Darlene Zschech- High And Lifted Up

Lord of all the earth
And all of heaven
I come and seek Your face
Worship You with all I have within me
Humbled by Your grace

PRE CHORUS 1:
Every heart every nation
Every tribe all creation
Will bow before Your presence and sing

CHORUS:
You are high and lifted up
You are high and lifted up
And my soul sings hallelujah
To the Lamb
The Lamb of God

VERSE 2:
Lord of righteousness
You come in glory
Bright and morning star
All my days I'll worship and adore You
Healer of my heart

PRE CHORUS 2:
Every prayer every cry
You alone satisfy
We will lift Your praise
Again and again

BRIDGE:
Majesty
Majesty
Jesus Lamb of God
Majesty
Majesty
Holy are You Lord

Stacie Orrico- Strong Enough



Verse:
As I rest against this cold hard wall, will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won
Only to find the war had just begun

Chorus:
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out and start again?
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance with me Please can I have one chance to start again

Verse:
Will my weakness fall and make me suffer for a lifetime.
Is there any way to be made whole again
If I be renewed and find forgiveness by the strength I've never had
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plans?


Bridge:
He took my life into His hands
And turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance,
is where I'm finally found

Ending:
That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me,
Oh thank You for my chance to start again

Love, where is your fire?

hey peeps!..
my excitement level is slightly high today..
i have no idea whatever the reason may be..but im sick of staying in the room with my books, so therefore, here i am to pen down some crap whilst indulging myself with some chocolate icecream!! okay..rubbish.
exams are finaly here..and so its study study study...and study...everything is happening so fast..we're in the month of may now and trust me people just in a blink of an eye,its gonna be christmas! yay! cant wait to hear the christmas carols..
so today... im a little impressed to share bout SaltnLight.
i guess its relevant to give you a glimpse of what's happening in my youth group.. thank God for his faithfulness towards us and He's been really gracious throughout the years. we've had great expectations on snl, hoping
that God wud do something mighty within us and even to the community youth..i guess God has planned the way for us..and i believe snl has gone to a complete higher level simply because He never despise us. we've come a long way and through all the ups and downs, all the mishaps and mistakes made, God has put us together as a team for a divine purpose and that is simply to reach out to the lost for his glory. i guess we all have circumstances to face but its really how and who we choose to cling on. So people, its time to get our butts up and start movin'!
He has been our refuge and we are determined to live for Him all the days of our lives,and even as we part ways , He'll still have His way in us. Just like brooke fraser's song which speaks about being in the blaze with Him..and that is our desire to never grow lukewarm towards Him, and we want the world to know thats what we are made of.
God is working in our midst through our praiseandworship and there are many things He wants to reveal to us.. I believe as you are reading, may you be inspired to do great things for God. Dont be intimidated.
God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things for Him.And if we as youth of this nation are willing to go further to accomplish the mission put before us, this world wud be a better place.
Salt n Light is my heritage and what i am made of today will be what others see in me. And I want them to see the light that shines beyond every darkness, the power of unspoken words that can only be revealed through what comes inside out.
To all those who are reading, may God's love impact you and may you be enriched and filled by the awesomeness of his presence. Together, may we share this selfless and sacrificial love through which we were once found and saved.
Come along with me and the many others on this journey. Who knows? We might just change the world.

roller coaster ride.

its friday!
i got up at 7.25am....omg! i'm late....so so late...
it was awkward to have the kids and youth waiting full with anticipation...
vibe and excitement on their faces held me back...i was the only one they were waiting for..i giggled away as i joined them in one of the rolls... great guilt hidden under my skin..
though my face didn't literally speak...i knew someone else was very sure what went wrong..positive!
Anyways,I had to sing one whole verse on my own til I waited for the rest to back me up..
lalala...evrything went well til the presentation began..
believe it or not..
i burst out crying! awh...felt a gr8 release and at the same time was awfully humiliated..
nevermind i thought...it was appreciation after all...
then we had drama....it was so funny..hahaha..i have to say dodie was the cutest thing on stage..we had so many parts to play...so many words to say...so many lines and props and all that came together with it..whoa! oh...and we had one whole cake where we all dipped and indulged in..and to add up all.................the ais kacang....................for that moment while we were drenched in our sweat and everyone smelled like salted fish! haha! so appropriate!.....
anyways, who cares?
we did it!! though it was tiring when we were done..but i guess it was worthwhile....
after all being superstar a.k.a umbrella helped exercise all our mouth muscles and all the worn out flabby and flapping in the wind spare tires...hahaha...
then came to SnL... we had an awesome time in worship...we always do..but today it was slightly different....i guess cause we had a girl who said the sinner's prayer with us...and she was saved! it was all worth it...
till then, we were at the peak.....exhausted!
we lazed around in church while waiting for the clock to strike 5...the only reason why we were still lingering around...then i hopped on the piano...had dodie and joanna halp me with the still song... and i played the intro! wooohooo! i know it ain't any great achievement...haha...but joy was written on my forehead.....it only mattered to me after all.......so...don't bother..
it was fun being in church....and it always is..thats the only thing i enjoy most doing...
the sense of fulfillment one's mind can't comprehend...
I had Him in me and that's all that matters,right?


till then,
xoxo.rachel.


p/s will be back soon with some pics!
