sponsorship and adoption, to the orphan spirit that has been the topic of a number of conferences.

Whether orphaned by an orphan heart, through an orphan spirit, or orphaned in the natural, God’s eyes and heart are on every single one. He’s wanting to bring healing and deliverance to those who carry an orphan heart (if you’ve never heard this term before check out Shiloh Ministries/Jack Frost, “From Orphans to Sons and Daughters” or “From Slavery to Sonship.” ), and salvation to those who do not yet know Him as Savior and Lord. Our Heavenly Father is wanting His love, compassion, mercy and provision to be tangibly manifested for every precious child who has no one to care for him/her; for every child who has no one to call Daddy, Mommy, sister or brother.

The orphan heart should have no place in the life of a believer (please check the printout at Shiloh Ministries on this topic), and it is foundationally critical that the Church walk in revelation and understanding of the identity Jesus Christ purchased on our behalf. The spiritual orphans of the world so desperately need to know Him and be adopted into His family (run errands, go shopping, go to work, go to school, or read/watch anything media and you’ll see this need manifest everywhere: the harvest is plentiful (Matthew 9:37). The Lord is seeking people who are in pursuit of intimacy with Him and maturity in Him, empowering His love in action.

According to a recent interview with Steven Curtis Chapman (CNN), if 7% of the 2 billion Christians in the world would be the hands and feet of Jesus for just one of the 143 million orphans worldwide, there would be no more orphans. There are no orphans in Heaven. If His Kingdom is to come and His will is to be done on Earth as He instructed us to pray, then isn’t it time that we (His children; His sons and daughters; the kingdom and priests He has made us to be (Rev. 1:6,5:10); His Bride) rise up and bring His heart and His will to manifest on earth – no more orphans – just as it is in Heaven?

Matthew 25:35, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me. I was sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you came to visit me.”
