Abandon

This track I trudge along
The path seems not to change
Twenty years and a day forward
Am I still the same?

I thirst for a difference
I can't stand to stay
A minute more's too long
Take me, take me away

I'm abandoning all, reaching for You
Leaving behind what I once thought was true
This shell that I'm in, once bound down
Has been shattered and nailed
And I am new

I thought my past
Was all that I had
I held on for so long
How could I've not known
That my future was waiting
Have I been so blind?

I thirst for a difference
I can't stand to stay
A minute more's too long
Take me, take me away

I'm abandoning all, reaching for You
Leaving behind what I once thought was true
This shell that I'm in, once bound down
Has been shattered and nailed
And I am new

This life is no longer mine
This body no longer bound
I've chosen to leave it all
Abandoned to You

I'm abandoning all, reaching for You
Leaving behind what I once thought was true
This shell that I'm in, once bound down
Has been shattered and nailed
And I am new.

A layer of dust..

It seems like millennia have passed since I last posted here.. Anyway, my sincerest apologies go out to my dear companions out there whom I've not kept in touch with all this time, especially Cat, Pei Yin jie, Phoebes, Sharon, John Gan, Kev, KC, Fei, Jia and Ah Teng. Oh, and the rest of you as well. *Sheepish grin*

Anyway, in a nutshell (and as some of you already know), I've been really busy these past few months with stuff, mainly uni work. Also, I've been going through some shifts in church ministry here, so that took up part of my time as well (though I enjoy every moment of it). Oh, and not to mention my endeavours to survive living with "interesting" housemates... If any of you really wanna know what's been happening with me in detail, do drop me a text or gimme a call and I'd be glad to chat (If you haven't already guessed why I'm not elaborating further, try to remember that I DON'T condone blogging about everything that happens in my life; I'm doing this just to (hopefully) get things rolling again). For those who tried to reach me on MSN, most of you would have found that there was no reply (cos I wasn't there) or had someone else reply on my behalf - a case of bad timing, really... my bad..

I'm about to face my next wave of exams over the next couple of weeks, but I'll try to be regular again with my posts. Hope all of you who read this have been and still are doing well back home. Love y'all and miss ya heaps.

John, I'm Special Too!

Stand Up Again

There are times when I feel cold
Tired, weary, alone
Surrounded by the world
Yet I seem to see no one

And my heart is shattered once again
Dropping to my knees, I see no end

Who will come?
When my tears fall down
When the world has left me on my own
Hear my cry, feel my pain
Oh Lord, please help me stand
Stand up again

When I'm blinded by all the hurt
Stabbed, thrown to the ground
I raise my hand and scream out loud
But no one hears a sound

And my heart is shattered once again
Dropping to my knees, I see no end

Who will come?
When my tears fall down
When the world has left me on my own
Hear my cry, feel my pain
Oh Lord, please help me stand
Stand up again

I am wounded, torn, broken inside
I am bleeding, bruised and I'm losing the fight
I am dying now
So I need a place to hide...

And my heart is shattered once again
Dropping to my knees, I see no end

Who will come?
When my tears fall down
When the world has left me on my own
Hear my cry, feel my pain
Oh Lord, please help me stand...

You will come
Wipe off all my tears
Stay by me against my fears
Calm my storm, heal my pain
Lord You take my hand
My eternal friend
And You help me stand...
Stand up again.

Sudah Tua

Sudah tua, sudah tua
Umur dua puluh dua
Ada hari tak tahu bermula
Tak boleh makan banyak gula

Sudah tua, sudah tua
Bilik gelap macam gua
Selalu tidur pukul dua
Bangun sudah gelap juga

Sudah tua, sudah tua
Makin-makin botak kepala
Mata pun hampir buta
Banyak hal senang dilupa

Sudah tua, sudah tua
Isteri pun belum ada
Hari-hari jemu gila
Tengok TV apa pun takde

Sudah tua, sudah tua
Hari ini nak pergi mana
Baik duduk di rumah aje
Dompet syiling pun tak ada

Sudah tua, sudah tua...

Aw heck it, I was never good at BM anyway.. I'm OLD. Gotta live with that. Here's to mid-mid-life crisis sufferers, haha..

Healer

How truly amazing God is. Not only did He create the universe and everything that lives today, He pays attention to the most minute of details when it comes to us. He knows each and every one of us down to our very depths, even the sicknesses and pains that inflict us. On top of that, He wants to and will heal those that need that healing, should we ask Him and believe. I'm not just talking about the explicitly visible, but what stabs at our innermost selves. Not just cancers and life-threatening injuries, but even the deepest of sorrows and emotional scars. I'd just like to share this song that touched me the first time I heard it last year, and still continues to touch me today. The song was finally released today in recorded form, that's why I'd love for anyone with a few minutes to just listen to this if you need some form of healing.

The song is titled "Healer" by Planetshakers. I've added it to my imeem playlist on the right. I pray that you'll be as blessed by it as I was.

Never Stop

Forward ho, let us walk
Our treasures on our backs
While the light keeps guiding us
On this long and winding track

Forward ho, let us march
With our boots securely strapped
Though the road forks ever so often
Our path has already been mapped

Forward ho, let us sing
Of what we've seen, of what we'll see
Drawing more to join along
On this trip with you and me

Forward ho, let us rest
To tend to those who've become weary
To wet our tongues and fill our bellies
Then quickly get back to our journey

Forward ho, let us hurry
For the day is near its end
Cast off things that encumber us
Onward, quickly, let us wend

Forward ho, never stop
Lest weeds grow and entangle our feet
Take the hand of Him who guides us
On our path to Eternity.

Brand Power I

Ever wondered why we get so excited about certain brand names that are actually normal everyday words? Take for example, the brand PUMA...

it's just an ordinary animal.. maybe u can find this design on T-shirts everywhere.. like this one below..
..what if it wasn't a puma, but some other animal? would it be as popular as it is today? maybe something like..
Now that's something worth looking at twice! Edible, great source of protein and omega-3, and it swims! wonder if i can get my hands on one of these soon..

Just Tired.

Some call it lethargy

Some say it's caffeine overdose
Some think it's too much thinking
I think I'm just tired

Some say it's assignments

So, so tired
Lord hide me and let me rest in You
Forever if I can.

Hmm, I'm surprised I managed to get this URL since I'm not the only clayts in the world, coupled with the fact that blogspot's been around for about a century, haha.. guess the rest of my posts will be the same as my friendster blog ones, plus it's prolly easier to keep in touch with buddies like teng, eva and phoebes, etc.. let's start with my latest from friendster (pls refer to following post).

Cheers
