Privilege

With You as my Leader
I fear nothing

With You as my Shepherd
I stray nowhere

With You as my Friend
Loneliness never prevail

With You as my King
Poverty never exist

You make every effort
To answer my prayers
You would show Your comfort
When listening to my fears

You made the promises unharmed
You talk to me every night
You take me into Your arms
When time doesn't seem right

You gave up Your all
To exchange for mine
It is such a privilege
To be wholly Thine

THIS IS MY FATHER'S WORLD

This is my Father's world,
and to my listening ears
All nature sings,
and round me rings
the music of the spheres.

This is my Father's world,
the birds their carols raise,
The morning light,
the lily white,
declare their Maker's praise.

This is my Father's world,
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees,
of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.

This Is My Father's World
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong
seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.

This is my Father's world,
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King;
let the heavens ring!
God reigns;
let the earth be glad!

This is my Father's world,
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass
I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.

YOU

Your story
The grace
the mercy
You gave

The light
In the darkness
The cleansing
Of sins

The taste of
Goodness
The gift of
Freedom

The hill of
Calvary
The Spirit
You committed
To the Father

The Blood
Shed for me
The pain
You bore

Thank You
The Cross
Proclaim
Thy throne

Holy one
My precious one
None other
You

Maybe I did the RIGHT thing
Maybe I didn't.

I expressed my discontent to the two of them today. I told them how I felt. How hurt it was to have people whom I treated as brothers (in-christ) to insult me in every aspects. One of them rebuked by saying that they were helping me to train my endurance. However, that was just a lie. A WHITE LIE. Sarcasm! Listen to the tone he used, the way that he spoke. It was as if he was possessed by the devil. I really wanted to give him a punch right in the face at that time. God (the Spirit) stopped me. He granted me self-control. Thank God. Well, I continued the conversation with a solemn tone, serious expression and caused the atmosphere to be a sober one. However, they just treated them as jokes and continued to laugh and didn't take my words seriously. Lord, maybe I should leave them. Should I? I can't compromise with them any longer. I will go bonkers. It's both physical and mental struggles. It's hard to get along with them. Lord, please help me. Convert this hatred into love. Into brotherly-love, that You have commanded. I really wish to live according to Him. In accordance to the Holy Spirit and set my minds on the things above. This earth is just temporal, it will fade away someday. But the kingdom up there will never cease. Well, furthermore, I have another prayer request here. Please pray for me on whether I should leave Emmaus. Pray for God's guidance for me. Pray that He will lead me where I can grow and glorify Him in every ways. Well, there is a a-maths re-test tomorrow. hmm... well... studied only a bit... still lack of confidence... well... I should stufy now... bye...

IN HIS SIGHT

Let Thy Spirit works in me
That I may not stumble
Let Thy Spirit be with me
That I may be matured

Teach me to be Christ-like
Remind me not to hurt
Correct me my every fault
That I may be perfect

May Thy Spirit makes me humble
That I may not boast
May Thy Spirit grants me wisdom
That I may be wise

Show me Thy Kingdom
That I may be convinced
Deliver me from harm
So that I may believe

Educate me to forgive
That I may be forgiven
Allow me to inherit
The treasures in Heaven

May I be matured
May I be perfect
May I be wise
In the sight of You

THE DIFFERENCE

I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me?"
I wondered,
He answered, "You didn't ask".

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on grey and bleak,
I wondered why God didn't show me,
He said, "You didn't seek".
I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock".

I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.

Just found her familiar and asked jonathan who was that.. hm.. bought a cup of "Lemon-Cola" from "California Lemonade" which cost me $2.90... so expensive. They just squeeze some lemon juices and added in a can of coca-cola (should be diet coke, but dunno why the lady used a red one)... haiz... well... not really nice... imagine you have to spit out some lemon seeds as you walk... I had to do it in such ways that no one sees ($500 fine lehz)... hahaz... well... the route we took to the mrt station was quite deserted... hahaz...
