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.
talk about "You fill my heart with songs that never ends..." :P (another 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.
=)
