Cornerstone - Hillsong United

The unchanging face of our God,
His identity, we focus our eyes upon
Our insecurities, all but fade away
because he is
we can hope. 

what a wonderful privilege it is
to know a God
a cornerstone
nothing of our own
but found only in the powerful name of JESUS.

Because he is LORD, because he is LORD
All things are possible.
Dreams are made real
Situations turned around
Water into wine!




My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus name

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus name

Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all

When Darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil

Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all
He is Lord
Lord of all

Christ alone
Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all

Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless stand before the throne.

Christmas Hope by New Song

Same time the previous year, I would have been the girl who wish Christmas would just pass me by, this year, it is all brand new. How amazing it is that Hope is a candle, that light in the window, showing the way for a heart to come home, Hope is a Savior, who was born in the manger, sent down from heaven, rescued our hearts.

This would be my best Christmas yet. Enjoy this beautiful song.



Christmas Hope

Her wish this Christmas
Was that Christmas would just pass her by
Nothing could reach her
Or answer her questions why
She feels so alone
And she wonders if all hope is gone

Chorus
Hope is a candle
A light in the window
Showing the way for
A heart to come home
Hope is a Savior
Who was born in the manger
Sent down from Heaven
To rescue our hearts
Our Christmas hope

She never imagined
That for her there was hope to find
But isn't it amazing
How God brings a heart back to life
She's smiling now she's finding out
What Christmas hope is all about

Chorus

Hope is a present
A gift freely given
To all who receive
And open their hearts
Hope is a promise
For a better tomorrow
In a world filled with sorrow
We always have hope
Our Christmas hope
Our Christmas hope

Where would I be without you - Toby Mac

Another dance-worthy song... something light-hearted. Let's dance!



Raindrops, rolling off my brim
Streetlights, got the pavement glistening
Touchdown, I fall into your arms
Right where I belong, your everlasting arms

Where would I be, without you
I'd be packin' my bags when I need to stay
I'd be chasin' every breeze that blows my way
I'd be buildin' my kingdom just to watch it fade
Away, it's true

That's me without you
That's me without you
That's me without you
Don't know where I'd be without you

Flashback, step into the scene
There's you and there's a very different me
Touchdown, you had me at believe
You had me at believe you did
And where would I be without you, without you
I'd be packin' my bags when I need to stay
I'd be chasin' every breeze that blows my way
I'd be buildin' my kingdom just to watch it fade
Away, it's true

That's me without you
That's me without you
That's me without you
Don't know where I'd be without you
Where would I be

You rescued me, now you are mine and I am yours
You rescued me and I am yours forever
You saved me, remade me
Where would I be

I'd be packin' my bags when I need to stay
I'd be chasin' every breeze that blows my way
I've been buildin' my kingdom just to watch it fade
Away, it's so true

That's me without you
That's me without you
That's me without you
Don't know where I'd be without you

The Stand - Hillsong

I surrender my all, my heart, my soul. All I am is yours, Lord...

"What if blessings come through raindrops...?"

Things of the world are not so apparent.
Sometimes they are shrouded in such mystery
it is difficult not to cry.
When sorry is the best word we can utter
yet it is not good enough.
When storms come when we least expect
and God still say this is the best 
Who can comprehend his great and awesome love
even when things of the world are not so apparent
his mercies outlast every single trial.

Loved this beautiful song about God's wonderous mercy and love...



LAURA STORY - BLESSINGS - 

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we have faith to believe

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It's not our home

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the achings of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise

Hello, my name is ..

When I first heard this song, it sounded a little too young-ish for my liking, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But I heard it over and over at the christian radio, pressumingly a top 10 and I finally hear what this song is all about.

There are things we do, think or feel which lead us believe in the enemy's lies. These lies, spelt "regret" and especially "defeat" can replay themselves over and over in our minds until it replaces our true identity in Christ. Once Satan succeed in causing us to doubt our identity, it is easy to drag us all the way down.

But God is more merciful & faithful than we can imagine. He draws close to us in our whisper. He is only but a heartbeat away.

