I was reminded of a song.. a song that was always ringing in my head.. never fails to let me see how great is my God..
The God I Know
KC Gan / City Harvest Church
(verse)
When the stage is bare tonight
There's no one else
Just You and me
When the curtains close behind
There's no pretense
I'm on my knees
(pre chorus)
I will lay down my life
For the love sacrifice
You gave to me
It's all because of You
All because of You
(chorus)
The God I know
Righteous and Holy
The God I know
Faithful and true
The God I know
My tower of refuge
Hearts are healed
Christ revealed
The God I know
Light of the City
The God I know
Strengthens the weak
The God I know
Your heart beats within me
As You are, so are we
(bridge)
This is my cry
My one desire
More of You
More of You
(last chorus)
The church He knows
Righteous and Holy
The church He knows
Is faithful and true
The church He knows
A tower of refuge
Hearts are healed
Christ revealed
The church He knows
Light of this city
The church He knows
Strengthens the weak
The church He knows
Is strong and mighty
As He is, so are we
Things around us will change.. people you know.. will change.. and then you begin to realise.. the only thing that will never change is God Himself.. He hasn't change and will never change.. His word stand yesterday, today and forever.. His love is powerful.. His grace is overflowing.. we get so easily affected by people around us.. because they hurt us.. I have been through crazy times.. down times to the extent of hopelessness.. but God never fails to reach out to me.. asking me to trust Him again.. asking me to follow Him closely.. giving me His hope..
In the midst of all these.. I grew.. I learnt to be independent from others and dependent on God.. I learnt humility towards my leaders.. I learnt how to put my faith in God even though things look really bad..
Last week during youth service SiEr spoke about God's grace.. I finally saw the wonders of the grace of God.. the amazing truth about the grace of God.. the overflowing of it.. There is not enough words to describe it.. 2 songs came to me.. when he spoke about grace..
I See Grace
New Creation Church
Jesus My help
I call out Your name
I cast my cares on You
Jesus my hope
my tower of strength
my faith has found in You
I see You pierced
wounded for me
when I look to the cross I see
I see grace
sealed by your sacrifice
I see love
reaching for me
Precious blood
washes and sanctifies
Healing flows
setting me free
I see grace
Bearer of sin
Afflicted and tried
You paid redemption's price
Bearing my curse
You set me on high
Your death has brought me life
I see You pierced
wounded for me
when I look to the cross I see
I see grace
sealed by Your sacrifice
I see love
reaching for me
Precious blood
washes and sanctifies
Healing flows
setting me free
I see grace
It's all about Jesus
PlanetShakers
It's all about Jesus
It's all about the way he changed our lives
It's all about Jesus
The power of his blood can't be denied
It's all about Jesus
It's all about the convenant he made
It's all about Jesus
Victorious he rose up from the grave
We lift our hearts to him
He is the reason that we sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
We praise your name
It's all about Jesus
It's all about the way he set us free
It's all about Jesus
Bearing all our sins at Calvary
It's all about Jesus
It's all about the gift of love he gave
It's all about Jesus
The precious lamb of God was slain
We lift our hearts to him
He is the reason that we sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We praise your name
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We praise your name
We lift our hearts to him
He is the reason that we sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We praise your name
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We praise your name
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We praise your name
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We praise your name
It's really just all about Jesus.. ALL about Jesus.. sometimes I sing this song.. and I don't understand what I am singing.. but when Si Er shared on Sat.. It's really all about Jesus.. I finally saw and understood.. Jesus did all that needed to be done.. what's left on our part is to believe Him and follow Him.. He took the pain.. the punishment.. the hurts.. all we need to do is to repent.. repentance is a change of mindset..
When God said He loves us. He means it.
