Love Crucified Arose

Long ago He blessed the earth

Born older than the years

And in the stall, a cross He saw

Through the first of many tears

A life of homeless wandering

Cast out in sorrow's way

The Shepherd seeking for the lost

His life the price He'd pay

Love crucified arose

The Risen One in splendour

Jehovah's soul-defender

Has won the victory!

Love crucified arose

And the grave became a place of hope

For the heart that sin and sorrow broke

Is beating once again!

Throughout Your life You felt the weight

Of what You come to give

To drink for us that crimson cup

So we might really life

At last the time to love and die

The dark appointed day

That one forsaken moment when

Your Father turned His face away

Love crucified arose

The One who lived and died for me

Was Satan's nail-pierced casualty

Now He's breathing once again!

Love crucified arose

And the grave became a place of hope

For the heart that sin and sorrow broke

Is beating once again!

He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.

Find Us Faithful

We're pilgrims on the journey of the narrow road

And those who've gone before us line the way

Cheering on the faithful

Encouraging the weary

Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace.

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses

Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who've gone before us

Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through Godly lives

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

May the fire of our devotion light their way

May the footprints that we leave

Lead them to believe

And the lives we live inspire them to obey

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift through all we've left behind
May the clues that they discover
And the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find

Think Before You Act

How many of us actually think before we act?

Actions can be voluntary or involuntary. But a lot of times our actions are prompted by emotion. When we give way to emotion, we might just do something which we will regret later on in our life.

For every action, there is a reaction in the opposite direction. Rephrasing it, for everything that we do, there is a consequent to which we shall be responsible for.

So, have you thought a little while over what you are going to do today? Think before you act, so that your action does not hurt your loved ones.

Have a blessed day. :)

Monday blues...

Mondays.. 

To many a people would be a new beginning of the week, a day which brings forth hope and a renewed mind. A day which they can be reconciled with friends, colleagues, etc. A day to seek new strength, to start anew, to march into the world with a cheerful heart.

To some would be a dreadful day. A day which brings forth new sufferings, a day which marks the beginning of a long struggle, a day to receive tonnes of work and assignments, a day to labor endlessly.

The question is: ARE MONDAYS REALLY THAT BLUE?

One thing that I really thank God for is the place I'm working at. See? 

Morning view of Wesley Methodist School Ipoh

Its morning scenery brings a lot of peace and stillness within. It's a good place to seek God, to calm my heart, listening to birds chirping, and the distant mooing of cows - its simply perfect to remind me how wonderfully God created the earth.

Mondays are not so bad after all - provided if you start off with the correct pace.

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases

His mercies never come to an end

They are new every morning

New every morning

Great is Your faithfulness, O Lord

Great is Your faithfulness."

Have a blessed Holy Week. :)
