Strong Tower

You are my strong tower
A shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I see

You are My God

Yesterday, I was reminded of Sarai in the Bible again. Was reminded of how she was given the promise, yet she took matters into her own hand. Out of her impulsiveness and impatience, she messed up God's plan. Was reminded not to be like Sarai, and try to help God or go ahead of God. Promise has been given. God will bring everything to completion. WAIT, I must!

Later in the evening, I read a blogpost from 'The Preacher's Wife' (Blog of Holl Furtick, wife to Pr. Steven Furtick, Elevation Church) How lovely and timely! It's the story of Sarai and Hagar in Genesis 16. Read He Sees You.

Honestly the waiting has been a toil. But I have received assignment for a faith journey, the promise that God will bring everything to completion...I have to endure through this season! I don't want to be messing up God's plan! I don't want to be playing Sarai and Hagar. I want to trust God.

The assurance is knowing that my God sees my every need, every dream, every struggle....and the list is endless. The exciting thing about reading the post, chewing on the verse is that God birthed a new song (yes, it's one of my dreams to write songs) *smile*

You Are My God

Verse 1:

You are the God who sees

You are the God who hears

You are the God who holds me close

And take away my fears

Verse 2:

You are the God who cares

You are the God who loves

You gave Your Son to die for me

And set me high above

Chorus:

I will lift my hands to praise You

I will worship and adore You

All that I am and I will be

I give it all to You

You are my God

You are my God

Genesis 16:13 She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”

Any Road Any Cost

Any Road, Any Cost (Point of Grace)

Verse 1:
Leaving the safe and familiar

With their hearts set on a heavenly prize

There were some who laid down their nets

And some who laid down their lives

Not sure where they were going

But they did not have to know

'Cause they knew who had called them

And they said, "we will go"

Chorus:

Down any road at any cost

Wherever You lead we will follow

Because we know that You've called us

To take up our cross

Down any road at any cost

Verse 2:

It may be fear that we're feeling

We see what we must sacrifice

But You promised You'll go with us

So we'll trust with our lives

Bridge:

It's Your love that compels us

To do what You've called us to do

And be completely abandoned to You

Today is the Day

Is good

Chorus:

I will rejoice and be glad in it
Today is the day you have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it

And I won't worry about tomorrow
I'm trusting in what you say
Today is the day

Verse 2:

I putting my fears aside
I'm leaving my doubts behind

Jesus

I'm reaching my hands to yours

I will rejoice and be glad in it

And I won't worry about tomorrow

Today is the day

Bridge:

I will stand upon your truth
I will stand upon your truth
And all my days I'll live for you
All my days I'll live for you

And I will stand upon your truth
I will stand upon your truth
And all my days I'll live for you
All my days I'll live for you

Chorus:
Today is the day you have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
Today is the day you have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it

Last Chorus:
And I won't worry about tomorrow
I'm giving you my fears and sorrows
Where you lead me I will follow
I'm trusting in what you say
Today is the day

My Prayer:

Lord, I echo the words of this song as my prayer.

Thank You for this day, the day that You have made.

I believe that You are taking care of every single detail of my day.

I surrender everything to You!

In Jesus' name. Amen.

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!!

You Will Never Walk Alone

Disclaimer: This has got nothing to do with Liverpool! =)

Was reminded of the Chinese show 'Protege' which ended with a question that some of us asked ourselves. Which is worst? Drugs or loneliness? I leave it to you to decide.... but one thing I know and which I want to embrace with my heart, THAT His promise is true! I will never walk alone...never! O Lord...knock some sense into me!!!!!!

Here is a song by Point of Grace...one of my favorite song... YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE

Along life’s road there will be sunshine and rain

Roses and thorns, laughter and pain.

And ‘cross the miles you will face mountains so steep

Deserts so long and valleys so deep,

Sometimes the journey’s gentle

sometimes the cold winds blow (Re - mem - ber)

But I want you to remember, I want you to know

* You will never walk alone, as long as you have faith,

Jesus will be right beside you all the way.

And you may feel you’re far from home,

But home is where He is,

And He’ll be there down every road;

You will never walk alone.

The path will wind, you will find wonders and fears,

Labors of love and a few falling tears.

Across the years there will be some twists and turns,

Mistakes to make and lessons to learn.

Sometimes the journey’s gentle, sometimes the cold winds blow,

But I want you to remember wherever you may go

** Jesus knows your joy, Jesus knows your need;

He will go the distance with you faithfully.
You will never walk alone
He will be right beside you all the way
If you feel you're far from home
He'll be there down every road

You will never walk alone

Thank You JESUS! =)
