Angel



"Angel" - by Sarah Mclachlan

This is a very beautiful and very sad song. Life is not always smooth. I am not contemplating ending my life, as this song may imply, but I do long for that "comfort" of being "in the arms of the Angel." These couple of lines, though a bit morbid, are beautifully written: "I need some distraction, oh beautiful release / Memories seep from my veins / Let me be empty and weightless / And maybe I'll find some peace tonight... In the arms of the Angel..."

Please pray for me. I do long for that comfort.

My Heart Will Fly

Just a quick amendment... i believe the line is supposed to be "...why write the script" (w/o the "I"). But yeahs, this is "My Heart Will Fly" ~Mercy Me



haven't really been posting on this blog for a while. this is a nice song that I really think is good, especially for us who can't always figure out why certain things are happening in our lives.

"Why this happened I cannot explain...
why write the script with such heartache and pain
could there not have been an easier way?"

Beyond all the confusion and pain that this life brings, there is a great reassurance that it will all end, and that in that end we'll understand why all of those things happen. When we finally see God face to face, all of our momentary troubles will fade away...and it's something I'm looking forward to and keeping my focus on. All the things I go through, though I go through it now, I am promised will all be worth it when I finally see our Savior, God..

("Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.")

In 1 Corinthians 13:12, Paul hits on a point that here on earth, we're looking at life through faded glass...things are not clear and things don't make sense. But he reminds us of that day, when we'll finally see things clearly, and just as God knows us inside and out, we'll know Him and we'll understand why He took us through all the things we went through.

"And what appaears as incomplete...is still completely Yours
and one day we'll see as we've been seen
and we'll soar"

At The Cross



"At The Cross" - by Hillsong United

I was listening to a cover of "Lucky" by Colbie Caillat performed by Cathy Nguyen and AJ Rafael a while ago when I stumbled across this cover of "At the Cross". I found it utterly amazing. LOL! well, anyways... I just thought that this was a really beautiful song and the lyrics are amazing, as well...

Oh Lord, you searched me
You know my way
Even when I fail You,
I know you love me
Your holy presence
Surrounding me
In every season,
I know You love me,
I know You love me.

At the cross, I bow my knee,
Where Your blood was shed for me,
There's no greater love than this.
You have overcome the grave,
Your glory fills the highest place,
What can separate me now?


You go before me,
You shield my way,
Your hand upholds me;
I know You love me.
And when the earth fades,
Falls from my eyes,
And You stand before me,
I know You love me;
I know You love me

You tore the veil, You made a way
When You said that it is done.


This is one of those songs that i had to listen to over and over again. It's just really beautiful... "There's no greater love than this..." There really is nothing else that is greater or more loving than the God we have. "What can separate me now?" Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Although there are trials through life, He shields us, he protects us. Even when we fail him, he still loves us, and he still holds us up when we feel like falling. God is utterly amazing.

"I know You love me..."
