One Life, One Love

Who am I

That You would know me from the start

Set me apart

Who am I

That You would place eternity

Into my heart

You have given to me

More than this world could give

My purpose is found in You

One life, I lay at Your altar

One love, I have with You

Touch me again

Fill me as You hold

My outstretched hands

One word, You know I will follow

One heart, broken to You

Use me again

your mercies follow me

For all my days

In Your presence

In Your power

Holy Spirit, I surrender

Here we are

Here we are lifting our hands to You

Here we are, giving You thanks for all You do

As we praise, and worship Your holy name

You are here, dwelling within our praise

For every answered prayer

For always being there

For love that hears us when we call

For arms that lift us when we fall

Oh You have always been, right beside us

Leading us all along the way

And we've made it through

Because of You

Here we are lifting our hands to You

Here we are, giving You thanks for all You do

As we praise, and worship Your holy name

You are here, dwelling within our praise

For days we cannot see

For all that's yet to be

The trials we may have to face

When we'll be leaning on Your grace

It will be Your strength, that saves us

Your love that makes us strong

And through it all

We'll sing this song

Here we are lifting our hands to You

Here we are, giving You thanks for all You do

As we praise, and worship Your holy name

You are here, dwelling within our praise

Footprints in the sand

You walked with me, footprints in the sand

And helped me understand where I'm going

You walked with me when I was all alone

With so much I know along the way

Then I heard You say

"I promise you, I'm always there

When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair

I'll carry you when you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand"

I see my life flash across the sky

So many times have I been so afraid

And just when I have thought I lost my way

You give me strength to carry on

That's when I heard You say

"I promise you, I'm always there

When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair

And I'll carry you when you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand"

When I'm weary, well, I know You'll be there

And I can feel You when You say

"I promise you, I'm always there

When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair

And I'll carry you when you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand"

At the Cross

Oh Lord You've searched me

You know my way

Even when I fail You

I know You love me

Your holy presence

Surrounding me

In every season

I know You love me

I know You love me

At the cross I bow my knee

Where Your blood was shed for me

There's no greater love than this

You have overcome the grave

Your glory fills teh highest place

What can separate me now

You go before me

You shield my way

Your hand upholds me

I know You love me

You tore the veil

You made a way

When You said that it is done

And when the earth fades

Falls from my eyes

And You stand before me

I know You love me

I know You love me

Psalm 91 by Adeline Gan

I will dwell in the secret place
Of the Most High

I will stay in the shadow

Of Your wings

For Lord You are my refuge

My tower of strength

My hope is in You

Secure I stand

You will deliver me

Your truth will be my shield

Jesus You cover me

In Your love no fear prevails

No evil, no terror

No arrow, no plague

Shall ever come near me

For You are my safety,

My hiding place

Jesus I trust in You

I surrender all

Jesus

Earth cannot hold the beauty of Your splendour

Father

Heaven cannot contain Your majesty

I will trade the best of me

For all You are I'm falling into You

I surrender all

I surrender all I am

To the Saviour who surrendered all for me

Saviour

Gave up a crown of Heaven for a crown of thorns

Always

Yours is the crown of life I'm living for

Everyday I breathe You in

The sweetness of Your love is all I need

For all You are and for

All I can become

Jesus, I'm laying down my life

In times of trouble and need, we may be blinded by fear or grieve. But You lift us up!

Sometimes the things of the world may blind us and hinder us in our walk with You. But never once have You left us even though we strayed. And when we choose to return to You, You welcome us back with open arms and clothe and shower us with the best. That is how great and faithful You truly are. Because You've touched me in so many ways unseen, I choose to walk with You in this narrow path and run this race right to the very end for You. Thank You Lord!

Open my eyes

In the stars I see Your Majesty displayed

In the heavens all Your wonders are proclaimed

I see Your fame in all of the earth

And I seek to know the ways of Your heart

Through the seas and open skies I hear Your praise

As the shout of all creation lifts Your Name

I hear Your praise in all of the earth

And I seek to know the ways of Your heart

So open my eyes, oh God

Open my heart to see

All the wonders and the

Power of your name

By Your grace I'll live

By Your grace I'll see

For my life and my salvation is in You

For You take the sinner's heart and bring new life

Through the cross we are restored within Your light

I know Your love is all I need

And I seek to know the ways of Your heart

Because You restore us with double of what was before. Because all we need is to take a step of faith to move on, walk on, surrender all and let You take control. Who of us know what tomorrow holds? Only You, Lord, only You. And because of that, what is there for us to fear? We can walk through the valley of the shadow of death and not be afraid because You are with us, Your rod and staff they comfort us. You are all we need Lord. Let us put our trust and faith in You and walk on in Your love. =)

