1) Think of your favourite worship song and jot down a verse or chorus that you find most meaningful (ok, so i dont have the book right beside me now but i'm rephrasing it and typing from whatever goldfish memory i have =3) :
All said and done I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me
Did you really have to die for me?
All I am for all you are
Because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - I am on my knees
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - broken on my knees
.

2) Illustrate what you think God is trying to convey to you through this song. And how can you love others because of this love?
((er, i'll get it scanned.... or probably show it to you guys on the 21st Jan, Fri.))
In a more literal form, I chose this songs coz out of my massive database of 15 songs, this one really called out to me. It could have been the music. It could have been how he sung it. It could be how it's composed. But it called out to me nonetheless. A tear trickled down my cheek when i heard it. YES! THAT DRAMA. Anyways, this was what I felt the song was telling me and how I interpreted it:
The only one that's stopping me from believeing is no one else but me alone. And like i have said before i had issues with believing and i found it so true. It sounds easy to have all my being and all my soul to believe but it isnt because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart. So in order to love him and love hom wholly, i have to take my world apart from me. Take the clouds / walls blocking me from loving and perhaps believing him.
Those were guitly tears.

1) Read up on Psalm 139:1-9. What does it say about God's love?
Now I'm not a reciter of any book and can only memorise ONE line from the bible and that is 1John4 "God is Love", and that's not even a full verse. heh. So when I saw this I made a guess as hand journeyed 2m away to the bible, O God you search me and you know meeeee...?
With the bible finally opened to the right page, my face lit up. Whoo! I feel so proud of my self =D This is one of my favourite hymns and have you heard it in SATB? Well, um, you should if you haven't. The effect is haunting. Nothing like knowing that
God knows your every move
to wake you up and feel a little creeped out... in a good way =)
I really love that hymn too.
ReplyDeleteI think the bible is really awesome and when I was young, my dad forced me to read it, but can you believe I still remember some of it today. But I guess memorizing the bible is not really important until you actually put what you've read into practice. Jeremy Riddle sings "Then read the Word and put to test the things you’ve heard Until your heart and soul are stirred and rocked and broken."
When it becomes a song, it gets even more awesome.
