All Things New - True Worshippers

2012-02-05T11:25:00.000+08:00

Alive. In You we're so alive
With new hopes in our hearts
For the freedom that You gave
Yeah, the freedom in our lives
Our lives have been redeemed
By the beautiful blood of Christ
So now we come to You
So now we worship You

You make all things possible
You reign victorious

All our voices sing
All creation bring
Their adoration for the king
Who reigns in the glory
Behold the One who's making all things new
For we have been redeemed
Yes we have been set free
And You are all we need
So now our lives will shine for all to see

The Poem On Truth

2012-01-23T18:12:00.003+08:00

The Poem on Truth

Everything as seen by the eye is His creation.

He who has no beginning and no end, is three persons in one.

The heaven's gate was closed to the first man's sin and reopens through the Son.

Rid of all false religions, we should become real disciples admired by everyone.

The Poem Of The Cross

2012-01-23T18:10:00.003+08:00

THE POEM OF THE CROSS by Emperor Kang Xi

功成十架血成溪，百丈恩流分自西。
身列四衙半夜路，徒方三背两番鸣。
五千鞭挞寸肤裂，六尺悬垂二盗齐。
惨动八垓惊九品，七言一毕万灵啼。

When the work was accomplished, blood formed a creek
Grace from the west was thousand feet deep.
He who lowered himself for us stepped on the midnight trip.
Before the rooster crowed twice, betrayed thrice was He.
Five hundred slashes torn every inch of his skin.
Two thieves at six feet high hanged besides him.
The sadness was greater than anything seen by anyone.
This poem is for You, the Holy one.

The Treasure Of Life

2012-01-23T18:09:00.001+08:00

Poem by Emperor Kang Xi on his faith in Jesus.

English translation:
THE TREASURE OF LIFE

The treasure of heaven is comprised of Sun, Moon and Stars;
The treasure of earth consists of crops, gold and silver.
The treasure of a kingdom is to have righteous officials;
The treasure of a family is to have descendents with piety.
Yet, Gold, silver and jade are not as precious as one's life.
Hundred years of age is nothing compared to eternity.
Coming and going in life is like a dream.
The best food and clothing don't mean a thing.
It's no exception for someone born in a royal family.
The most important thing in the world is life.
Something that white jade, gold and silver can't buy.
Even plain porridge can be satisfying;
No cloth is fit to wear for a thousand years.
The heaven's gate was closed due to the first man's sin;
The path to salvation is through the Son only.
I would like to accept God, the Son and the Holy Spirit;
And receive from thee my free gift of eternity.

By the hand of KANGXI of Qing Dynasty

Your grace is sufficient for me

2012-01-08T01:21:00.003+08:00

Your grace is sufficient for me, and I’m loving You, more and more.
Your face is all I want to see, and I’m loving You, more and more.

When I behold You in the word, I learn to walk in victory,
I know that when I’m weak You’ll make me strong.
If I’m about to fall, I know your hands are always there.
Jesus, I love You more and more.

By Ps Tom Rawls, Gary Houston, 1986?

Hallelujah (For as long as I have breath)

2012-01-02T13:48:00.004+08:00

Captured by Your beauty
Broken at your feet
Desperate for a touch of You my lord
Changed by Your glory
Overwhelmed by grace
Lord I know I’ll never be the same again

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
For all You have done
Hallelujah (2x)

For as long as I have breath
my lips will glorify
I will sing praise to You my king

Sleigh Ride

2011-12-17T14:18:00.000+08:00

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing,
Ring-ting-tingle-ing too,
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you,
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling, "Yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up,
Let's go, let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up,
It's grand, just holding your hand,
We're riding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy,
And comfy cozy are we,
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be,
Let's take that road before us,
And sing a chorus or two,
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray,
It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day,
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop,
At the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop; Pop! Pop! Pop!

There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy,
When they pass around the chocolate
And the pumpkin pie,
It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Currier and Ives,
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives!