I am no longer defined by all the wreckage behind. The one who makes all things true is proven is true. Yeah! :) Today, I want to sing "Hello, my name is child of the one true King. I've been saved, I've
been changed, and I have been set free. "Amazing Grace" is the song I sing. Hello, my name is child of the one true King! What love the Father has lavished upon us, that we should be called His children. I am a child of the one true King."

After a gruelling four months, dawn has finally broke. I believe I am finally begin to taste freedom. Thank you God. What a God. :)



Hello My Name is - by Matthew West

Hello, my name is regret 
I'm pretty sure we have met 
Every single day of your life I'm the whisper inside 
That won't let you forget
 
Hello, my name is defeat I know you recognize me 
Just when you think you can win I'll drag you right back down again 
'Til you've lost all belief
 
These are the voices, these are the lies And I have believed them, for the very last time
 
Chorus: Hello, my name is child of the one true King 
I've been saved, I've been changed, and I have been set free 
"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing 
  Hello, my name is child of the one true King
 
I am no longer defined by all the wreckage behind  
The one who makes all things new Has proven it's true 
Just take a look at my life
 
Hello, my name is child of the one true King 
I've been saved, I've been changed, and I have been set free 
"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing Hello,
my name is child of the one true King
 
Bridge: What love the Father has lavished upon us 
That we should be called His children  
I am a child of the one true King
What love the Father has lavished upon us  
That we should be called His children
 
Chorus: Hello, my name is child of the one true King 
 I've been saved, I've been changed, and I have been set free 
"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing Hello, 
my name is child of the one true King
I am a child of the one true King

Steady my Heart

Wish it could be easy
Why is life so messy
Why is pain a part of us
There are days I feel like Nothing ever goes right  
Sometimes it just hurts so much

But You're here You're real I know 
I can trust You
Even when it hurts
Even when it's hard  
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You Cause I know that You are 
Lover of my soul  
Healer of my scars  

You steady my heart (x2)
I'm not gonna worry I know that 
You got me Right inside the palm of your hand
Each and every moment  
What's good and what gets broken

Happens just the way that You plan
And I will run to You  
And find refuge in Your arms
And I will sing to You Cause of everything 
You are You steady my heart (x2)

Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) - Hillsong United

I was in a vortex situation. Things were spiralling downwards quickly. I wrote furiously. Every single thought that sprang up, I wrote it down. I had my journal everywhere I go. It was one of the ways I learnt to cope.  I did that intensely for the first month, then gradually over the second month.

Then I would worship on my keyboard in the morning and cry at my desk in the afternoon when kids nap. I cried at the movies, I cried during worship, I cried whenever something triggered a memory. The tears would come at the most unexpected moment.

I read voraciously. I found solace in perfect strangers, in biographies of those who went through the same. I kept away from people who judged or "knew better". 

I was reminded by what the pastor said, " A desert is a place you go alone. No one could go with you. It is also a place that God can be found."

Today, I was reminded of the Shofar. The first pendant I bought last year was a Shofar pendant. Shofar is a symbolism of victory. I fell in love with the pendant when I first saw it. I love being victorious. I think it is an important aspect of life and no one should live without experiencing Spirit-led victory in their lives. I remembered it was kept carefully in a box and I had not worn it for awhile.

F. Scott Fitzgerald said that the "test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." I seriously have no idea how a person could live like that. I tried and could not. Was I suppose to be running high on first-rate intelligence yet ignore a heart that was literally torn into two, with either side shouting the loudest?

It was a feeling that could easily lead one to give up on everything, or risk it all and go for the kill. Either or, it is a neurological mixed-up. I believe I was a double-minded man, unstable in all my ways. James 1:8 that "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."

It was difficult to shake that off.  In the midst of educating and caring for the children, organising and running activities with the various groups that I was taking care of, the Lord would so graciously set aside time for me. He met me in unexpected moments.

He draws me gently, soothes my pain and let me drink by his living stream, a sip at a time. I learnt to enter his rest again, a familiar embrace that never once gave up on me.

Peace and Strength are found his presence. And this is no two opposing ideas. This song echoed my deepest heart cry.

"Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior."

As if someone up there hears me, a lady in church prophesied over me yesterday, "Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4.

There is only one way and it will be the Lord's way.

"Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now"

Please enjoy this wonderful worship song.



