Your Love In My Life

Your Love is all I ever needed
Gave up Your life just for me
And I found life once again
Because You're the life

All I need is You
You in my life
All I need is You
Your love in my life

Use Me

Better is one day
In Your courts
Better than anything
I could have
Teach these hands
To serve Your heart
All that I am
belongs to You, Lord

Use me
As I lift my voice to You
Use me,
To glorify Your name
Won’t You Use me
To shine my light for you
Father use me,
To be the light of this world
Oh Jesus,
There’s no one like You

In John 4:23-24, Jesus says 'Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship him in spirit and in truth.'

I want to have the right heart to worship. This song is my prayer to the Lord. This song contains some messianic chord progressions that gives it a rather dreamy feel. The feeling that God is just so close yet far at the same time.

I thank the Lord for always being there for me. This is my song to Him and I will continue to 'Sing a new song to Him, play skillfully and shout for joy' for He is the only God I worship. Use me to shine my light for You, for great is the Lamb of God. Thank you Lord, for all you've done for me. For there is no one like You. May I continue to find joy in worshiping You in spirit and in truth.

The Lord Of My Life

V1
Covered by grace
You’re the light of my world
Open my eyes to see the things unseen, Lord
Touched by Your grace
I will lay down my life
For all You have done just to save my soul, Lord

Pre-Chorus
Let Your will be done
All over the earth
As I serve Your Heart
To see Your kingdom come

Chorus
Jesus, You’re the Lord of my life
All I have, I give it to You
Jesus, You’re the Lord of my life
I honour You, it’s You I adore

V2
Silent You were
As You took up the cross
You gave up Your life so that I could be free
Walk with You Lord
To the ends of the earth
For You are the way, the truth and the life

Bridge
You reigned all the earth
You reigned all the heavens
You reigned the universe
All creation bows
To the Risen King

Chorus
Jesus, You’re the Lord of my life
All I have, I give it to You
Jesus, You’re the Lord of my life
I honour You, it’s You I adore
Jesus, You're the Lord of my life
I stand in awe of my Saviour King!

(Music & Lyrics By Aaron Wu-22 Sept 2007)
----------------------------------------------------
Jesus, You are the Lord of my life. You gave up Your life for me though I was undeserving, it's no longer I, but Christ in me.

I could not have wrote this song without God. There were plenty of verses which I could have thrown in but I did not want to offer a song which was meaningless or just another 'ordinary' song to God. I want to offer God my best. This song expresses how I feel for the Lord of my life, indeed, I will walk with Him to the ends of the earth. It is by faith that I believe in the one called Saviour. Lord, take all of me, everything that I have is all yours, I want to give You my very best. It takes a lot of faith and courage to mean what i have say and say what i mean. You gave Your one and only Son though we were undeserving. By your grace and mercy, we are redeemed. God, You are the King of all...

Yeah, the feeling of spending time just with my heavenly Father was absolutely great and refreshing. I shall proceed on with my reading on 1 Peter tonight and get ready for HT duty.

So what is the desire of our Father in heaven?
To spend time with us and communicate with us. When there is communication with God, we are able to hear God. Hence there are 3 things we can do.
1)Hearing God for yourself
-He tutors you to live skillfully
2)Hearing God for each other
-He uses us to build up one another
3)Hearing God for the lost
-He uses us to find the lost so that we can welcome them home.

In Your courts

V1
In the courts of my Great King
It's where I want to be
It's where my home would be
In the courts of my Shepherd
It's where I will find my peace
It's where my soul's secured

Pre-chorus
All the earth will shout with joy, oh Lord
Praising Your holy Name
For Your Kingdom we will shine our light
In Your courts we will..

Chorus
Dance with freedom
For You have brought us joy
Stand in Your presence, oh Lord
We sing new songs to You
All my days
You find me in Your courts
It's where I will be
Where I will be

V2
In the courts of my Great King
It's where I will always be
It's where my heart would be
In the courts of my Shepherd
It's where I will find my joy
It's where my soul would be

Bridge
Jesus, Oh, You are so worthy
Jesus, Oh, You are my Saviour
------------------------------------
In the courts of my Great King, it's where I want to be. In His courts is where I find my peace. Blessed are those who dwells in the Lord's house. It is such a joy that we can worship God with our music and songs. For He is the Lord of music and songs...He is the Lord of all!

This song is rather fast pace and the lyrics are sort of like a declaration saying what His courts means to me and what I would do in His courts. It doesn't really matter whether it's a fast or slow song as long as it is a form of worship onto God. Thank the Lord for this song, You provided everything I ever written.

I realised that my melody and song were largely influenced based on the song 'Home' written by Marty Sampson. He writes really good songs, hopefully some day I would get to meet him and learn more about song writing as well as worship leading from him.

Putting that aside, I hope that as I grow deeper in God, He will give me my own style of writing songs. Hopefully the songs I have written will indeed be a blessing to others. All the glory to God for He is my main source of inspiration.

