One Way

I lay my life down at Your feet.
You're the only one I need.
I turn to You and You are always there.
In troubled times, it's You I seek.
I put You first that's all I need .
I humble all I am, all to You.

One way, Jesus.
You're the only One that I could live for.
One way, Jesus.
You're the only One that I could live for.

You are always, always there.
Every how and everywhere.
Your grace abounds so deeply within me.
You will never, ever change.
Yesterday, today the same. Forever 'til forever meets no end.

One way, Jesus.
You're the only One that I could live for.
One way, Jesus.
You're the only One that I could live for.

You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life, we live by faith and not by sight.
For You, we're living all for You.

All Day! For the Lord!

When I was young, people kept on saying to me that there is a "proper" time to worship God and read the Bible. I was also taught that God is this Almighty God... to be feared! A God who punishes! Hmm, let's say as a kid... I felt God was so distant and hard to reach... I was worshiping out of fear.

I thought to myself... is God really this "punisher"? I remember my teachers say "Naku bad yan... magagalit si God!" (Translation: "That's bad... God will get angry!"). In a sense yes God will get angry if we do things that are against His commandments but... I think my teachers in religion class should have explained or showed the reasons behind the commands. I thought the commands were too "restrictive" or "harsh" but now; having my eyes opened, having my brain... WASHED! (Like Pastor Nixon shared "I'm happy they are brainwashing me... because my brain is full of dirt and I needed it washed!") I know God is a caring and loving God, and that the commandments are there because of love and concern. Thus, now I'm doing and following the commands not because of fear... but because I love God! They are not at all restrictive or harsh... infact they freed me from the bondage of this world! Wahooo!

Oh by the way, with regards to having a "proper" time for God... I say, EVERYTIME is a "proper" time for God! He should be part of our daily activities... from the time we open our eyes until we close them to sleep... wait... even in sleep! He's still part of it, hehehe... well the song below can help explain. Glory be to God!

This one is for the Lord! It's from the Hillsong Praise and Worship CD.

All Day

I don't care what they say about me
It's alright, alright
I don't care they think about me
It's alright, they'll get it one day

I love you, I'll follow you
You are my, my life
I will read my bible and pray
I will follow you all day

I don't care what it costs anymore
Cos' you gave it all and I'm following you
I don't care what it takes anymore
No matter what happens I'm going your way

All Day
All Day now
All Day

Anyone around can see
just how good you've been to me
For all my friends that don't know you
I pray that you would save them too

Love moves in mysterious ways

Been listening to this song (Nina Version) for couple of weeks now... ei Bethel (sa kanya yun playlist kasi and lagi tugtog hehehe) na-last song syndrome ako! Wahhh! Pero nice song nga eto.

Love Moves in Mysterious Ways

Who'd have thought this how the pieces fit
You and I shouldn't even try making sense of it
I forgot how we ever came this far,
I believe we had reasons but I don't know what they are,
So I blame it on my heart oh...

[Chorus:]
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
How love appears over the horizon
I love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mystery
Of how you ever came to me
Which only proves, love moves in mysterious ways

Heaven knows, Love is just a chance we take
We make plans, but then love demands of leap of faith
So hold me close and never ever let me go
'Coz even though we think we know which way the river flows
That's not the way love goes, no..

[Chorus:]
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
How love appears over the horizon
I love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mystery
Of how you ever came to me
Which only proves, love moves in mysterious ways

Bridge:
Like the ticking of the clock, two hearts beat as one
But I'll never understand the way it;s done, oh

[Chorus:]
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
How love appears over the horizon
I love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mysteryOf how you ever came to me
Which only proves, love moves in mysterious ways

Love moves in mysterious...ways.....

Yep I agree that love do move in mysterious ways! :D *dreamy eyed* ei... guys can be mushy too! Hehehe :D

On Fire! Wahoo!

I'm very happy to say that I've been a Christian for a month now. I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and everything and I mean bro... Everything is different! :) Everything is clearer... Simpler... Life is definitely worth living... living for Christ.

The world we live in today constantly bombard us with ideas that blind us to the truth. No wonder why our nation our world is like this. :(

"Lord I have been so blinded by this world that I was going through life as a daily routine... Simply existing for the sake of existing. I know that I am young in my faith and that with all my iniquities I am very capable of failing... But I know I can overcome any obstacle any test since I have you by my side. Nothing is impossible to you Lord! Mold me Lord to who I should be... Lead me Lord to what I should be doing... Change my heart so that I can serve you better, your will be done."

I'm excited to see and do what the Lord asks of me. Hmmm, I just joined "Campus Harvest" cool! We believe that the youth is/are the future of this nation / the world and if you want to change the world/nation you change their lives through Christ.
