God...

What is life all about?

What will my future be like?

Where are you leading me?

What is my purpose in life?

What is your dream for me?

-fundamental questions brought about by an ordeal of fever...

Pride away

A forgotten life record of mine... Been long since Ive post, dunno why suddenly feel like posting when I have tons of work waiting to be done... Dunno what to say, where to start Uni life is sapping the life out of me, dun like it at all... But oh well its just part and parcel of life Ive to go thru... Cant wait for hols to come, that long break... Need to pull up my grades badly...
Just had Sunday youth Levites gathering yesterday... Never felt God break me so badly before, deep calling unto deep, that particular fear that Ive hidden so well and never thought of it being resurfaced again was dugged up by the Almighty God, just one touch of His hand, just felt Him literally bringing me back on my journey to pick up those particular pieces again... To stare face to face at that giant once again... Couldnt say that Ive totally defeated it, but Ive got to understand why God gave me my theme verse for the year to be Jer 17:7,8... And it was yesterday that I finally got to experience that confidence and courage in God that Ive nv had and I know that Ill nv have it unless Im in God... Cant express fully in words but all I can say that God is God... and we mere humans?- Submission will always be the best remedy...

Somewhere between the hot and the cold

Somewhere between the new and the old

Somewhere between who I am and who I used to be

Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me

`

Somewhere between the wrong and the right

Somewhere between the darkness and the light

Somewhere between who I was and who You're making me

Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me

`

Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control

Fearless warriors in a picket fence, reckless abandon wrapped in common sense

Deep water faith in the shallow end and we are caught in the middle

With eyes wide open to the differences, the God we want and the God who is

But will we trade our dreams for His

Are we caught in the middle

`

Somewhere between my heart and my hands

Somewhere between my faith and my plans

Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves

Somewhere between a whisper and a roar

Somewhere between the altar and the door

Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more

Somewhere in the middle You'll find me

`

Lord, I feel You in this place and I know You're by my side

Loving me even on these nights when I'm caught in the middle

precious grace

你的恩典每天够我用

总有困难也不必逃避

有你与我一起

我还惧怕什么

赐我勇气去改变自己

奉献一生因最爱是你

为了你我愿将一切抛弃

; my one desire

Hope

I call, You hear me

I’ve lost it all

And it’s more than I can bear

I feel so empty
`

You’re strong I’m weary

I’m holdin’ on

But I feel like givin’ in

But still You’re with me

`

And even though I’m walkin’ through

The valley of the shadow

I will hold tight to the hand of Him

Whose love will comfort me

And when all hope is gone

And I’ve been wounded in the battle

He is all the strength that I will ever need

He will carry me
`

I know I’m broken

But You alone can mend this heart of mine

You’re always with me
`
And even though I feel so lonely

Like I’ve never been before

You never said it would be easy

But You said you’d see me through the storm

seasons

I lift up my eyes to the hills—

where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.
`

He will not let your foot slip—

he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.
`

The LORD watches over you—

the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm—

he will watch over your life;
`

The LORD will watch over your coming and going

Both now and forevermore.

`

-psalm 121-

desert prayer

O God, you are my God,

Earnestly I seek you;

My soul thirsts for you,

My body longs for you,

In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
`

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

`

They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.
They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God's name will praise him,

While the mouths of liars will be silenced.

--- psalm 63---

more than enough

I have never walked on water

Felt the waves beneath my feet

But at Your word Lord, I'll receive Your faith

To walk on oceans deep

And I remember how You found me

In the very same place

All my failings surely would have drowned me

Still You made a way

`

You are my freedom

Jesus, You're the reason

I'm kneeling again at Your throne

Where would I be without You

Here in my life

`

You have said that all the heavens

Sing for joy at one who finds the way to freedom

Truth of Jesus bought from death into His life

And I remember how You saw me

Through the eyes of Your grace

And though the cost was Your beloved for me

Still You made a way

- Here in my life; hillsongs-

Companions

When everyone is concerned with how high you can fly

Only a handful would ask how tired you were when you are flying
How many would truly fly together with you in times like this?

`

`

`

`

few, perhaps none.

Vulnerability.
An incomprehensible word to digest.

Nothing compares
You promised.

2008

Relieved that the year is over

Tough, trying

Yet faithfulness proven true

New year, new beginning

Challenges ahead, battles to fight

Greater capacity

Learning to stand

Lonely path

They tell you where you need to go

They tell you when you need to leave

They tell you what you need to know

They tell you who you need to be

`

But everything inside you

Knows there's more than what you've heard

There's so much more than empty conversations

Filled with empty words

`

And you're on fire when he's near you

You're on fire when he speaks

You're on fire burning out these mysteries

`

Give me one more time around

Give me one more chance to see

Give me everything you are

Give me one more chance to be near you

`

When everything inside me looks like everything I hate

You are the hope I have for change

You are the only chance I'll take

`

I'm standing on the edge of me

I'm standing at the edge of everything I've never been before

And I've been standing on the edge of me, standing on the edge

-onfire;switchfoot-

Storm

How long have I been in this storm?

So overwhelmed by the ocean’s shapeless form

Water's getting harder to tread

With these waves crashing over my head

`

If I could just see you

Everything would be all right

If I'd see you

This darkness would turn to light

`

And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

I know everything will be all right

I know everything i'ts right

`

I know you didn’t bring me out here to drown

So why am I ten feet under and upside down

Barely surviving has become my purpose

Because I’m so used to living underneath the surface

How do you know that you believe?

Sometimes I just want...

`

To get away from the reality of this world

To be blinded from my ugliness and weaknesses

To move forward and not look back

To have quality relationships

To just be who I am

To be happy

`

Only in your presence

`

`

`

`

I just want my life to praise you.

So easily I fall, So easily you reach your hand out

Quickly will I drown in all the pools of all my reason

So easily will I fear,

So easily will your peace surpass me

Quickly will I trust in anything I think is worthy

How many times you make the waves calm down

So I won't be afraid now

`

I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall

What am I supposed to do

I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall

What am I supposed to do

`

How precious are your thoughts

The many that you think about me

Faithful are your ways

I always feel your grace abounding

Quickly will I call

Quickly will you answer my cry

Carefully will you bring everything I need in my life

How many times you make the waves calm down

So I wont be afraid now

`

This narrow road Im walking,

This world I try to draw,

Your work will help me fight it,

With you I'll face it all

------breakmyfall; jeremycamp-----

never give up on me

I am scared to fall,

Scared to carry on,

Am I losing to the cynic after running for so long?

There's a child in me, lost in mystery.

But its buried underneath the earth, longing to be free.

`

Will You see me through this valley?

Will You hold my outstretched hands?

As the world caves in around me,

Will You help me understand

Feels like a big part of me is gone

Can't seem to focus on anything

Why do I feel so helpless and weak?

When now is the time I need to stand strong

`

Wipe away the tears

Stand up and fight

Birth forth courage within me

The reason to believe

Potter's Hands

Beautiful Lord, Wonderful savior

I know for sure all of my days are held in your hands

Crafted into your perfect plans

`

You gently called me into your presence

Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit

Teach me dear Lord to live all of my life

Through your eyes

`

I'm captured by your holy calling

Set me apart

I know you're drawing me to yourself

Lead me, Lord I pray

`

Take me, mold me

Use me, fill me

I give my life to the potter's hand

`

Call me, guide me

Lead me, walk beside me

I give my life to the potter's hand
