There is a higher throne

Than all this world has known,
Where faithful ones from ev'ry tongue
Will one day come.
Before the Son we'll stand,
Made faultless through the Lamb;
Believing hearts find promised grace—
Salvation comes.

Hear heaven's voices sing;
Their thund'rous anthem rings
Through em'rald courts and sapphire skies.
Their praises rise.
All glory, wisdom, pow'r,
Strength, thanks, and honor are
To God our King, who reigns on high
Forevermore.

And there we'll find our home,
Our life before the throne;
We'll honor Him in perfect song
Where we belong.
He'll wipe each tear-stained eye
As thirst and hunger die.
The Lamb becomes our Shepherd King;
We'll reign with Him.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Somehow, I had thought shedding away all the things that I was clinging on to (but was clearly poisoning my life) would be painful, and drawn-out.

Surprisingly, everything turned out quite well. Even though I have far lesser "friends" now, I dare say I wholeheartedly trust the people I still mingle with.

It still gets lonely sometimes...... :(

Sometimes I wonder why people talk to me. I'm not good-looking, self-absorbed, cannot take jokes, easily provoked... sometimes I don't even feel like talking. Spare these good people from wasting their time on me...

Maybe someday I'll find a rainbow. Maybe.

Acoustic Gig at West Coast Green

Here's me singing Yesterday at West Coast Green with my friend, Sean.. we were darn nervous before going up man, hahaz... I guess my guitar was turned on too loud too.

Oh, yea, I sang the first verse too, cuz Sean didn't want to start the song. From 2nd verse onwards, I was the 2nd vocalist.. i'm the one with the guitar on the left, by the way, hahaa ^^

Hope u guys enjoy it! :D

Hey, guys... i'm going to be performing in a gig at West Coast Green RC on the 27th of June, around afternoon... it's some acoustic concert, i'll just be playing 3 songs, so i'll definitely make some time for anyone who wants me to show how i play some of my songs, yea? :P So do come to support me, okie? I'm NERVOUS!! hahaaaa

Do let me know if you're coming by commenting in this post or in the shoutbox, okie? 

Thank you! ^^

Feeling shaken...

Words. They are whispered in the background, they spread faster than wildfire, they distort and mislead. In the hands of a skilled orator, they can build worlds, move mountains, destroy lives.

Skilled orator... or close friends.

Proverbs 16:28
A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.

Matthew 5:18-19
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.' For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

yet...

James 3:7-8
All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

Lord, give me the wisdom, strength and humility to understand, forgive, and change for the better, for man's inclination towards evil cannot be solved by man. 

Also open my eyes, Lord, to the true meaning of friendship.  The limitations of what a friend can do for you, and yet the world of fulfillment they bring.

Change My Heart, O God

Change my heart oh God 
Make it ever true 
Change my heart oh God 
May I be like You 

Change my heart oh God 
Make it ever true 
Change my heart oh God 
May I be like You 

You are the potter 
I am the clay 
Mold me and make me 
This is what I pray 

Change my heart oh God 
Make it ever true 
Change my heart oh God 
May I be like You

This week's been really... tiring for me. Exam period, as I am typing now, my econ prelim's tomorrow... 

Thus, when i'm stressed... i play the guitar.

This is me with my latest guitar, an SX Custom Handmade Semi-Acoustic with cutaway. Plays like a dream, low, LOW action... hahaz, intending to sell it.

Anyway, this song, I dedicate to SIM Students' Christian Fellowship (CF), for all the support, all the love and friendships, all the fun we have together ^^ God bless for the UOL peeps taking their prelims, the RMIT peeps and their never-ending projects, and UB peeps for whatever you have ^^ take care guys!

Jason Mraz - A Beautiful Mess

You’ve got the best of both worlds
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you’re needy,
Humble but you’re greedy
Based on your body language,
your shouted cursive I’ve been reading
You’re style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
‘Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
‘Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they’re quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There’s no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging

And it’s a beautiful mess, yes it is
It’s like, we are picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I’ve heard
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are

Here we are x7

We're still here

And what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

And through timeless words in priceless pictures
We’ll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that’s no concern when we’re wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it’s nice today, oh the wait was so worth it

「Sky chord ~大人になる君へ~」- 辻詩音

素直な歌が歌えない
飾り付けてしまうから
いつからこんなに楽に自分
守ることを覚えたの？

行かない sky chord
昔ならあったのに yeah yeah
失くした sky chord
誰のせいでもなく 自分

きっと大人になることなんかより
大切なものがあるの
きっとそれを見つけらんないまま
大人になってゆくんだ
ずっとこのままじゃいれないって
分かってるよ
歩き出せ

Translation:

I can't sing a song with a honest lyrics
because I always end up sugar coating the words
When someone as laid-back as me
realize he had something worth protecting?

Don't leave me, Sky Chord,
You would've stayed here back then, yeah yeah...
I've lost you, Sky Chord,
It's not anyone's fault, but...

I know there are things more important to me
than becoming an adult.
But I'll be growing up the whole time
I'm trying to figure out what they are.

You say we can't stay like this forever?
I know.. so let's take that first step.

Jason Mraz - Lucky

It's been a really, REALLY long week.... life just seems so boring after a good party..

I was so bored I came up with this..

C
Do you hear me,
Am
I'm talking to you
Dm G E7
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Am Dm G
Under the open sky oh my, baby I'm trying
C Am
Boy I hear you in my dreams
Dm G
I feel your whisper across the sea
E7 Am
I keep you with me in my heart
Dm G
You make it easier when life gets hard


Am Dm G
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
C G Am
Lucky to have been where I have been
Dm G
Lucky to be coming home again
C Am Em G
Oooohhhhoohhhhohhooohhooohhooohoooh


Dm Am
They don't know how long it takes
G Dm
Waiting for a love like this
Dm Am
Every time we say goodbye
G Dm
I wish we had one more kiss
Dm Am G
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will


Am Dm G
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
C G Am
Lucky to have been where I have been
Dm G
Lucky to be coming home again
Am Dm G
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
C G Am
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Dm G
Lucky to be coming home someday


And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music, feel the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees 
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now


I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday


Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
