Forever
I worship at Your Throne
Whisper my own love song
With all my heart I'll sing
For You my Dad and King
I live for all my days
To put a smile on Your Face
And when we finally meet
It will be for eternity
And oh, how wide You open up Your arms
And when i need Your love
How far You would come
If ever i was lost
You said that all You feel for me is undying love
That You shown me through the Cross
i worship You my God
i worship You my God
i love You, i love You
Forever i will sing
Forever i will be with You
Be with You

After the sermon on water walking, the very first test that came to me was on the same day i said i would wanna do it! To have a bigger heart for the people, this heart is called Compassion. But i failed. but i'm still caught in His grace.As i was going home with sharon and lionel from Yingxian early birthday, along the train line somewhere there was this indian man who entered the same train cubicle as i am. He looked demolished, shattered and whatever word you can describe, totally distraught as he look at probably a photo in his black wallet. Total remorse covered his face, i sat there at my seat, being filled entirely already with the compassion of Christ, but where was the movement? As i sat there on my seat, frozen by my pride of being afraid of embarrassment, i rationalized and gave in to the assumption that he needed to be alone.My eyes kept looking at him and the 1 empty seat beside him. It was as if God was pushing my eyes and telling me to move. once again, i didn't dare. The indian man didn't shed a tear, but as he kissed the photo a few times and looking up, it seemed like he offered a prayer or something. As we approached Tiong Bahru MRT, he alighted the train.There and then i have already failed. i dunno until now, but the empty seat was a sign. and i walked to this carriage with the 3 empty seats for the 3 of us was for a reason, yet i was too afraid to move. i was afraid of being embarrassed. As i sit at home and ponder, i repented for being disobedience, it was a step of faith, a chance God gave to test my promise to Him. I know, there will be more, and i need prayers to humble myself and throw a compassionate arm around a stranger in need of a simple word of encouragement. God is good, He is so gracious and patient with me. I really need to move, i need to not be afraid, i need to be like Jesus, selfless and loving to those in need. This big heart which Jesus has, this big heart i need, this big heart called Compassion.

My Faithful FatherEnduring FriendYour tender mercy's like a river with no endIt overwhelms meCovers my sinEach time i come into Your presenceI stand in wonder once againYour grace still amazes meYour love still a mysteryEach day i fall on my kneesYour grace still amazes meO patient SaviourYou make me wholeYou are the Author and the Healer of my soulWhat can i give You?What can i say?I know there's no way to repay YouOnly to offer You my praiseIt's deeperIt's wider It's stronger It's higher than anything my eyes can see
The Grace of God rests upon me, the 25 years that i have lived on earth so far has strengthen my faith in God, and especially in the past year, by a thousand mile. God has always, always watched over my life, very carefully molding me into His likeness. Who else can love me this much that a God who sustains the universe in the palm of His hand would come down to earth to die for a wretch like me? Where else can i go? His love is deeper, stronger and wider.
Thank You Lord, so much that You have poured into me, so much more i have to give. Because of His Saving Grace, i can now stand and walk this earth to declare His promises. And yea it won't let go of me. Never let me go Father.

When you are Blessed, don't water down it by saying that you are pampered. When you are pampered, don't call it a blessing.Why i say that, because times where you are Blessed by God, you don't willingly accept it but you say that you're pampered. That's in some ways belittling yourself. True that you might say you don't deserve it, but your thankful heart does not come out of gratefulness but rather out of your own self pity and we don't need to pity ourselves. We are not beggars when we are in His Kingdom.When you are pampered, don't say it's a blessing. The fact that you take on the state of pitifulness and saying that everyone gives you something its a blessing. True it is, but you must get rid of being conditioned to being pampered. Because you might 1 day not get that 'blessing' and it then becomes an addiction to want a blessing. An expectation is formed, in the wrong way.

So i walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand
So what can i say
What can i do?
To offer this heart O Lord,
Completely to You(tears trickled down my face)when i sing this song with my guitar, i could feel the presence of God around me, i was moved, God was near, and i know there and then, the exchange must happen. now that You're near, i will offer devotion. when you fully understand His grace in Your life and His promises for you, you can't help but stand amazed.So i stand with arms high and heart abandonedIn awe of the One who gave it all.

the new year. 2008. and i'm gonna be 25. that's shocking number. i could never imagine that i would come this far. His grace and love is over me! it's evident! thank You God for being so faithful! i will always want to spend the crossover to new year with my church. it's so meaningful, hearing testimonies shared, praying and thanking God and have Holy Communion. where else can i go? 1 day in His courts is better than a 1000 days elsewhere. my 1st min hour moments are with my family. i love it! even my first breakfast is with my close ones. thank you all! and hope we go through this year together as well! we will grow and like the song i kept singing last night,
"i will try my best!" kambate all!

Destination =
Destiny +
NationRev. George Annadorai is the man God has chosen to raise people and youths like you and me to our nation Singapore destiny. What God plans for Singapore MUST come to past and as Christian of this age, it is not my leader's responsibility to fulfil God's plans for Singapore but it is ALSO my responsibility to make Singapore a Hub to our neighbours. Yes this is our call, either we embrace it since our father's generation never did, or God will once again pass us by our entire generation and wait for another few more who will then be more hungry.The very fact is, this current generation is most hungry than any in the past 3 generations or more. God is here, God is near, it's time to rise to our post and not focussing on the things that mean nothing but self-glorifying. It is up to us to save the world. Sound like an episode of Heroes, but like Heroes, we are given special talent, either we use it to help people, or we use it to abuse the people. Our talents and abilities enables us to tear the Giants down. It enables us, not helps us. Therefore, use it because it belongs and it's given to you. then we, the saviours can bring light and the blind will be free! the deaf will be free! the darkness flees!! and teaching them to obey ALL the things i commanded you.Don't just wanna stand here and shout Your praise, or walk away and forget Your name....
