O Holy Night - MercyMe

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!

When this song was randomly played on my iTunes, my memories went back to the Christmas session my cell celebrated together. Many things have happened ever since then. There are the things that should have happened and things that should not have happened.

I’m trying to think of how to put them into words… Have these different occurrences cause me to be disappointed? Yes, they have. Sometimes, when all these different battles come, there is a tendency to forget who God is.

But yet, God reminds me once again… “ ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega – the beginning and the end.’ says the Lord God. ‘I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come – the Almighty One.’ ” Rev 1:9

Many trials may come, dryness… not knowing what to do next for God… stuck in the same place and waiting… But these two songs taught me something new...

Heart of Worship – Hillsong United

when the music fades
all is stripped away
and i simply come
longing just to bring
something that's of worth
that will bless your heart

i'll bring you more than a song
for a song in itself
is not what you have required
you search much deeper within
through the way things appear
you're looking into my heart


I'm coming back to the heart of worship
and it's all about you
It's all about you, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the things i've made it
when it's all about you
it's all about you, Jesus

King of endless worth
no one could express
how much you deserve
though i'm weak and poor
all i have is yours
every single breath

This song reminds me of this verse
“…I am the one who searches out the thoughts and intentions of every person…” Rev 2: 23

Yes, not everything that I do may be excellent from a human’s perspective. But as long as I put in my best for God, that is all that He needs.

I Offer My Life – Don Moen

All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, alll of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you

Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

What can we give
That you have not given?
And what do we have
That is not already yours?
All we possess
Are these lives we're living
That's what we give to you, Lord
