You Are My Lord by Hillsong Australia

One of my favorite song by Hillsong Australia...one that would go well with my previous post "How Strong is My Heart". The lyrics sum it up...

Verse:

When I am WEAK You lift me up

I find my STRENGTH in You

When I am lost, I'm found by You

You'll never let me go

Chorus:

You are my Lord

And I worship You

Bow down before Your throne

Your are my peace

My STRENGTH and my comfort

I'm so in love with You!

=) My prayer is that I will fall deeply in love with Him again!!

How Strong Is My Heart?

Went to watched Terminator: Salvation yesterday. And couple of hours before I hit the cineplex, someone commented that it is rather surprising to know that I'm going for Terminator and that it is not my type of show. Hmm.....to a certain extend, yes, I agree. I prefer movies that will move my heart, be it cry or laugh! And so...Terminator...oh well, it was all about machines, machines and machines everywhere. It wasn't exactly that nice watching machines but I must confess I really like the 'motorbikes' (can't remember exactly what it is called in the show). Ohh....and I think Christian Bale is better off as John Connor than Batman ;)

There were many lessons and principles that one can draw from the show, besides the fact that John Connor saved the world from the machines. But there was a statement made by John Connor towards the end of the show which tug at the string of my heart...."the strength of human is in the heart." Hmm.....I think the statement is rather true. If one's heart is strong, then he/she can do lots of stuff that will impact society in a positive way. But if one's heart is weak, then he/she will not be motivated to do anything. And more often than not, our hearts are not strong enough to carry us through the not-so-nice circumstances in life. The bad decisions that we made because we followed our hearts, emotional hang-ups that caused us to feel like failures.... Recently, a friend shared a little about the emotional struggle that he is going through. Something that we as human can never run away from because we are made to relate with one another. And a lot of times, our emotions are the things that will zap up all our energy. Definitely not a very nice thing to go through.

I wonder...

How strong is my heart today?

What is my heart telling me to do?

Is my heart telling me to do the right thing, the God-thing?

Is my heart beating together with God's?

Psalm 73:26 "my flesh and my HEART may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forevermore"


I don't think we can ever rely on our own strength to go through the journey of life athough some might differ in their opinion. The strength of human is in the heart (which will fail), but the strength of human's heart is in the Lord!