My freedom in You

V1
Oh Jesus, I will give my praise to You
For great is Your love
Higher than the heavens
Oh Jesus, my heart is ever steadfast for You
For You are my desire
Your love endures forever

Pre-chorus
And there is none like You
Your praises fill the earth
And Holy are You Lord
Your praises fill the heavens
To You I will sing

Chorus
My Saviour,
In You I find my freedom,
My Redeemer,
You were there for me through it all
For I called and You answered me
Oh Lord, I thank You for the cross

V2
Oh Jesus, I will lift my hands to You
For You are worthy Lord
Always and forever
Oh Jesus, I give my life, my all to You
For You rescued me
By Your grace and mercy

Bridge
You gave me wings, so that I could soar
In Your freedom, I will live to worship You
You brought me this freedom,
Though I was undeserving
And I would honour You
For all you have done
---------------------------------------------------------
In Your freedom we will live, I will always remember what you have done for me. Thank You Lord for this song, as well as this freedom we have in You.

Recently my leader posted a question to us, 'who is Jesus to me?'
I gave it a deep thought and I knew the answer. God is the Lord of all, He is the Lord of everything in my life. But do I really mean what I say?

The supremacy of Christ is shown in Col 1:15-18
15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
(Credits to Biblegateway)

Peter's response to who Christ was to him is shown in Matthew 16:15-16
"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

If we know who Christ is in our lives, then the next question we should ask is:
How are we presenting Christ in our lives? Is it by intentional acts?
Jesus said in Matt 5:13-16 that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. He adds on by saying "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." So are we shining our light intentionally in this dark world? We can do many things and have the assumption that we are shining our light brightly before the people around us. But in reality, they are still facing their backs to our light, not knowing the deeds we have done.

I thank God that He is a God who always teaches us a lesson. This time, He shows me that we have to be intentional in our actions so that the people around us may catch this glimpse of light and they may turn their way back to this path of light.
Indeed, the main idea for this blog was that I hope it would be a light that shines for God, giving glory to the Most High with songs and devotions.

Today God says to you,"Who do You say I am?"

------------------------------------------------------------
Our God is truly faithful to us all the time and His love never fails. How many times have we taken His love for granted?
There may be times when we feel that God isn't there for us or we have the impression that He does not love us anymore.
However, that is not true for God has always been there for us. The problem lies with the fact that we did not seek Him with the right heart.
It is written in proverbs 8:17
"I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me."

as well as in Jeremiah 29:13
"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

Let our hearts be set right before God so that when we truly seek Him with the right heart, we will surely find Him. For God has always love us and will never foresake us.

God gave me the inspiration to write this song, uniquely through my friend's song. As I was reading the lyrics of her song, I was touched by the Holy Spirit. I know truly that God, You will never fail me. I just thank God for always reminding me that the reason we are able to write all the songs we ever written is because of Him.

Unfailing Love

V1
Some wandered in desert wastelands
Hungry and thirsty they may seem
But as they cry out to You
You delivered them from their distress
Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom
For they have rebelled against Your word
But as they cry out for Your forgiveness
You saved them from their distress

Chorus
As we can see, Your wonderful deeds
Is echoing inside our lives
In a single voice we give Him thanks
For He is good and His Love endures forever
Oh Lord, You are so good to me
Whenever I cry out to You
I know that You will be there for me
Oh Lord, Your love never fails me
Whenever I'm in distress
I know that You will support me
Oh Lord, Your love never fails me

V2
Some became fools through their rebellious ways
Suffered from their iniquities
But as they cry out to You in their trouble
You saved them from their distress
Some were merchants on the mighty sea
In peril their courage melted away
But as they cry out to You to save them
You brought them out from their distress

Bridge
Oh God, my heart is ever steadfast for You
I will sing and make music
with all my soul, with all of my heart
And I thank You for Your unfailing love
----------------------------------------
A song that the Lord showed me throught Psalms 107

"Whoever is wise, let him heed these things
and consider the great love of the Lord"Psalms 107:43

It also reminded me that about the Lord's unfailing love.

Our Awesome God

V1
As of this day, God I know
That whatever You do
You do it because You love me
And Lord, I offer You devotion
Because You are Worthy
Because You are wonderful
You are wonderful to me

V2
In my darkest nights
You watch over me
You hold me in Your arms
Because You love me
In the deepest shadows,
You protect me with Your hands
And so I look to You..

Chorus
Let now every tongue and tribe confess
That God, You are our Saviour King
Let now the weak say I have strength
Because You are strong in our weaknesses
Oh You are so awesome, Lord

Let us dance in Your presence
With our souls set free
Let us shout Your name
With a voice of truimph
And for all You've done I say
Thank you Lord
For You are so awesome, Lord
Oh, You are an awesome God..

Bridge
Oh God,You made the heavens and the earth
Oh Lord, You reign to the ends of the earth
And I will follow You always
Forever and ever till the ends of time
------------------------------------------------------------
This song might not be perfect or properly tune yet, but the original lyrics
of this song was placed in my heart because of all the things the Lord
has done for me. And I offer this song as a devotion and worship
to the Saviour King because He is worthy of it.

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
Neither do the people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see
your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." Matt 5:14-16

God let me be the light in this world and let my light shine before men
so that they know that there is a God who cares and loves them.