"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)"

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
[x6]

I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine

We are weak, but you are strong

I first heard "You are my strength" in a friend's wedding. Watching my friend who had gone through so many relationship trials prior to her getting married, I could understand why this song.

I found myself so weak in similiar strain. Sometimes, something will trigger a memory and I couldn't help but cry. I may be strong in some areas, but I am definitely weak in others. Everyday, I seek for solitude so I can hide in the shadows of His wings. This song definitely takes me there. It is also for you. When you are weak, He is strong. 

Lord, you see a heart that is bleeding
there is no way to run
except towards you

but sometimes I still want to runaway
And I don't even know why
I see the past, I see the present
And I bleed

Won't you stay in my heart forever
so that no other can come in?
how long will this journey be
I am weary and I want to rest

Hold me, show me, tell me
how great your love is for me
Stronger, Deeper, Higher, Fuller than anything I can imagine



You are my Strength - Hillsong

You are my strength
Strength like no other
Strength like no other
Reaches to me

You are my hope
Hope like no other
Hope like no other
Reaches to me

In the fullness of Your grace
In the power of Your Name
You lift me up
You lift me up

Unfailing love
Stronger than mountains
Deeper than oceans
Reaches to me

Your love O Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Reaches to the skies

Striving is a work of the flesh

Today, God said "ceased striving" Striving is a work of the flesh. If our flesh is week, we are only fighting flesh with flesh when we strive.  When our flesh is weak we need grace. It is done, God has done it all on the cross. I just need to know I am redeemed and follow my redeemer. Away from the old life...

Awesome truth, awesome song. I am redeemed, you set me free, shake off these heavy chains, rub off every stain, I'm not who I used to be ...



Seems like all I could see was the struggle
Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past
Bound up in shackles of all my failures
Wondering how long is this gonna last
Then You look at this prisoner and say to me
“Son, stop fighting a fight that's already been won”

(Chorus)
I am redeemed
You set me free
So I'll shake off theses heavy chains
And wipe away every stain
Now I'm not who I used to be
I am redeemed
I am redeemed

All my life I have been called unworthy
Named by the voice of my shame and regret
But when I hear You whisper, “Child lift up your head”
I remember oh God, You're not done with me yet

Chorus

I don't have to be
The old man inside of me
'Cause his day is long dead and gone
Because I've got a new name
A new life I'm not the same
And a hope that will carry me home

Chorus (X2)

Lyrics

You are God - Philips, Craig and Dean

Some time at some point of our lives we experience pain. Sometimes it stems from being helpless, sometimes we fall, sometimes we hurt, sometimes we lost. And we want to shake that feeling off, only it wouldn't go away as easily.

I was walking along the underground walkway at Orchard Road the other day and saw a busker. I whipped out more than I would usually give. He said "thank you very much", and I could tell he was surprised and immensely grateful. Unknown to me, my act of self-preservation at trying to heal my own pain through random act of what I thought was an extravagant gift looked feeble in contrast to his gratitude. God spoke to me instead. He said, "My child I forgave and I was the one who was extravagant" That is why this song  spoke to me, God is still in control no matter what circumstance.We can never out-give him, even in our pain. We cannot save ourselves. I used to believe we love only when we give till it hurts. But I know now God doesn't want our act of pious-ness, he wants our hearts. When we truely love, we give our hearts unreservedly.

When I was in the bookstore yesterday, a little child of about 2 or 3 came to me as I was browsing. He couldn't look at me in the eye, and was holding back his tears. He asked "Aunty, do you know where is my m...mummy?" I looked at him and was at once overwhelmed with his sense of lostness-ness. I stood up and assured him & held his hands, "Its ok, little boy, your mummy is looking for you too, she should be in this shop."

He was sobbing as his mum emerged from behind the shelves. The scene vividly reminded me of the God, our heavenly father who is always there, always looking for us when we get lost. He never forsake us and never gave us up. Do we look for him when we are lost? He is unchangeable, unshakeable, unstoppable, that's what he is, he is God alone. Right now, in the good times and bad, he is on the throne. He is God alone. If you have a situation that is taken right out of your hands, trust it into your loving heavenly Father's. Be blessed.



