another one of my songs... currently working on a tune

Distracted and lonely
Fear ripping its sharp teeth through the core of me
Cornered into nothingness
To the big black hole of emptiness
And it's there in that painful silence that i find you
My Rescuer

But when you save me, I don't see you .
I see your blood
as it slowly drips from your brow
That disgusting price that was paid for me
never would i believe
such love that saved me

it's your blood,
by your blood,
by your love,
i am free.

My Song.

When I sing, I sing your name
Freedom floods my veins
and I will never be the same

you are worthy of all worship
all praise

oh Lord, be so real to me.
Be so real. Be so close
I need you so much.
Be so real. Be so close.

You are faithful, you are glorious
Majestic. Amazing. Incredible!
Far out! You make me sing!!

Freedom floods through my veins.
And I will never be the same

WOAH!!! SUCH LOVE!!
How can I be but overwhelmed by all that you are!

Jesus Culture Song...

i don't wanna talk about you like you're not in the room
wanna look right at you
i wanna sing right to you


i won't relent until you have it all
my heart is yours.

a lesson i learnt at church recently.

Hi All!

won't claim this as my own message... just some words of wisdom i learnt recently at my church. 

We had Rev. Tim Brown at Salvos 3064 last weekend.

It was a fantastic Sunday! Everyone was just SO pumped for Jesus! It was so great to see! and every week i just see it keeps getting better! 

Rev. Tim spoke about "THE LOST".

The one thing that really stood out from this message (or to me atleast) was that Jesus didn't want Christians to speak of "The Lost"  in a negative way... but to VALUE them.... to LOVE them!

Luke 15: 1-7 ~  Jesus speaks of a Shepherd who loses a sheep - out of a flock of one hundred - the shepherd will leave the 99 to go and find the one that has gone missing....

VALUED

Luke 15: 8-10 ~ Jesus speaks of a woman who loses a coin.... coins were highly valuable back in those days.... the woman never rested until she found her coin....and when she found it she threw a party!

VALUED

Luke 15: 11-31 ~ Jesus speaks of the "prodigal son" who leaves his family with his own cut of his father's inheritance money; to run after a life of gambling, drugs, and promiscuity...

and when runs out of cash and integrity, he returns home.... to his Father who instead of unforgiveness - is full of love and forgiveness and wants to hold this massive party for his son who has returned home.

VALUED

Rev. Tim told a (fictional) story of a camping trip with his family... getting us to imagine what it'd be like lose one of his daughters, but not caring because he still had one at the campsite.... 

no! he would do whatever he could to find that lost daughter!!

VALUED!

The "lost" are those who are away from God.

If you are away from God, whether that's because you once were with him, or you have never even known what it is like to be with God; - please know this one thing -

He loves you SO MUCH!! He just wants you home with him!



peace be with you xo