Believe

You are my light

You are my strength

You are my rock

On You i stand

I lift my voice

I raise my hands

I lift my soul

With all I am

In Christ forever I stand

I will believe

You are strong enough

In my weakness

God be lifted up

And I will sing

Lift Your praises high

Lord be magnified

You make all things new

I will believe

So hear this song

Receive our praise

You are our strength

For all our days

We lift You up

Our voices high

In every storm

Let God arise

Oh Your love

Your love will never fail

Your love it knows no end

Your love will never fail

Oh Your love

Stronger than my shame

Greater than my pain

Your love will never fail

The Answer

One hope for all our lives

Your truth remains through time

Love is the way

You gave Your life away

We now receive new life

Our eyes are opened wide

You made a way for us

When the world fails we'll be standing

On the one name that's never failing

We receive new life as we surrender

In You we know we've found the answer

In You we find our place

Your will for all our days

Never to fade

Your love will light the way

Our hearts are for Your cause

We live beyond ourselves

And let Your love be known

We live to see You

We long to know Your love

Our hearts are open

Our lives are Yours forever

Unashamed

I have not much

To offer You

Not near what You deserve

But still I come

Because Your cross

Has placed in me my worth

Oh, Christ my King

Of sympathy

Whose wounds secure my peace

Your grace extends to call me friend

Your mercy sets me free

And I know I'm weak

I know I'm unworthy

To call upon Your name

But because of grace

Because of Your mercy

I stand here unashamed

I can't explain

This kind of love

I'm humbled and amazed

That You'd come down

From heavens heights

And greet me face to face

Here I am at Your feet

In my brokenness complete

Turn to Jesus

What happened at work last Thursday pretty much caused some upheaval within me. I was pretty lost and emotional the next few days. I have no idea why. Maybe I've painted too pretty a picture of us humans only to get disappointed when I see the ugly side of humans. And maybe emotions pile up when I have to say farewell to two people within 5 days, more so about Michelle who will be away for 6 months. And through all these, I guess I was so clouded by emotions that I fail to see where Christ is in this. Instead of running towards Him to seek guidance, I chose to run away, getting myself distracted with outings after outings so that I don't have to deal with it, only to realise that at the end of the day, I'm still feeling affected by something which I can't identify.

But I guess I've come to realise, life's like that. No matter how much I want to believe the goodness in everyone, there will come a point in time where we will have to deal with difficult people, people who are difficult to love. I was thinking, my time in NS was much much worse as compared to what I am facing now. So why do I react like that? Maybe many people have been very nice to me, so much so that I forget how it feels like to be stabbed in the back like that. But ultimately, the lesson for me here is to really learn to forgive. To forgive, let go and love that person as God loves us. It is easy to say, but definitely very difficult to do. Humans are afterall humans. It is not easy for us to overlook the wrongs people did to us, especially those whom you don't have a good impression of to begin with. And I am facing that very problem. Because I've been talking so much about love, reading so much about love, singing so much about love, I thought everything will just come naturally. But I guess this is one lesson which I have to learn, that it is not as easy to love thy neighbour as thyself, not easy to forgive as we say we want to.

So how, then, can I let go? Because I so want to forgive, so want to love, but don't know how to? And I've got my answer today. And the answer is so so simple. Something which I should have done in the very first place. And that is to...

Turn to Jesus

Jesus my Saviour

My Lord and My King

Insulted, rejected

for all of our sins

Knowing pain

He went through it all

So I turn to Jesus

He's there when I fall

Lord I need You

Lord I cry out to You

My only refuge

From this world

Lord I need You

Lord I cry out to You

My only shelter,

My hope and Saviour

Jesus my comfort

My strength and my shield

Sorrow and sadness

He knows how I feel

Knowing my struggles

He went through it all

So I turn to Jesus

Who's been there before

Because He knows how I feel even though I don't. Because He's been there before. So I guess let me just turn to Him and rest in His peace. I know I don't know much about tomorrow or what will happen days, weeks, months or even years down this road. But I should just trust the author of my life, that I am never alone for each step that I take and even if I fall, He will pick me up, raise me up on eagle's wings and emerge stronger and better than before. It's time for me to run towards Him, and never away. =)

