When I Praise


When I Praise

Lookin' for love and I lost my way
Another long night has turned to day
Nobody likes to feel this way
So I draw close to you
It's what I'm supposed to do


Lookin' for love and I close my eyes
I run to you with no disguise
You hold me close and say "it's fine"
You take me in your arms
And you soothe this heart of mine


And I throw my hands up in the air
Here's my heart 'cause I don't care-
What they say about me, I gotta praise
I throw my hands up in the air
'Cause I know that You will find me there
Find me when I praise


Lookin' for love and I hide my face
(Lookin' for love and I hide my face)
What about the scars and disgrace
(Should I hide my disgrace)
But You meet me there in spite of my shame
Your blood covers it all, And You carry me away


And I throw my hands up in the air
Here's my heart 'cause I don't care-
What they say about me, I gotta praise
I throw my hands up in the air'
Cause I know that You will find me there
Find me when I praise


My heart is on my sleeve and I am on my knees
And my hands are in the air, oh yeah
And it's hard to believe that I am on my knees
With my hands in the air, oh yeah


And You come close beside me
And You say You're here to guide me
I don't ever have to be alone
And Your love has led me home


Lookin' for love and I found my way
(Lookin' for love and I found my way)
I ran to You and I heard You say
(I ran to You and I heard You say)


Everything's gonna be okay
I don't have to wait another day

And I throw my hands up in the air
Here's my heart 'cause I don't care-
What they say about me, I gotta praise
I throw my hands up in the air'
Cause I know that You will find me there
Find me when I praise
Looking for love and I lost my way
Another long night has turned to day
Nobody likes to feel this way...


So, back to post a rather (short) or long entry, unless you consider the words above, guess that it'll be considered long then. =) Although talking about love, it's kinda different from the songs that you'd usually hear on the radio regarding the "L word". ❤ this song as it can be related to when you "fall out of love" and sometimes, you're just taking it one day, one step at a time living each day as it comes. Our God is so faithful, that all He wants is just to be given a chance to prove His faithfulness and His love as said in the song above. Gonna quote something from an e-mail that I just received recently, part of it that made me wanna cry.

"God is from everlasting to everlasting, and for our sins He died on a cross. And when He did that, there was a message He planted in our hearts. Closer than any text messege you could store. Closer than a note in your wallet or pocket.When He died for our sins, He said to us, over and over again: "I love you, I love you, I love you."

His name is Jesus Christ.

(above not written by me)

Sometimes (make that many times actually), we look in the wrong places for love. When what we really do is go to the Creator God who created love in the first place and who loves us so so very much. But like what Bro Wai says, really, where else could I go? If i don't go to Jesus?

Truly, there is no where else.

Much love!

Hot Chocolate

Received this in an e-mail first thing in the morning and liked it so much, decided to blog it. =) Will update next week once submissions are over, till then! ' Hot Chocolate' A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups - porcelain, glass,crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: "Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems...

Lazy Weekend

See, now that holidays are here, have more time to write and update... Hehe...Nothing much to say, except that i enjoyed my very lazy weekend. =) After papers on Friday, went down to church and then went walking at Central with Sharon . It was nice just walking around without having to worry about school or anything and just basically chill... Hehe... Also managed to test my baby which has been restringed (with a bit of help from Ian ) and lots of advice from 2 pro guitarists. =) The strings are stretched, so that it doesn't go out of tune after every song, but it still needs some time to be seasoned. =) It sounded so good, so played until 3am and then went to crash... Hehe... Woke up early on Saturday morning and met Lih Min to send dear Ira off to the airport, walked around a bit then went off to meet Da Jie at Ya Kun for breakfast. =) and we both realized it's been like, almost a year since we met up! That's madness~ But the year has really flown by... Went for cell (...

(Lot:) The angels said to hurry The Lord will judge our city Theres safety in the mountains Somewhere, that sits on higher ground "Darling, let's run hand in hand, We cannot look behind us..." Then all at once it happened And i knew she had turned around Seemed like i heard her say " Run on, there's nothing left behind you . " I could almost hear her whisper " Be strong, Dont ever slow down ." Its ringing in my ears The silent testimonies Oh, Salt pillar, i'll never turn around Down through the years, since i started walking Some friends have come and gone I don't know why some changed their mind. But in my memories, i see the monuments to failure And now i know if i would listen, i could hear them testify I can hear them saying "Run on, there is nothing left behind you" Those old friends are shouting "Be strong, don't ever slow down" Its ringing in my ears All thier silent testimonies. Oh, salt pillars I'll ne...
