cry

cry
Lost in You alone
Is where I wanna be
To hear Your voice

Softly in my ear
You whispers words to me
That I am yours

Can't live a day without Your presence
Closer to You
I wanna be

My soul cries out
For more of You my Lord
My portion and hope
I close my eyes
And feel You near
There's nobody else that can take Your place
In my heart


thank you DOM and YONGHUI!
i wont let you guys down!

thank you

thank you for the promises You made
for the gift of life You gave
always i will sing Your praise

thank you for the chance to live again
for Your grace that never ends
always i will sing Your praise

hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah
my beloved king to You i sing

hallelujah song

You mean everything to me
You're all this world will never be
Your name reigns in my heart
You're all that i depend on


HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SIHUI!
sihui rocks.
and ying rocks too.
cos without them, i wouldnt have been tht keyboardist on stage today.

without sihui, i wouldnt even be in church today.
i cant imagine.
life without all the wonderful brothers and sisters of hoGc,
life without my great leaders,
life without the best loving Pastors i could ever have.
life without Jesus.
wht would life be like if one year back, sihui gave up on me and stopped inviting me to church?
i rmb being reluctant to come at first cos i didnt want to feel left out and stuff (i understand how sihui felt thn now)
thank God weien came with me in the end and since thn, i've NEVER regretted making tht decision.
the only thing i regret about is missing tht three weeks after red rain before finally coming to church.

tdy's the big debut for the sixth worship team of hoGc.
think it was great!
great job guys!
it's gonna be quite some time before we get together again and play as this yet-to-be-named wt.
i cant wait for the next one.

i think through this seven rehearsals over the last two months, i've really learnt so much.
not just skills-wise.
i drew so much more closer to God and it's just so amazing.
and just imagine i didnt listen to ying tht time while we were all at esmonde's house.
i rmb we just came back from some game and were resting before we played mafia.
ying was telling me about how we have only male keyboardists and most of them are going to ns soon.
i guess any other person will simply overlook such stuff especially when it was said at such a time and environment.
but hey, why are we in the city today?
bcos Pastor How took Pastor Kong's casual remark seriously.
thank God i took ying's words seriously and joined sow keyboard even though i have completely lost the passion for piano.
if not i wouldnt have gotten the chance to work with pple like aaron, mingrong, davis, roy, weihao, etc.
and most imptly i wouldnt have gotten the chance to lead pple into His presence.

thank you sihui, thank you ying!

"dexter! ruoen put A leh!"

stolen from ongah from teckyang!

what if..

what if, GOD couldn't take the time to bless us today because we couldn't take the time to thank Him yesterday?

what if,GOD decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we didn't follow Him today?

what if,we never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when GOD sent the rain?

what if,GOD didn't walk with us today because we failed to recognize it as His day?

what if,GOD took away the Bible tomorrow because we would not read it today?

what if,GOD took away His message because we failed to listen to the messenger?

what if,GOD didn't send His only begotten Son because He wanted us to be prepared to pay the price for sin.

what if,the door of the church was closed because we did not open the door of our heart?

what if,GOD stopped loving and caring for us because we failed to love and care for others?

what if,GOD would not hear us today because we would not listen to Him yesterday?

what if,GOD answered our prayers the way we answer His call to service?

what if,GOD met our needs the way we give Him our lives?

FREE

leadership seminar is so amazing.
it drew me so much nearer to God and made me determined to change my bad habit of procrastinating things that i dont like to do.
like homework.
like telling mrfoo tht im sick and tired so art and i want to drop art.
i told mrfoo tht tdy and i feel so free now.

anyway, God's presence was extremely overwhelming throughout the conference.
just makes me want to love God more and more and MORE!

Amazing
You're my everything
the reason i sing
You've taken me under your wings
and closer to You i draw near
my life's in Your hands
my heart beats
in Your perfect love
my lips shall praise You
adore You
and lifting my love
i will sing

You're amazing
never changing
always with me
enthroned within my soul
overflowing
my heart offers
deepest of honour and worship
amazing

war of the worlds

war of the worlds is a great movie.
totally worth your seven bucks if you watch it on weekdays, your nine bucks even, when you watch on weekends.
super cool effects.
the credits was rolling and i was still stunned in my seat with my eyes wide opened and jaw dropped.
shook my way down to the 3rd floor thn only stop.

it makes me wonder, if such a thing REALLY happen, no power, no phone line, no reception, no battery, no car,
where is the first place i would go?
who is the first i would go to?
would i just stay home with my family?
or go find all my family in Christ who at the very least, lives near me?

i think the first thing i would do is pray.
thn wait for an answer.
for all you know, maybe God wants all of us to be like the seventy salvation army youths, sharing Christ even though it means death.

im not afraid of death
cos i have Jesus, my Potter, in me