 You are not a God
Created by human hands
You are not a God
Dependant on any mortal man
You are not a God
In need of anything we can give
By Your plan, that's just the way it is

[chorus]
You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
You are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone

You're the only God
Whose power none can contend
You're the only God
Whose name and praise will never end
You're the only God
Who's worthy of everything we can give
You are God
And that's just the way it is

[chorus]

[bridge]
Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That's what You are

The more I seek you - Kari Jobe

If there may be a place in your heart that you needed someone to reach down and say you are worthy, you are beautiful , you are needed, how much you are wanted and treasured. know that this person is God. If there may be times you face rejection, know that God never rejected you. If there may a place you have fallen short, know that God's mercy wants to embrace you. If there may condemnation, God's love said that his heartbeat is for you. Know that he will  let you lay against him and let you hear his heart beat. So much is his love, he is beckoning you to melt in his peace. Be blessed. 



The more i seek you,
the more i find you.

The more i find you,
the more I love you

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

The more i seek you,
the more i find you.

The more i find you,
the more I love you

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace...

I ask for a stronger vocal chord!

God find us in the way he can reach our heart. I have a wish. I love singing but the song is in my heart, when it comes out from my lips, I always think I don't sound good enough. But I could not stop singing. And thank God he looks into our heart, because I won't even stop to listen to myself sing! yeah.. pretty bad, that is. So while I am recovering from a nasty cough, I want to sing this song in the studio. Why, I could ask God for a stronger vocal. My voice has always been thin, as my once choir teacher from Singapore Youth Choir described it and I dislike it. But then if God can heal the sick, he can change my vocal chords... ha! So yes, I will ask. And I will sing this song in the studio till God change me. Because he is God!



Phillips Craig And Dean - You Are God Alone Lyrics

You are not a God created by human hands
You are not a God dependent on any mortal man
You are not a God in need of anything we can give
By Your plan that just the way it is

You are not a God created by human hands
You are not a God dependent on any mortal man
You are not a God in need of anything we can give
By Your plan that just the way it is

You are God alone from before time began
You were on Your throne,
You're God alone And right now, in the good times and bad
You are on Your throne and You're God alone

You're the only God whose power, none can contend
You're the only God whose name and praise will never end
You're the only God who's worthy of everything we can give
You are God that's just the way it is

You are God alone from before time began
You were on Your throne, You're God alone
And right now, in the good times and bad
 You are on Your throne and You're God alone

Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That's what You are

Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That's what You are

You are God alone from before time began You were on Your throne,
You're God alone And right now, in the good times and bad
You are on Your throne and You're God alone

Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That's what You are

Revival - Mark Robin

The day is nearly ended. What do you do at the end of the day when all's done. I retreat to the most amazing place on earth, God's presence and I soak.  I can't contain my joy and I have to shout it out! And I was hoping you can hear me!

This blog went through so much in the last 6 years. It is my personal journal, my heart cry, my challenges, my inspiration, but it is one walked with the one whom I love most, my Lord, my papa God. Today, finally, housekeeping is done. This would be a blog that is dedicated largely to my Faith Journey & Education.

I believe there is no where on earth better than God's presence and if I have the chance, I would love to bring you all here.  So in little ways, I blog about what I experience. It is my belief that men of God that God calls will walk in spirit and in power. And signs and wonders would be as natural as seeing rain. It is my heart to see people set free, saved and freed. It is my heartbeat that people's eyes open to the truth.

In all things, there is a solution. There is a way. And you never have to walk in fear, or be in bondage. Friends, when the day is done, where do you go? Come, come to the place of rest.

Best place on earth - God's presence. Enjoy!



I hear the voice of one calling, prepare ye the way of the Lord.
And make His paths straight in the wilderness
And let your light shine in the darkness
And let your rain fall in the desert.

As sure as gold is precious and the honey sweet,
So you love this city and you love these streets.
Every child out playing by their own front door
Every baby laying on the bedroom floor.

Every dreamer dreaming in her dead-end job
Every driver driving through the rush hour mob
I feel it in my spirit, feel it in my bones
You're going to send revival, bring them all back home

I can hear that thunder in the distance
Like a train on the edge of town
I can feel the brooding of Your Spirit
"Lay your burdens down, Lay your burdens down".

