Always faithful

Are you passing through a testing.
Is your pillow wet with tears?
Do you wonder what the reason,
Why it seems God never hears?

Why it is you have no answer
To your oft, repeated plea,
Why the heaven still is leaden
As you wait on bended knee? 

Do you wonder as you suffer,
Whether God does understand,
And if so, why He ignores you,
Fails to hold you in His Hand? 

Do black doubts creep in, assail you,
Fears without--and fears within,
Till your brave heart almost falters
And gives way to deadly sin? 

All God's testings have a purpose,
Someday you will see the light.
All He asks is that you trust Him,
Walk by faith and not by sight. 

Do not fear when doubts beset you,
Just remember - He is near; 
He will never, never leave you,
He will always, always hear. 

Faithful is He who has promised,
He will never let you fall,
Daily will the strength be given
Strength for each and strength for all. 

He will gladly share pain with you,
He will gladly give you peace.
Till your tired and weary body
Finds its blessed, glad release. 

When the darkened veil is lifted,
Then, dear heart, you'll understand
Why it is you had to suffer,
Why you could not feel His hand 

Giving strength when it was needed,
Giving power and peace within
Giving joy through tears and trial,
Giving victory over sin.
So till then just keep on trusting,
Through the sunshine and the rain.

listen, there's my heart beat

Was reading this on another blog and thought it was so wonderfully written. 

It was written by a close friend. 

I thought it was too good not to share with someone else. :)

some things become but a distant memory
growing old and fading away
its
like raindrops on a roof
like a box that's out of juice

sometimes this world wears me down
i feel like some sad, sad little clown
going through the motions
drowning, in this vast, grey ocean
so

should i moan, cry
curl up on a coach and die?
no

look, there's the world at my feet
listen, there's my heart beat
stand up, hold my head high
and let its music lift me to the sky
forget
the world, let it go its way
because it's time, i had my own say
i pave my own tracks
whether it be hard joyous or slack

what i need is a push, a pull
to let my soul shine through
reminding me
that while i live and breathe
there is still so much i can achieve 

Hope you all have a great weekend. It's ending soon :(

Psalms 136

For today's LG, we shared about Psalms 136. 

As a group activity, we wrote out our own version of Psalms 136 which is about being thankful to God for His many blessings. 

Here's what I came up with: 

(I copied the first verse for inspiration :))

Oh, give thanks unto Jehovah,
For He is good,
For He is loving kindness endureth forever. 

Oh, give thanks unto God,
For He hears my every cry,
And cares for my weary eyes. 

Oh, give thanks unto God,
For He is my strength when I am weak,
thought be it, I am His ever disobedient sheep.  

Oh, give thanks unto God,
For He always listens, always waits,
for me to unlock my steel-proof gates.  

Oh, give thanks unto God,
For He is always present, always around,
to bring back home those who need to be found.  

Oh, give thanks unto God,
For He is always near,
ready to catch every drop, every tear. 

I have this thing whereby I like to make things rhyme. :)

Think I just found a new hobby.

I love worshipping. It's such a fun time.
Was feeling a bit down before LG but, as always, felt much better afterwards.
Really glad I went :)
So looking forward to SNL tmrw night! Wooo!