Today is the day

I'm casting my cares aside

I'm leaving my past behind

I'm setting my heart and mind on You

Jesus

I'm reaching my hand to Yours

Believing there's so much more

Knowing that all You have in store for me is good

Is good

Today is the day You have made

I will rejoice and be glad in it

Today is the day You have made

I will rejoice and be glad in it

And I won't worry about tomorrow

I'm trusting in what You say

Today is the day

I'm putting my fears aside

I'm leaving my doubts behind

I'm giving my hopes and dreams to You

Jesus

I'm reaching my hands to Yours

Believing there's so much more

Knowing that all You have in store for me is good

Is good

Today is the day You have made

I will rejoice and be glad in it

Today is the day You have made

I will rejoice and be glad in it

And I won't worry about tomorrow

I'm trusting in what You say

Today is the day

And I will stand upon Your truth

And all my days I live for You

Today is the day You have made

I will rejoice and be glad in it

Today is the day You have made

I will rejoice and be glad in it

And I won't worry about tomorrow

I'm giving You my fears and sorrows

Where You lead me I will follow

I'm trusting in what You say

Today is the day

Fairest Lord Jesus/My Only Crown

Fairest Lord Jesus

Ruler of all nature

Oh, Thou of God and man the Son

Thee will I cherish

Thee will I honor

Thou my soul's glory, joy and crown

Fair are the meadows

Fairer still the woodlands,

Robed in blooming garb of spring

Jesus you're fairer

Jesus you're purer,

Who makes the woeful heart to sing

My only crown is knowing You

And to be found in You my only glory

And on that day, I will bow down

And bring to You my only crown

Thee will I cherish

Thee will I honor

Thou my soul's glory, joy and crown

The Love of God

Emmanuel

You're with me surely closer than I can say

I know Thee well

I'm hidden shadowed under Your wings always

And oh, where else can I turn but to the Love of God

In brokenness

I know You hold me safe in redemption's arms

And I confess

You alone restore me, leading me to Your heart

Because when all else fails, all we need to do is to turn to Him. And no matter how painful the journey will be, how arduous the journey may be, He is there to give us the strength we need to pull through each day and ultimately, emerge victorious and triumphant in Him. Because God has His plans for us, but they will only be executed in His own way and at His own special time. Since we are not in control, as we wait, let's take heart and dwell in His awesome love, and pull through each day with Him holding our hands. He will never let go of our hands, never. So let's not let go of His =)

I know who holds tomorrow

I don't know about tomorrow;

I just live from day to day.

I don't borrow from its sunshine

For its skies may turn to grey.

II don't worry o'er the future,

For I know what Jesus said.

And today I'll walk beside Him,

For He knows what lies ahead.

Many things about tomorrow

I don't seem to understand

But I know who holds tomorrow

And I know who holds my hand.

Every step is getting brighter

As the golden stairs I climb;

Every burden's getting lighter,

Every cloud is silver-lined.

There the sun is always shining,

There no tear will dim the eye;

At the ending of the rainbow

Where the mountains touch the sky.

I don't know about tomorrow;

It may bring me poverty

But the one who feeds the sparrow,

Is the one who stands by me.

And the path that is my portion

May be through the flame or flood;

But His presence goes before me

And I'm covered with His blood.

Because I don't know about tomorrow, there are many things about tomorrow that I don't understand. But one thing I know for sure, that He knows about tomorrow and that He will hold my hand whether it rains or shines. Because He loves us and is faithful that way. =)

The Power of Your Name

Surely children weren't made for the streets

And fathers were not made to leave

Surely this isn't how it should be

Let Your kingdom come

Surely nations were not made for war

Or the broken meant to be ignored

Surely this just can't be what You saw

Let Your Kingdom come here in my heart

And I will live to carry Your compassion

To love a work that's broken

To be Your hands and feet

And I will give with the life that I've been given

And go beyond religion

To see the world be changed

By the power of Your name

The power of Your name

Surely life wasn't made to regret

And the lost were not made to forget

Surely faith without action is dead

Let Your Kingdom come, Lord, break this heart

And I will live to carry Your compassion

To love a work that's broken

TO be Your hands and feet

And I will give with the life that I've been given

And go beyond religion

To see the world be changed

By the power of Your name

The power of Your name

Jesus, Your name is a shelter for the hurting

Your name is a refuge for the weak

Only Your name can redeem the undeserving

Jesus, Your name holds everything I need

And I will live to carry Your compassion,

To love the world that's broken

To be Your hands and feet

And I will give with the life that I've been given

And go beyond religion to see the world be changed

By the power of Your name

He touched me

Shackled by a heavy burden,

'Neath a load of guilt and shame.

