Slow Fade by Casting Crowns with lyrics

This song serves as a good reminder to us, whether our daily choices bring us nearer to Him or further away ...
We'll have to bear the consequences of our choices, especially at times when we have hardened our hearts.

Of course, He is gracious to us whenever we come to Him again and again, but we should not take His grace for granted...

Everlasting God by Lincoln Brewster

This song has been ringing in my head since last weekend .. haha =)

All else will fade but God lasts forever ... His grace, love and mercy last forever.

Every Time I Pray (我以禱告來到你跟前)

A song that I sang as a teenager in church. The chorus echoes the truth as a believer in Christ - Pray - in whatever situations we are in.

I still prefer the chinese lyrics though yesterday then I realised, it was originally writen in English but popularised in Mandarin.

我以禱告來到你跟前

詞、曲：吳華樂

１﹒我以禱告來到你跟前 我要尋求你
我要站在破口之中 在那裡我尋求你

每一次我禱告 我搖動你的手 禱告做的事 我的手不能做
每一次我禱告 大山被挪移 道路被鋪平 使列國歸向你

２﹒主我是軟弱及無助 你卻是我的力量
以你親切的手引導我 那就是我的得勝

An amazing teaching on classical music and passion. His passion is indeed contagious.
Just listen to it though classical music is not your cup of tea =).

''SHEPHERD OF MY SOUL''

Shepherd of my soul I give you full control,
Wherever You may lead I will foll-ow.
I have made the choice to listen for Your vo-ice,
Wherever You may lead I will go.

Be it in a quiet pasture or by a gentle stream,
The Shepherd of my soul is by my side.
Should I face a mighty mountain or a valley dark and deep,
The Shepherd of my soul will be my guide.

Shepherd of my soul Oh You have made me whole,
Where’er I hear You call how my tea-ars flow.
How I feel your love how I want to se-rve
I gladly give my heart to You O – Lord.

Be it in the flowing river or in the quiet night,
The Shepherd of my soul is by my side.
Should I face the stormy weather or the dangers of this world.
The Shepherd of my soul will be my guide.

我要向高山舉目

(詩 121:1-2)
"我要向山舉目。我的幫助從何而來。我的幫助從造天地的耶和華而來。"

Tommy Emmanuel - Since We Met

Instrumental music without words has its way of inviting us into its world ...

Just the melody itself, plus your little bit of imagination and that instinctive feel, a story unfolds according to its title.

Home

Most of the time when you think of foreigners, you may link to the idea that their home is somewhere else... far away perhaps.

Well, as a foreigner in Singapore, who have stayed for like 8 years, I'm really glad and thankful to say that, I actually have a home here in Singapore, that I look forward to going back everyday =).

The place is rented, partially furnished, mostly second hand furnitures, no air-conditions, limited space ... but it is the people that makes a difference.

This is also a home filled with God's grace because we almost had no where to stay and by divine appointment, we secure this place within one day.

No matter how tired I feel after toiling for the whole day, when I reach home, I feel refreshed and sometimes, I can even start a second round of work.
"God's presence must have something to do with it." I always have this conviction.

Come to think of it, we foreigners may be quite lucky because most people have a home but we can have two, only if you wish to make the place that you are staying now - a home.