To Another Level

2011-12-12T23:37:00.000+08:00

I see an open heaven
I sense a breaking of new ground
I feel a new anointing
This new love that I have found

Living waters flow over
Come wash from deep within
My heart is ready now

Deeper in You
To another level
I will find my breakthrough
Deeper in You
I need You Holy Spirit
Consume my heart and make me Yours again
In You I'm forever changed

Precious breath of heaven
Fall afresh upon me now
My life is on the altar
Come anoint me with Your power

In Your Arms, O Lord

2011-12-07T21:58:00.001+08:00

In Your arms, O Lord, is where I want to be
It's Your face I want to see
Please show in me, what I was meant to be
Then I'll know just why I live

O Lord, I give my life as an offering to You
To be purified as gold, according to Your will
O Lord, make my life count for You
I'll go through the fire for You

This Amazing Love - Emily Laudeman

2011-05-08T17:03:00.000+08:00

BLESSED Mother’s Day!!!!! =D

When He put me in this world
When He chose you as my mother
He sure made it right
He made it just right

‘Cause you love me in a way
That’s not like any other
It must be a part of heaven’s design

This amazing love
Has arms that reach to hold me
Has hands that shape and mould me
And wipe away my tears

There’s a place inside your heart
That feels like home to me
Where this amazing love is what I need

With a faith in things unseen
On these wings of gentle spirit
I rest in your prayers
At the end of each day

Covered by your love
I can face my future not fear it
Learning to stand
On my own feet of clay

God is good and Jesus loves me
I know these words are true
‘Cause He said, “Just as a mother comforts,
So I will comfort you”

There’s a cold that comes in winter
With a fire that love sustains
Where a mother’s touch and the hand of God
They somehow feel the same

Where your amazing love
God’s amazing love
This amazing love is all I need

When A Child Is Born - Connie Talbot

2010-12-30T00:01:00.001+08:00

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass, when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around
You got the feel, you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass, when a child is born

It's all a dream and illusion now,
It must come true sometime soon somehow,
All across the land dawns a brand new morn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.

The Gift Goes On - Sandi Patty & Orlando Children's Choir

2010-12-17T00:10:00.001+08:00

The Father gave the Son
The Son gave the Spirit
The Spirit gives us life
So we can give the Gift of love
And the Gift goes on
And the Gift goes on
And the Gift goes on
And the Gift goes on

Don't you love to get a present wrapped up in a Christmas bow
God gave each of us a present on that night so long ago
It's a Gift that keeps on giving if our spirits can receive
It's the secret joy of living if our hearts can just believe

And the Gift goes on
And the Gift goes on
And the Gift goes on
And the Gift goes on and on and on
And the Gift goes on
And the Gift goes on
And the Gift goes on
And the Gift goes on and on and on

When your life is full of Christmas then your life is full of love
You can give away the present that began with God above
Just like ripples in the water the circles of our love extend
What was started with the Father is a Gift that has no end

How Beautiful (Body Of Christ) - Twila Paris

2010-09-01T00:04:00.003+08:00

How beautiful the hands that served
the wine and the bread
and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful the feet that walked
the long dusty roads
and the hills to the cross.
How beautiful
how beautiful

how beautiful is the body of Christ.

How beautiful the heart that bled
that took all my sin
and bore it instead.
How beautiful the tender eyes
that chose to forgive
and never despise.
How beautiful
how beautiful

how beautiful is the body of Christ.

And as He laid down His life
we offer this sacrifice
that we will live just as he died:
willing to pay the price
willing to pay the price.

How beautiful the radient Bride
who waits for her Groom
with His light in her eyes.
How beautiful when humble hearts give
the fruit of pure lives
so that others may live.
How beautiful
how beautiful

how beautiful is the body of Christ.

How beautiful the feet that bring
the sound of good news
and the love of the King.
How beautiful the hands that serve
the wine and the bread
and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful
how beautiful

how beautiful is the body of Christ.

And all that You are
What I can bring to You
I offer my heart

Wonderful magnificent God
I'm humbled by the life You gave
Beautiful Redeemer You are
Worthy of my highest praise

What can we give to You o God
For everything You have given to us (repeat thrice)
We offer our lives to You o God
For everything You have given to us (repeat thrice)

Wonderful, You are Wonderful (repeat twice)
Wonderful magnificent God.

