Deeper in love

In my life, You've heard me say "I love You"
How do I show You it's true
Hear my hearts
It longs for more of You
I'm falling deeply in love with You

You have stolen my heart
I'm captivated by You
Never weary and I fall
I'm falling deeply in love with You

You and I together forever
Nothing can stand in the way
My love for you grows stronger each new day
I'm falling deeply in love with You

I will be still, know You are God

Feeling quite down now... due to work reason...
Whenever feeling like this, i will always listen to "Still" by Hillsong.

Still - Hillsong

Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hands

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are King over the flood
I will be still
Know You are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are King over the flood
I will be still
Know You are God

Here in my life

Here in my life - Hillsong

I have never walked on water
Felt the wave 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
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

Run the race with Him

It was indeed a very stressful day for me. I was telling my best friend that, if I have no Jesus in my life as my strength and help, i probably already jumped inside Singapore river.

After a long day of work, i went to Vivo city on my own, just sort of having a "me-time". For the first time in a long time, i didn't really have a proper dinner. I ate "Old Chang Ki" snacks (now i realised it's quite fat, but was very satisfying that time). After that i went to the outside of 2nd floor, and just staring at the Harbour Front view. It was very beautiful. There was a cruise near the deck, and suddenly got this urge of taking 2 day off, and go on a cruise hahaha. Then, i realised, i'm in Singapore, a foreign place for me. "Why am i here again?" i asked God. "This job is so stressful, what is this job got to do with the calling You called me?" (Auditor vs. Worship Leader, sounds like 2 totally different worlds isn't it?)

He answered, " Believe Me, the ministry you'll be going in the future, is going to be so much harder than right now. The current job you're doing is providing a very good training ground for you. Don't give up. Be patient and persevere. I'm always with you. I will give you the strength and grace you need."

Then the song "I will run to You" by Hillsong came to my mind.

Your eye is on the sparrow
And Your hand it comforts me
From the ends of the earth
To the depth of my heart
Let Your mercy and strength be seen

You called me to Your purpose
As angels understand
For Your glory
May You draw all men
As Your love and grace demand

And i will run to You
To Your words of truth
Not by might
Not by power
But by the Spirit of God
Yes i will run the race
Til I see Your face
Oh let me live in the glory of Your grace

Not by my own might and power. But it's really by the Spirit that i'm able to run to Him. Like i said, if i only depend on my own strength, i probably ran to the Singapore river already hahaha... Thank God i have God. =)

When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
I was senseless and ignorant;
I was a brute beast before You.
Yet I am always with You;
You hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with Your counsel,
and afterward You will take me into glory.
Whom have i in heaven but You?
And earth has nothing I desire besides You.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
- Psalm 73:21-26

I Offer You my life

All that I am
All that I have
I lay them down before You, O Lord
All my regrets
All my acclaim
The joy and the pain, I'm making them Yours

Things in the past
Things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes
All of my plans
My heart and my hands, I lifted to You

Lord I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through
Use it for You glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifted my praise to You
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life

I love this song so much. It's simple, but whenever i sang it, i can feel my whole heart will be just poured out to Him, telling Him i love Him so, so much.

I heard it somewhere, that each of us has a God-shape gap in our heart. Before we came to know Jesus, there will be this empty gap. We might try other things to fill in the emptiness, eg. work, money, success, BGR romance (including the korean dramas) etc. But the truth is, those things will never ever fit the gap well. Only Jesus can. =)
