Blessed - Hillsong
this is one of my all-time favourite song by Hillsong.
i LOVE this song.
its from quite an old album.
many times, when i'm all alone, i just start humming then singing this song.

blog-surfing
was blog surfing and landed here.
what she shared...
Teardrops
you're lucky to receive.
you're happy to give.
Which is worse?
To be denied the chance to give,
or to have to give without getting anything in return?
Will I be able to transform these tears,
into strongholds of courage,
into visions of the future,
into streams of inspirations that refreshes the lives of many,
into hopes, dreams, and beliefs fulfilled.
That one day, you'll begin to see and appreciate these tears shed on account of you.
Because you were once so loved, and treasured.
And as these tears formed a moat around your castle,
it kept you from coming out.
But it kept bad things from going in as well.
But its ok,
there will always be a wooden walkway that you
can let down for you to ride your chariots out with into the world...
These tears, are not tears of weakness.
Do not judge them by how deep the moat goes,
because from the fullness of love,
comes the depths of protection.
I must learn to be proud of my tears.
Every precious drop.
For they are not that easily shed.
Each teardrop represents a portion of my soul which was touched.
The deepest purest part of me.
A distillation of that emotion, in its most natural, most beautiful state.
For some he gave words,
for some he gave physical strength,
for the flower he gave thorns,
for the skunk he gave terrible odour.
For me, tears.
Joyful ones, Sad ones, Angry ones,
The graceful ones that stream down continuously and hit the floor with a splash,
The prideful ones that stay swimming in the crevice of my eyelids trying their best to swim against the flow of gravity.
The playful ones that decide to exit via my nose.
The lost ones that sometimes end up in my mouth.
The ones that assume leadership positions and where they go,
throngs of mucus follow.
The ones that stay on my pillow.
Those that stay in my heart.
Those that stay in the minds of my friends.
Those that only the Lord sees.
So, I cry freely.
And I love freely.
And I hope freely.
And I wait freely.
And I smile freely.

what do you want to be when you grow up?
what do you want to be when you grow up?
this is taken from the recent twilight movie-Eclipse.
it was a graduation speech scene. heartfelt with a tinge of humor.
When we were five,they asked us what we wanted to be when we grow up.
our answers were things like,'astronaut','president'or in my case 'a princess'.
when we were ten,they asked again.
we answered 'rockstar','a cowboy', or in my case, 'a gold medalist'.
but now that we're grown up, they want a serious answer.
well, how about this? who the hell knows? (laughter,cheering & clapping)
this isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions.
this is the time to make mistakes.
take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere.
fall in love. alot. (giggles)
major in philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of that.
change your mind and change it again because nothing's permanent.
so make as many mistakes as you can.
that way, some day when they ask what we want to be...
we won't have to guess, we'll know (clapping)
love that speech. cute. haha.

Please be careful with my heart
i have not heard this guy sing before, but since he had a collaboration with our very own local talent, i took a listen...and melted...hahaha :p
courage - orianthi
Take all my vicious words
And turn them into something good
Take all my pre-conceptions
And let the truth be understood
Take all my prized possessions
Leave only what I need
Take all my pieces of doubt
And let me be what's underneath
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway
We all have excuses why
Living in fear something in us dies
Like a bird with broken wings
It's not how high he flies,
But the song he sings
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway
It's not how many times you've been
knocked down
It's how many times you get back up
Courage is when you've lost your way,
But you find your strength anyway
Courage is when you're afraid
Courage is when it all seems grey
Courage is when you make a change,
And you keep on living anyway
You keep on moving anyway
You keep on giving anyway
You keep on loving anyway
Writers: Orianthi, K. Leyden, J. Andrea, H. Benson
wanted to share these lyrics for awhile now. finally did it. enjoy :)
keep moving,giving,loving!:)

Trust and obey
we always sang this song when we were at sunday school and vacation camps.
i remember loving to sing this when i was a kid. Happened to hear it somewhere,someday. a timely reminder :)
When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet.
Or well walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
=)