You Have Been Good - Scott Krippayne

2010-07-01T00:45:00.001+08:00

If I never get to see another rainbow
Or share another life with a friend
If I never stand barefoot by the ocean
Or get to kiss my child goodnight again

If I never have another prayer that's answered
Or have another blessing come my way
If this is all I know of heaven's kindness
Father, I would still have to say

You have been good
You have been good
And I am in wonder how could it be

You have been good
You've been so good
So many ways, You've been good to me

You've shown me mercy upon mercy
Grace upon grace, time after time
And I know all too well what I'm deserving
Yet, You are still so patient and kind

Suddenly it all were ended
And Your blessings disappeared
Looking back over a lifetime
The evidence is clear

You Are So Faithful - Bob Fitts, Greg Gulley, Lenny LeBlanc

2010-06-06T15:02:00.001+08:00

Like the sun that rises everyday,
You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful.
Like the rain that You send,
And every breath that I breathe,
You are so faithful, Lord

Like the rose that comes alive every spring,
You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful.
Like the life that You give,
to every beat of my heart,
You are so faithful, Lord.

I see the cross and the price You had to pay,
I see the blood that washed my sins away.

In the midst of the storm
through the wind and the waves,
You'll still be faithful, You'll still be faithful,
When the stars refuse to shine and time is no more,
You'll still be faithful,
You'll still be faithful, Lord.

Oh happy day, happy day

Free at last, meeting face to face

Endless joy, perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate Jesus is alive
He's alive

Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious way
That You have saved me
Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious name

Oh, it hurts to know the hundred times I've caused You pain.

Even long before I knew You, You were loving me.

Sometimes I cry - You must cry, too

We have heard the thunder
And we have seen the storm
Echoes of your kingdom coming
Rumours of our home
Where one day we will stand before you Lord
Our altogether beautiful reward

And we will give you glory bring you honour
King above all kings
You deserve our everything
We will lift our voices with your praises
Jesus you are our king

Though now we walk in darkness
Though now we see in part
Right now we're warmed by the burning flames
Of the fire in our hearts
You've promised you will lead us to your throne
Where we will worship you and you alone

We will give you glory (repeat w/echo)

My Heart Longs For You / My Living Sacrifice - Claude Fraysse & Leila Hamrat

2010-01-24T23:42:00.001+08:00

Jesus, O Jesus, '02 (1:50)

My heart longs for you, my Saviour;
I would follow You, my Lord.
Your kindness and love are vast as the skies;
Your faithfulness never dies.
My God and my King, Your great Name I sing;
My offering of praise I bring.

Jesus, O Jesus, I give You my life;
Jesus, O Jesus, I give You my life.

My soul contemplates Your glory
I worship in holy awe
In quietness and in confident trust
I rest in all that You are
I'll sing to the world Your glory and grace
Until I behold Your face

Blessed Assurance - Fanny Crosby

2010-01-18T00:20:00.002+08:00

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Saviour all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Saviour all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Saviour am happy and blest,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

One of my all-time favorite contemporary Christmas tunes. 'I'll be home for Christmas' by Josh Groban

I am dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find you
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

If only in my dreams

Love Is Not A Fight - Warren Barfield

2009-10-12T17:31:00.000+08:00

Fireproof Soundtrack

Love is not a place to come and go as we please
It's the house we enter in, then commit to never leave

So lock the door behind you, throw away the key
We'll work it out together, let it bring us to our knees

Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door
Love is not a fight, but it's something worth fighting for

To some love is a word that they can fall into
But when they're falling out, keeping that word is hard to do

Love will come to save us, if we'll only call
He will ask nothing from us, but demand we give our all

I will fight for you; would you fight for me?
It's worth fighting for

~ Our Beloved Section's History ~

2009-09-09T20:39:00.000+08:00

A LONG, LONG time ago (sometime in 2005?), in a land FAR, FAR away (Singapore!), it all started out as one single SUNNYDALE cell consisting of the Lee family.