Then the hand of Jesus touched me,

And now I am no longer the same.

He touched me, Oh He touched me,

And oh the joy that floods my soul!

Something happened and now I know,

He touched me and made me whole.

Since I met this blessed Saviour,

Since He cleansed and made me whole,

I will never cease to praise Him,

I'll shout it while eternity rolls.

He touched me, Oh He touched me,

And oh the joy that floods my soul!

Something happened and now I know

He touched me and made me whole.

El Shaddai

El Shaddai, El Shaddai

El-Elyon na Adonai

Age to age You're still the same,

By the power of the name.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai

Erkahmka na Adonai

We will praise and lift You high

El Shaddai.

Through Your love and through the ram,

You saved the son of Abraham;

Through the power of Your hand,

Turned the sea into dry land.

To the outcast on her knees,

You were the God who really sees,

And by Your might,

You set Your children free.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,

El-Elyon na Adonai

Age to age You're still the same,

By the power of the name.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,

Erkahmka na Adonai,

We will praise and lift You high

El Shaddai

Through the years You made it clear,

That the time of Christ was near,

Though the people couldn't see

What Messiah ought to be.

Though Your Word contained the plan,

They just would not understand

Your most awesome work was done

Through the frailty of Your Son.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,

El-Elyon na Adonai,

Age to age You're still the same,

By the power of the name.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,

Erkahmka na Adonai,

I will praise You till I die,

El Shaddai.

The hebrew words, "El Shaddai, El yonna Adonai, Er kham ka na Adonai" mean "God Almighty, God in the highest, Lord. We will love You, Oh, Lord"

His works never fails to amaze me.

Because He is unchanging

Because He is faithful

Because He is loving

Because He is merciful

Because He never fails to hold my hand and guide me through

El Shaddai, El Shaddai, El yonna Adonai, Er Kam ka na Adonai =)

He understands my tears

It's hard to believe He still loves me

Knowing how wrong I have been

When all I can say is I'm sorry

And all I can feel is my sin

He understands, when all I can do is cry

He feels the hurt that on one can see down inside

And when the words get in the way

I know He still hears

For He understands my tears

You may not believe that I'm broken

For all you can see is my smile

Oh, but He hears the heart that's unspoken

And He gives me strength thru each trial

He understands, when all I can do is cry

He feels the hurt that no one can see down inside

And when the words get in the way

I know he still hears

For he understands my tears

OH and when the words get in the way

I know He still hears

For He understands when no one else can

He Understands my tears

This week has been a very tiring one. I was pretty frustrated with myself because I wanted to be productive at work. But I've been feeling very very tired everyday and I just kept falling asleep during work, which I thought was very bad! And I didn't know what to do because I tried sleeping early but I still felt tired anyway. So that very night, I just burst into tears. Because I didn't know what else to do and I was pretty restless even at work. All I could do was to put on a smile and pretend that all was fine. I know I was being very dramatic and all, but I guess that's just me when I'm exhausted. All i wanted was rest and rest but the cycle did not stop. But thank God for understanding my tears. Because when there's no way, He made a way. When no one understood, He understood and even held my hands to guide me through the rough spot. Thank God that after that very night, I didn't have much time to fall asleep at all because I was pretty much busy with training in the lab and all. And the adrenaline rush from lab pretty much gave me the energy that I need. Yup, I may be tired, but still, I felt good. Thank God for His strength and peace! =)

It is well with my soul / The river's gonna keep on rolling

When peace like a river attendeth my soul
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot thou hast taught me to say

It is well, it is well with my soul

You can tell someone you love'em

From the bottom of your heart

And believe that it's the truest thing you've known

And even if you never break the promises you make

The river's gonna keep on rolling on

ANd if you haven't got a dollar

Not a penny to your name

Somebody's gonna miss you when you're gone

And if even if you never find

Just a little peace of mind

The river's gonna keep on rolling on

Keep on rollin' to the ocean

Keep on rollin' to the sea

Keep on rollin' till the love we need

Washes over you and me

God's love is like a river

At every turn and every bend

And faith in Him will turn your heart around

'Cause even though we sin,

There's forgiveness in the end

And the river's gonna keep on rollin' on

Keep on rollin' to the ocean

Keep on rollin' to the sea

Keep on rollin' till the love we need

Washes over you and me

Keep on rollin' till the love we need

Washes over you and me

It is well with my soul

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

I was at Trumpet Praise the other day and "It is well with my soul" was playing in the shop. So I decided to search for the song on youtube and I found this version by Amy Grant instead. I thought this medley of songs is pretty nice and meaningful =)