From the Preacher preaching when the well is dry
To the lost soul reaching for a higher high
From the young man working through his hopes and fears
To the widow walking through the veil of tears

Every man and woman, every old and young
Every fathers daughter, every mothers son.
I feel it in my spirit, feel it in my bones
You're going to send revival, bring them all back home

I can hear that thunder in the distance
Like a train on the edge of town
I can feel the brooding of Your Spirit
"Lay your burdens down, Lay your burdens down".

Revive us, Revive us,
Revive us with your fire!

Because of who you are

Loved this worship song. Amazing voice, incredibly great in declaring His name, the truth! Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Nissi!

Because Of Who You Are lyrics

Because of who You are, I give You glory
Because of who You are, I give You praise
Because of who You are, I will lift my voice and say
Lord I worship You, because of who You are
Lord I worship You, because of who You are.

Because of who You are, I give You glory
Because of who You are, I give You praise
Because of who You are, I will lift my voice and say
Lord I worship You, because of who You are
Lord I worship You, because of who You are.

Jehovah Jireh, my Provider
Jehovah Nissi, Lord You reign in victory
Jehovah Shalom, my Prince of Peace
And I worship You, because of who You Are

God of Jacob

Who is this God of Jacob?

Jacob's name means surplanter or deciever. Jacob was that self-willed, selfish businessman. Jacob stole his brother's birthright, cheated his dad and then was cheated by his Uncle in return. For 25 years Jacob ran away from his family. Time does not heal. It only pushes things further into the recesses of the heart and it got worse. But God was with him, not because he was good, but because God was good.

He was a man who wrestled with the angle until God touched him. God had to remove the strongest part of his body so that through nothing, he can be finally look to God for strength. It was symbolic of his tendency to rely on his natural strength and ability. Through brokeness, he was made whole. And his name is no longer Jacob but Israel.

I am convinced that we too have dip our hands, our eyes, our hearts, and our thoughts hence our time and energy that corrupts that which does not glorify. So like Jacob we are self-willed and selfish. Because God in his abundant grace does not bull-doze his way with us, we get into the habit of squandering our God-given freedom.

So in the attittude of humility, let God turn our eyes from evil. Give us pure hearts, let us not lift our souls to another. Let nothing be above the love we have for him. Let nothing from the past nor the present holds us down from being abandoned to God.

Revival can only start with us. Humility begets repentance, begets revival. Make this your prayer today and stand for ourselves and the generation.

Shekinah Glory - Holy Spirit Increase

Have you ever felt like wanting to be engulfed by heaven so badly? I remembered I was in church one day and wanted to stand up on the chair and reach my hands into the sky ... all because I wanted so much to touch heaven. My spirit has already tasted heaven but my physical body hasn't yet caught up. And my heart would ache and ache and suddenly, I realised that must be how we pine for home.

Its amazing how we are only made whole in the Spirit, Mind, Soul and Body. God is more than good, he always desire to meet us to complete us. All we need is to wait on him. Only that the waiting can be so much more difficult in this age when everything seems to move at lightning speed.

You know, I have to say Lord, I am grateful. Grateful because I am a stay home mum and because I stay home I can control the pace and filter the amount of junk I recieve or not!

As I sat , late into the night at my laptop, soaked in the presence of the Lord, pondering upon things of the day and tossing about with Jesus. I felt a sense of heaven overcome me again. God told me "praise opens heavens" and I was pleased each time I praise, something happens in the heavenlies. He is such an awesome awesome God.

... for the various upheavals throughout the day.
The heart of being in hope, of pining and wanting to close a chapter of my life,
2 or 3 months in wanting, of searching, praying, perceiving and confusion at times,
a sudden situation that reminded me of not being the favourite child
an anxious heart that weighs upon a matter, and
a memory of long time ago revived

I say I can't get enough of your presence, presence
I say I need the release of the fullness of your spirit, so I say, Shekinah Glory come!
I need more..... more ... more....

Where his presence dwells, there is freedom..
peace... strength... courage... hope...

Enjoy this amazingly gentle yet anointed worship. He reigns forever. Wait for Him.