We grew SO big that at times we had 20+ people crowding the place, and we thank God for that.

1st multiplication was to bring LIGHT cell to more people in the land.

Next up, MIMOSA came up out of SUNNYDALE on Tue 2 Oct 2007.

LIGHT was bringing joy to the world, and thus they themselves multiplied into GEMBIRA & SK260C on Fri 5 June 2009.

Fri 2 Oct 2009, exactly 2 solid years to the day after MIMOSA multiplied out from SUNNYDALE, the 2 cells would thus combine to multiply out and form 3: MCNAIR (the original founding SUNNYDALE cell having shifted and thus changing name), MIMOSA & SUNNYDALE!~

And the story continues on & on & on......................

Where to next? To the ends of the earth!~

Stay tuned folks!~

=)

P.S. People who dream of opening up their homes for cell: Abby, Sophia, anybodyelse?????

Who makes
The sun light up my shadows
When the darkness tries to follow me
Who makes
The air that brings me life
So I can breathe the love that's given to me

You make everything good
Everything wonderful
You grace my days
And heaven fills my view
Let's forever sing
You make everything pure
Everything beautiful
You make me see the only thing that's true
It's you

Who makes
The waters of my sorrow part
And leads the gladness into my heart
Who makes
The rivers run that wash away
And clean my soul to make a new start

You hung the moon
You placed the stars that shine your love for me
I hope all that I do
Will show reflections of you

3 Habits to Help You Grow Spiritually

2009-04-30T17:08:00.005+08:00

“But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress” (Psalm 59:16 NLT).

We all want our relationships to be characterized by persistence and self-sacrifice. But we can never do that on our own. The kind of love we long to show others is only found in a growing relationship with God. Without God's power in our lives, our love will run out.

You don’t build that kind of relationship with God—one that will help you love others when you want to give up—by accident. You do it through habits. Here are 3 habits that will help you grow in your relationship with God.

1. A daily quiet time.
Let God talk to you through the Bible and through prayer. Nothing will help your life more. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:16, “This is the reason we never lose heart. Our body does suffer wear and tear, but every day the inward man receives fresh strength” (PH). Outwardly our body suffers wear and tear, but spiritually we can be renewed every day by spending time alone with God. It’s not hard. Read through a chapter of the Bible, meditate on it, and talk with God about what’s going on in your life.

2. Small group.
The Bible says in Hebrews 10:25, “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another…” (NIV). You need to spend time with other believers. I hope you have a church family. Be a part of whatever mechanism they have to connect you with a small group, whether that’s a Sunday School or off-campus small group. You need the prayer support and encouragement of other believers. A Christian without a small group is an orphan.

3. Worship through song.
Psalm 59:16 says, “I will sing about your strength, my God, and I will celebrate because of your love” (CEV). Singing builds you up. The singing time at your church isn’t just the warm-up act; it’s just as important as the message. Don’t miss it this weekend. Also, put some worship music on your iPod or MP3 player this week and don’t be afraid to sing along. It will recharge your soul and give you the God-given strength to love others.

Fill us anew we pray,

A passion for Your Name,
Spirit of God fall in this place,
Lord have Your way,
Lord have Your way with us,

Come like a rushing wind,
Clothe us with power from on high,
Now set the captives free,
Leave us abandoned to Your praise.

Lord let Your glory fall,
Lord let Your glory fall.

Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
A passion for Your Name.

Of forgiveness, God, and the Holy spirit

Firstly, I've read something online that touched me a little bit so I'd like to post it up here...

Some of my personal deep thoughts this week...

'Can you call yourself a Christian?' - when I have judged someone by my own high/worthless standards.

'Can you call yourself a Christian?" -when I have neglected my own spiritual life, forgetting even that hey, I could... pray in the Holy Spirit...

Food for thought.

'How to forgive someone who has hurt you'

Orginally from Oprah magazine with insight from Dr Ben Kim.

Here's the part that I felt a strong connection to:

My father was a carpenter. He used his hands to pour concrete and hammer nails. He also used his hands to beat me.