Love is not a fight

Love is not a place
To come and go as we please

It's a house we enter in

Then commit to never leave

So lock the door behind you

Throw away the key

We'll work it out together

Let it bring us to our knees

Love is a shelter in a raging storm

Love is peace in the middle of a war

And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door

No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

Love will come to save us

If we'll only call

He will ask nothing from us

But demand we give our all

Made Me Glad

I will bless the Lord forever

I will trust Him at all times

He has delivered me from all fear

He has set my feet upon the rock

I will not be moved

And I'll say of the Lord

You are my shield, my strength,

My portion, deliverer

My shelter, strong tower

My very present help in time of need

Whom have I in heaven but You

There's none I desire but You

You have made me glad

And I'll say of the Lord

You are my shield, my strength,

My portion, deliverer

My shelter, strong tower

My very present help in time of need

His Glory Appears

You gave me hope

You made me whole

At the cross

you took my place

You showed me grace

At the cross where You died for me

And His glory appears

Like the light from the sun

Age to age He shines

Look to the Skies

Hear the angels cry

Singing Holy is the Lord

By Your Side

Oh dear God we ask for Your favour

Come and sweep through this place

Oh we desire You

I just want to be with You be where You are

Dwell in Your presence oh God

Oh I want to walk with You

And i will climb this mountain

And I'll step off the shore
And I have chosen to follow
And be by Your side forever more

Tell me what You want me to do Lord God
Tell me what You want for my life
Its Your's Oh God it's Yours

Do your will
Have Your way
Be Lord God in this place
Oh I want Your will to be done

You brought me home

Your name oh Lord endures forever

Your fame oh Lord for all time

Your praises Lord will leave me never

Your love oh Lord is all mine

To Him my wisdom made the heaven

And His mercy ever lasting

To the One who gives salvation

I lift my soul to You

Jesus, Saviour, holy Lord

I know that You'll never forsake me or leave me alone

My Redeemer, Jesus Christ

Sacrificed Yourself on the cross to bring me home

Your brought me home

Angels

The holiest place there could ever be

All you can do is bow

Before the one who made heaven and earth

Before the Almighty God

For him alone

Sing with the angels

Sing with the angels

Singing the name of the Lord

Singing the name of the Lord

For every soul

He gave it all

Given for all of mankind

Eternal life is His alone

Given to all who believe

In Him alone

Jesus

=)

You stand alone

I don't know why I can't seem to get myself started with Analytical chem. It's really putting me off quite a bit for some weird reason. Argh... Kinda frustrating when you want to study but nothing goes in.

Anyhows, here's a song that has been stucked in my head for quite sometime...

I will lay me down
At Your feet in worship
And listen to the sweetest sound of all

Oh God You are my God
How my heart it longs for You
I'm thirsty for Your presence in my world
I cry out night and day for more
To hold the majesty of You

My God You stand alone
And I worship at Your throne
I will look to see Your power and glory
Jesus Lord of all

Jesus Lord of all

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

I'm pretty much exhausted after today's not so long run. But all the tiredness led me to wonder what I should be focusing in my life. Lying on the sofa or on the bed, feeling immobilised, even driving back to the chalet from church got me thinking, what comes next?

His response is this:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Look full in His wonderful face

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim

In the light of His glory and grace

All I can do is smile and rest in His presence =)

Life Lessons =)

