Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing, for the glory
Of the risen King
Jesus, Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
Of the risen king

Finally got my broken E string of my guitar replaced. Thanks to the wonderful Pastor Darick (: Went to thomson plaza to buy the strings from yamaha and saw this nice acoustic guit going at $218! That's pretty affordable! But decided to wait till the end of the year where there are sales. According to my bio teacher Mr. Chia, there are pretty good deals at excelsior (if I've spelt it right) and some other places. I shall go on a guitar shopping spree when the school holidays start and drag hannah along with me. Anyways, I reached church ten minutes late and was feeling really bad about it until I realised that marcus lim and kym was still in the leaders' meeting with pastor dom. Phew! Haha, played some of my songs for Sandra and we goofed around a bit.
When the meeting was over, we had a mad rush trying to slot in all the inserts into the bulletins and had to redo some because
someone gave us the wrong instructions. Apparently there was supposed to be two of this yellow card in each bulletin instead of one. But in the end, we made it in time for the start of service when the door opened. Worship was awesome. Could feel God's presence so strongly.
We sang How Great is Our God, the song we sang at this year's FOP. It's a beautiful song which really expresses in essence how great God is (: Sang with all my heart and reached out to God like never before. Bro. Victor led worship and he asked us to just engage in the spirit and sing a new song unto God while the worship team played a simple chord progression. That was a powerful time. I blocked out everything else except God and sang what I felt.
As I lifted my burdens to Him, I could feel His love wash over me and the tears just streaming down my cheeks. I felt such His reassuring touch and liberation that everything just fell away. All that hurt and anger, bitterness was swept away by His love. It was the sweet presence of God I breathed in. Just such a beautiful atmosphere in the chapel then and I wished I could just linger a while more. Thank God for His faithfulness and His never-failing love which always heals and restores. Bro. Victor's message was really meaningful and overall, service was great.
Combined cell was uber fun! For the whole time, we did activity after activity as Bro. Chung Yiong led us to illustrate certain points. The most memorable one was the one which the boys and girls played separately. We had to lie on each other's stomachs to form a chain and all of us were so ticklish that we couldn't stop giggling. So Amanda's head was bouncing up and down on my tummy every time I laughed.
The first person had to start saying "Ha!" and then it passes down all the way to the end of the chain. Then we went on to two "ha"s and so on. We took such a long time to get settled in place and finish the exercise that we got only until 3 "ha"s. Some of us couldn't stop laughing so one "ha!" came out as "hahahahahaha". (: It was hilarious I tell you. In contrast, apparently the guys weren't as ticklish so they got till 18 "ha"s.
Wish there'll be combined cell more often even after we resume normal open cell. It's a good time to interact with other people from our section and have fun together. I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't in cell 5, in this awesome section and in Passion! Ministry. I reckon I'd be a wholly different person. Every single one of them placed in my life by God has tremendously blessed me beyond measure and made a significant difference. I love you guys (:
PS:
Here's a really moving video you might want to view. If a guy did that for me, I'd marry him.