Since the news broke...
today was the day that i 'finally' got slammed by colleagues about church happenings.
well, it wasn't exactly a slam. but anyways, you know what i mean.
it all started when one of them spotted this guy and commented that he looks like Ps Kong (which i checked, SO NOT!haha). then they continued giving loads of comments. at this point of time, i was swallowing my porridge and taking all the comments in. they spoke about being a pastor is such a good job. you can have a wife, have sex and just 'act holy' in front of the followers. and how can a pastor's wife do what SUN is doing and all the house and all.
i was keeping quite quiet (which is not the usual me) till one of the other asked,
A: 'which church are you from ah?'
me: 'city harvest church'
A: 'huh?!'
me: 'city harvest church'
A: serious?! (has a 'oh shit!' facial expression)
me: 'yes'
A: ' you trust what they are doing ah?'
me: ' ya, i mean how cheap do you want accomodations to be in Hollywood? and the government want to check then let them check lor. till the truth is out, we will know then. church services are going on as per normal anyway'
A: 'moves on to other topics - hungry ghost festival...'
and they didn't just talk about CHC, New Creation came into the picture as well, and catholics and methodist and all.
i was just glad they moved on to other topics and at the same time speaking up for SUN and now they all know i'm a city harvestor! :))
people... ...think before you talk and comment. and whatever the press states/writes, you should know how much to believe by now don't you think?
cheerios :)

罪與罰
I knew that Sammi Cheng somewhat suffered depression and has stepped out of it.
Her recent latest album falls in the pop gospel genre.
Always wanted to listen to this album (only did it like now,after SO long).And after listening, i think i might very well get the album. The album really shares about her dark days and how she walked out of it. sharing the love she felt and the faith she's having now.
This is 罪與罰. a collaboration with Vanness. Think the lyrics are really meaningful. Have a listen/read :)
Sammi 全新國語大碟 - 信者得愛
詞: 陳詠謙
曲: 陳奐仁
Rap詞: 李伯恩
我最崇拜的祢會原諒我嗎
會救贖我的靈魂嗎
當時很驕傲 每一天逆方向奔跑
失爽的自我 很容易對著祢咆哮
現在我禱告 雖然我不太配禱告
求祢向我指引一條生命大道
RAP:
手裡握著 不是希望 而是拳頭
電影裡頭不是你死就我活
可以相信但先要看到結果
這個世界就是這麼做作
在意成就 忘了拯救
人不為己天誅地滅我聽過
什麼時候我也變得墮落
重生的盼望輸給慾望的黑洞
我犯的罪 連我都不想赦免
你卻為了我的罪流下你的寶血
值得嗎? 不怕我忘記嗎?
那些我可能一次兩次再犯的錯啊
不要鬧啦 不值得你這樣做啦
犯錯的人應該由自己受罰
你純白無暇卻用生命代價
我是誰? 為什麼你要成為箭靶
我最崇拜的祢會原諒我嗎
犯罪的一面 我也覺得可怕
我最崇拜的祢會寬恕我嗎
迷失了以後想回家
RAP:
所有的罪被釘死了
所有的淚被記得了
你是神 卻變成人 救我的靈魂
放棄你的身份 使我變成見證
我不會停在過去打轉
新的未來要因為你打算
路的盡頭會有天使或撒旦
我不怕 因為你對我說話
這水喝了永遠不渴
這愛給了永不褪色
只要心裡相信口裡承認
所有不可能都能變成可能
別人會用什麼異樣的眼光看我
只能說他們做的他們不懂
禱告的雙手 緊握的拳頭
故事到了最後才知道誰是英雄
父親啊
祢的愛為何那麼大
我本來什麼都不是 詛咒裡掙扎
OH 天啊 人犯罪該受罰
祢卻背負了所有罪 在十架
我最崇拜的祢會原諒我嗎
犯罪的一面 我也覺得可怕
我最崇拜的祢會寬恕我嗎
迷失了以後想回家
祢要我知道 世界很多轟炸
孱弱的心靈 奉祢之名強大
祢要我知道 天地很多變化
活在祢之內我不怕
God bless! :)