I’ve realised that in life, not everything will move towards the way we want it to go. No matter how much we want to do well in our studies, or how much we want things to be better than what they are, it is never in our control. All we can do is to just give our best and pray that God will do the rest. Ultimately, we have to recognize that we should let His will be done and not ours, that we should be content with whatever circumstances we are placed it. Because, He knows what’s best for us and what is required for us to grow. I’ve learnt to surrender all things to Him and commit all things into His hands. Something which is very difficult and requires a lot of patience and trust. But I’ve come to realized that as we begin trusting in Him, seeking Him and believing in Him, no matter what happens, His peace and joy never fails to reach us because as we live in Him and Him in us, we will experience His faithfulness. We will finally experience how God never fails to honor His promises, that He has never left us nor forsake us, that He is constantly by our side to raise us up and grant us the strength to rise up above our circumstances. I believe that He will make all things beautiful in His time for I’ve truly experienced the meaning of “Ask and you will receive, Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be open up to you.” He is our faithful and loving Father. That’s why I choose to love and believe in Him and worship Him as much as I can. I’m not saying that I am a master at surrendering things to Him. But I’m still learning from the Teacher, the Teacher who has shown me new mercies each morning. Each day has become a lesson where the Teacher places you in real life situations to help you understand the importance of leaning towards His understanding and not ours. This journey and lesson has not been an easy one, but not once did He allow me to crumble and fall into that deep hole I dug for myself. Truly, His grace still amazes me and I feel very blessed to have come to know Him. I hope and pray that others will come to experience His grace, His mercy, His love and most of all, how awesome this mighty God of ours is.

Prayer for a Friend

Lord I lift my friend to You.

I've done all that I know to do.

I lift my friend, to You.

Complicated circumstances

have clouded his view

Lord I lift my friend up to You.

I fear that I won't have the words

that he needs to hear

I pray for Your wisdom, oh God.

And a heat that's sincere.

And Lord I lift my friend up

to You

Lord I lift my friend to You.

My best friend in the world,

I know he means much more to You.

I want so much to help him,

but this is something he has to do.

Lord I lift my friend up to You.

There's a way that seems so right to him.

But You know where that leads.

He's becoming a puppet of the world.

Too blind to see the strings.

And Lord I lift my friend up to You.

Lord I lift my friend to You.

I've done all that I know to do.

I lift my friend, to You.

Watching How to train a dragon reminds me of this song somehow. =)

One Thing (Psalm 27)

One thing I desire

One thing I seek

To gaze upon Your beauty

Your Majesty

In the day of trouble

You cover me

In the secret place of refuge

Lord I will sing

So I pray to You

So I pray to You

Lord Your name is higher than the heavens

Lord Your Name is higher than all created things

Higher than hope

Higher than dreams

The Name of the Lord

I will seek Your face

Call upon Your name, Jesus

All I want is You

Jesus

"One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.

Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord

Hear my voice when I call, O Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.

My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, Lord, I will seek."

Psalm 27:4-8

I don't think it is coincidental for someone to listen to a song and at the same time, chance upon the verses that inspired the song. What a nice reminder You have for me, Lord! =)

My God and King

My God and King

To You alone I sing

You're the face I seek

For all eternity

You'd be my dream come true

Just to be with You

How I'd see brand new

With eyes for only You

My God and King

Through the storm I sing

Covered by Your wing

This song of love I bring

You are my dream come true

Just to be with You

Now I see brand new

With eyes for only You

One Way

I lay my life down as Your feet

You're the only one I need

I turn to You and You are always there

In troubled times it's You I seek

I put You first that's all I need

I humble all I am, all to You

One way, Jesus

You're the only one that I could live for!

One way, Jesus

You're the only one that I could live for!

You are always, always there

Every how and every where

Your grace abounds so deeply within me

You will never ever change

Yesterday, today the same

Forever till forever meets no end

You are the Way, the Truth and the Life

We live by faith and not by sight for You

We're living all for You

Thank You Father for all Your blessings! Reallyy really, THANK YOU! =)

Why

We rode into town the other day

Just me and my Daddy

He said I'd finally reached that age

And I could ride next to him on a horse

That of course was not quite as wide

We heard a crowd of people shouting

And so we stopped to find out why

And there was that man

That my dad said he loved

But today there was fear in his eyes

So I said, "Daddy, why are they screaming?

Why are the faces of some of them beaming?

Why is He dressed in that bright purple robe?

I'll bet that crown hurts Him more than He shows

Daddy, please can't you do something?

He looks as though He's gonna cry

you said He was stronger than all of those guys

Daddy, please tell me why

Why does everyone wants Him to die?"

Later that day the sky grew cloudy

And Daddy said I should go inside

Somehow he knew things would get stormy

Boy was he right

But I could not keep from wondering

If there was something he had to hide

So after he left I had to find out

I was not afraid of getting lost

So I followed the crowds

To a hill where I knew men had been killed

And I heard a voice come from the cross

And it said, "Father, why are they screaming?

Why are the faces of some of them beaming?