I was a tall child, but sickly—I had asthma—and when I went to work with him, the sawdust made me cough. I preferred staying home, writing and drawing. I conjured up other worlds: worlds in which I didn't worry about being poor, in which I was someone else's child, a child who lived in a mansion and had a dog. My father—a man with a third-grade education who was orphaned at 2 and sent to work in the fields at 5—understood only the physical. He thought he could beat the softness out of me and make me hard like him.
When I was 21, I left my house in New Orleans and headed to Atlanta to be a playwright. I got a day job as a bill collector and scrimped and saved to put on my play I Know I've Been Changed— a musical about recovering from an abusive childhood. But even though I was writing about recovering, I wasn't doing it. Every day I felt angry and bitter and terribly lonely. I rarely dated, and if a woman told me she loved me, I headed for the door. My play bombed; 30 people came on opening weekend. I put it on the next year and the year after that, and each time, it bombed again. Finally, 28 years old, out of money and months behind on my rent, I started sleeping in my car. When the car broke down, I asked my father to cosign on a new one, as he had just done for my sister (the light-skinned sister he adored). When he refused, I forged his signature. And when the car got repossessed, he called me, yelling. Sitting in that little room I'd just scraped together enough money to rent, listening to him berate me, something snapped. Something dormant in me woke up, and I began to yell back.
I told him that he'd hated me since I was born, that I didn't deserve the things he'd done to me. Everything I'd ever felt or thought—even things I hadn't been aware of—came out. When I was done, the line was silent for a long time. And then, for the first time ever, my father said, "I love you."
After we hung up, I felt light, empty, and exhausted. I knew that I would never again look at my father in hurt or anger. But in a strange way, I also sensed that something had died. I sat crying for hours, as if I were in mourning. My energy source, my fight, the rage that had moved me every day—it was all gone.

Slowly but surely, I began to fuel my days with joy instead of fury. That year—call it coincidence, call it karma—my play sold out. Then it sold out again, and then again. I began to write new plays, and the theme of forgiveness runs through them all. It's simple: When you haven't forgiven those who've hurt you, you turn your back against your future. When you do forgive, you start walking forward.

I can't get over how powerful his last statement is:

When you haven't forgiven those who've hurt you, you turn your back against your future. When you do forgive, you start walking forward.

I understand and agree with the idea that forgiving others is more about your peace of mind then it is about their feelings. You don't have to make it known to those who have hurt you that you have forgiven them.

The issue is learning how to transcend the hurt, how to get to a place in your heart and mind where the hurt is no longer holding you back from fully caring for others and allowing yourself to be cared for by others.

Is it possible to truly forgive all transgressions?

How do you forgive someone who physically abused you when you were a child?

How do you forgive someone who raped you or a family member?

How do you forgive someone who spread vicious and humiliating lies about you?

How do you forgive parents who put their own needs and egos way ahead of your basic emotional needs as a child?

How do you forgive a parent who left you when you were young?

How do you forgive someone who has sucked the joy out of your life through his or her negative, hypocritical, phony, lazy, selfish, and ill-tempered behavior through decades of marriage?

Maybe complete forgiveness is impossible in some cases. Maybe hurt that you have encountered is so bad that you will suffer to some degree until you pass on because you will always be angry at the people who hurt you.

If you are determined to find a way to free yourself of the burden of chronic anger, no matter how badly you have been hurt, there is one powerful and effective exercise that I can recommend.

It's to sit or lie in a quiet place and imagine your tormentors as they were when they were babies or young children. Visualize these people one at a time, and really take time to feel the realities of their lives as toddlers.

Babies are not born with a distinct desire to hurt others physically or emotionally. They are born craving love and protection. Visualize what your tormentors were like when they did nothing but crave love and protection.

If you work at realizing how pure and innocent your tormentors once were, you may come to a point where it becomes clear that their hurtful acts as older children or adults likely stem from their own wounds.

If you know of another effective way of bringing yourself to forgive people who have hurt you badly, I would appreciate you sharing in the comments section below. Your thoughts on this topic may make a significant difference in another person's life.

Thank you.
