cause you dared to
Crown of thorns. Nail-pierced hands. Flowing blood.
Suffering. Shame. Rejection.
THE CROSS. HIS LOVE.
Amazing Love
Hillsong Music Australia
I'm forgiven, because You were forsaken
I'm accepted, You were condemned
I'm alive and well, You're spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again
Amazing love, how can it be
That You my King would die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor You
Amazing love, how can it be
That You my King would die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor You
In all i do i honor You

Yhwh: I'm sorry. How are you doing?
Ivangogh21: Okay. I feel my life is a little disconnected. But it's good.
Yhwh: What do you mean?
Ivangogh21: I live in two worlds. At home I try to be good and help everyone get along. My life changed a lot last year. I became a Christian. but I'm not the same person at school and work. Thanks for being there for me. I don't even know your name. But you're a good friend.
Yahweh: I am your friend. But I am also the One you called out to last year. I'm God.
Ivangogh21: Huh? What are you saying?
Yahweh: You spend so much time chatting on-line or on the phone, telling others what's wrong with you and your family. But you never talk with Me.Ivangogh21: You're talking with me through instant messenger?
Yahweh: I am always ready to talk with you. Turn to me. I'm there instantly. Thanks for letting me know about your family. I care for them, too.Ivangogh21: Can I talk with you anytime?
Yahweh: Yes, but next time pray. It's faster and easier.
"God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble."
Psalm 46:1
Written by Tom Felten in Our Daily Bread Campus Journal: Wisdom of Life.
I suddenly felt guilty after reading this article this morning. First, because of the vast amount of time I used to spend chatting at YM (yah, chat addict ako nun! pero ngayon hindi na.. :D defensive ba? hehe! :p ). And second, because I always look for someone to listen to my problems, forgetting that that Someone is God. That He's waiting for me to tell Him the things that bring me sorrow and pain...
As I reflected on what God taught me today, I remembered the song sung by Jaci Velasquez...
Just A Prayer Away
Tears that fell like rain
Streamed down from my heart
Colors turned to gray
Emptiness led the way
Until I fell apart
You came to save
To show me that
Chorus:
You're just a prayer away
No matter where I am
I know in my heart
You're never too far
When I'm losing my way
You're just a prayer away
My strength is in my faith
I'm never alone
I'm never afraid
'Cause You're just a prayer away
When I close my eyes
Lord, I call Your name
And the dark subsides
Nothing can take the place
Of the peace I find
You came to save me
To show me that...
Chorus
Bridge:
Whenever i need to find You
I just fall on my knees
In You I find the strength that I need
To live, to believe...

My Love Songs for My Savior
FOREVER -
Hillsong Music Australia
I'll Worship at Your Throne
Whisper my own love song
With all my heart I'll sing
For You my Dad and King
I'll live for all my days
To Put a smile on Your face
And when we finally meet
It'll be for eternity
And Oh how wide You open up Your arms
When I need Your love
And how far You would come
If ever I was lost
And You said that all You feel for me
Is undying love
That You showed me through the cross
I'll worship You my God
I'll worship You my God
I love You
I love You
Forever I will sing
Forever I will be with You
Be with You
YOU ARE -
Gary Valenciano
Chorus:
You are the love of my life
You are the hope that I cling to
You mean more than this world to me
I wouldn't trade You for silver or gold
I wouldn't trade You for the riches untold
You are, You are my everything
I wouldn't take one step without you
I could never go on
I couldn't live one day without you
I don't have the strength
To make it on my own
Bridge:
Until the world stops turning
Until the stars fade from the sky
Until the sun stops rising
I need you in my life
And here's the reason why