Why are they casting their lots for My robe?

This crown of thorns hurts Me more than it shows

Father, please can't You do something?

I know that You must hear My cry

I though I could handle the cross of this size

Father, remind Me why

Why does everyone want Me to die?

When will I understand why?"

"My precious Son, I hear them screaming

I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming

But soon I will clothe You in robes of My own

Jesus, this hurts ME much more than You know

But this dark hour I must do nothing

Though I've heard Your unbearable cry

The power in Your blood destroys all of the lies

Soon You'll see past their unmerciful eyes

Look there below, see the child

Trembling by her father's side

Now I can tell You why

She is why You must die"

He chose to die for us even though He knew how painful it would have been. That is how much He loves us =)

Your Grace Still Amaze Me

My faithful Father, enduring Friend

Your tender mercy's like a river with no end

It overwhelms me, covers my sin

Each time I come into Your presence

I stand in wonder once again

Your grace still amazes me

Your love is still a mystery

Each day I fall on my knees

Your grace still amazes me

Cause Your grace still amazes me

Oh, patient Saviour, You make me whole

You are the Author and the Healer of my soul

What can I give You, Lord, what can I say

I know there's no way to repay You

Only to offer You my praise

It's deeper, it's wider

It's stronger, it's higher

It's deeper, it's wider

It's stronger, it's higher

than anything my eyes can see

I've just realised that each day, I'm struck with a song that serves as a reminder of His awesome presence. How great is our God! =)

None But Jesus

In the quiet

In the stillness

I know that You are God

In the secret of Your presence

I know there I am restored

When You call I won't refuse

Each new day again I'll choose

There is no one else for me

None but Jesus

Crucified to set me free

Now I live to bring Him praise

In the chaos in confusion

I know You're sovereign still

In the moment of my weakness

You give me grace to do Your will

When You call I won't delay

This my song through all my days

All my delight is in You Lord

All of my hope

All of my strength

All my delight is in You Lord

Forever more

Before the day

Last night when I was sleeping

You were watching over me

While I dreamt about tomorrow

You knew my every need

Now another day is waiting

For me to make it through

And there's no way that I could face it without You

Before the day slips away

I want to stop and say

I love You, I love You

Before the world rushes in again

I want to stop and say there's none above You

There's none above You

I'll just be still and know You are God

Be still and know You are God

There's something about the morning

The stillness of it all

It calms my heart to hear You

When You gently call

Now another day is waiting

For me to make it through

And there's no way that I could face it without You

Here I am in Your presence
Where I long to be

Alone with You in the silence

Bring down Your love and Your mercy

I've been listening to this song almost every night before I sleep for the past 3 to 4 years and only today did I realise how meaningful and beautiful this song is. And what a great and wonderful reminder it is!! =))

I Long to worship You

I have not come
To ask You for anything
Except for the privilege
to glorify Your name
Let my singing and my prayers to You
Fill You up
Oh God, that You might be satisfied

I long to worship You
I long to worship You
To stand in Your courts and tell how marvellous You are
To You I raise my hands
I want to lift You up
Here in Your presence Lord
I long to worship You

You are here

Thank You for being there for me through the storms and deserts of my life.
Thank You for holding my hands and guiding me through whenever I feel lost.
Thank You for loving me first, and for loving me constantly despite failing You again and again.
Thank You for being so faithful, for always answering my prayers and reassuring me.
Thank You for the peace that has guarded my heart and mind in times of need
Thank You for listening to me whenever I pray.
Thank You for Your blessings, for the special friends You've blessed me in my life.

Thank You for your awesome reminders, for reminding me of Your words in times of need.

Thank You for just being this wonderful Father whom I can run to all the time.
Thank You for just being here with me, always, now and forever.

Thank You!!

Reading an article about Him being here and listening to the song entitled, "You are here", has made me realised that God has always been the answer that I seek. For He is here with me, now and forevermore! =)

You Are Here

Only by Your love, I am breathless
Only by Your touch, I am left forever
Longing for Your presence and somehow
Abandoned to the mystery I've found

How Your majesty once again can
Strike a chord in me
Leaving me surrendered
Knowing I am heaven's
And always worshipping
The love of my life

You are here, You are here with me
Everywhere I go, You are loving me
I am Yours and You are mine
Forevermore

Through the valleys low
You will keep me
O where can I go
Holiness surrounds me
Angels all around me forever
Shadowed Your glory I hide

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
