spend it all

I open up my eyes, oh Lord

To see all the things you've done

I open up my heart, oh God 

To feel your unfailing love

And I open up my all to you

All my life for your glory to show

And I open up my soul to you alone

Come make yourself at home

And I'll give all that I have to give

'Cause it's everything I am, Lord

In this life I'll spend it all for you

I'll waste it all on you

I offer up my mind to you

I long for the truth, you know

I offer up my feet to you

They'll walk straight on the path you show

I offer up my time to you

So keep me and hold me still

And I offer up my hands to you

Lord, use them to do your will

And I'll give all I have left to give

'Cause it's everything I am, Lord

In this life I'll spend it all for you

Yeah, I'll waste it all on you

I'll waste it all

Let your Spirit take me over, God

'Cause it's all I ever need

Yeah, you're all I ever need, Lord

And receive this life in offering, God

'Cause I spend it all for you

Yes, I spend it all for you, Lord

Ooh, I spend it all on you

Powerful stuff. The lyrics and the music. Dang. These guys are so blessed.

To be able to reach out to others through good music, is just...wow. Amazing.
By the way, their music is available for download for free on their website. 

Have a blessed day ahead!

heart of worship

Some guy posted this question in a P&W forum.

Hi guys,
Do you have requirements on who joins the worship team?
Do they have to be members of the church first to be able to join?

The first reply was this: 

Must be able to scissor kick a ninja blindfolded.

I lol-ed at this. Funny fella.

And then:

 If they can't worship without a stage, they don't deserve to lead others from one.

BAM. Right there. A heart of worship. It's when we don't care about what's around us. When we feel free to jump around, to shout, and to fall to our knees.

On another note: Ascend the Hill is dope. Seriously.

time waits for no man

It's July already. Can't believe how fast time flies. Soon it'll be the end of my high school life. And I still don't know what I want to study... Sighhh...
But I guess it's good to know I'm not alone. Hah.

So, now that I realized that soon I'll be graduating, I start to wonder whether I have done enough in school.

I'm not athletic, I'm not a genius. I don't think my school will remember me at all haha. Heck, I hardly even come for koko. #malas #apanakbuat
Hopefully some of the teachers will remember me. Heh.

I guess it's safe to say, I'm not ready, and will never be ready, for school to end. I still want to be the boy at the back making jokes with his joker friends (and sometimes with the teachers). I still want to talk nonsense and football with my friends.

Okay. August coming. Study.. Err...
I'll see you around.




Fun fact of the day: Lincoln Brewster is 41 years old. Still a rockstar!

anguish

Pastor Anand shared this video in Rally.



I see more of the world coming into the church, and impacting the church. Rather than the church impacting the world.

We've held onto our religious rhetoric and our revival talk. But we've become so passive.

All true passion for Christ comes out of a baptism of anguish.

the love of Jesus

God's love.

I always overlooked His love. I took it for granted.

Only now has it hit me, how great is His love for me.

I want you to read this in my point of view. You are brokenhearted. Sad, lost. You feel like you have let everyone down. 

"Remember, that God will always love you. Even if you were the only person on Earth, Jesus would still die for you."

Wow.

God's love is unconditional, never ending. His love never fails. It heals the broken, and fulfills the hungry.

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. - 1 John 4:10

I'm extremely grateful for His love in my life.

You dance over me
While I am unaware
You sing all around
But I never hear the sound

Lord I’m amazed by You
Lord I’m amazed by You
Lord I’m amazed by You
How You love me 

How wide
How deep
How great
Is Your love for me
