'Til I see You face to face...Come, Lord Jesus, Come

I don't have too too much to say. Maybe I'll edit this post later. But I just wanted to post up a couple worship songs that have really been encouraging me the past couple of weeks/days =]. I'll put down my favorite lines. If they touch you too, praise God! & if you feel like commenting, please do so we can rejoice with you =]. Take care, peoples!

"With All I Am" ~Hillsong




The greatest love that anyone could ever know
it over came the cross and grave to find my soul..
and 'til i see You face to face, and grace amazing take me home,
I'll trust in You

I will live, a child in awe of You


"All Who Are Thirsty" ~Kutless



Nothing but Your will for me,
I am only free when You--
Come, Lord Jesus, Come


"Came To My Rescue" ~Hillsong




I called, You answered
and You came to my rescue, and I
wanna be where You are

In my life, be lifted high!
In my world, be lifted high!
In our love, be lifted high!

okay, there's actually something I realize I probably didn't share with some of you who view this blog. This song, "Came To My Rescue", has a special significance for me. There was a time in February where I was feeling spiritually dry. On retreat with my church from SD, there was an extended time of worship, and I was asking God to really touch me. I actually felt like God telling me that I should go outside to listen for Him, but I was a little resistant, kind of hoping that I could be ministered to through the songs instead. But eventually, I prayed, "okay..I don't really know what you're doing God, but I'll go outside and try to listen to you there." I go outside and look at the stars; and not 5 minutes later, I met the leader of the guest worship band (not on stage at the time). We both actually shared with each other that we were having some difficult spiritual dry-spots of our own. And for him, he was having a hard time loving his teammates. I asked if I could pray for him, and he said, "you know, I had actually just asked God to send somebody to pray for me..". Like wow, right? And while we were actually talking, I could hear the song "Came to my Rescue" play from inside, and I couldn't help but side-focus on the lines, "I called, You answered.. and You came to my rescue and I wanna be where You are." I'm convinced that outside, praying with that person, was exactly where God was intending to show up in both of our lives.

It doesn't even end there x]. When the person was praying for me, he felt convicted to pray for my mom and her spiritual walk. I didn't talk to him at all about my mom before we started praying. He told me he had no clue what it meant; if it doesn't mean anything, then it'll just pass, but it's what he felt led to pray about. I talked to my family on the phone after the retreat, and it turns out that it was on that same night, my mom was sharing with the High School Fellowship during candlelight sharing at their retreat that she wanted to take her walk with God more seriously. like WOW.


Our God is AMAZING. =]. Thanks for reading this far!

You loved a people undeserving!

"To Know Your Name" ~Hillsong

This is one of the new worship songs that God's blessed me with while at UCSD. It's been an awesome song, just reminding me of how God is so good... Mmhmm. A simple song, telling the gospel in its simplest form, while telling some of the most profound mysteries our minds can('t) handle. Why should we, the sinful rebellious creations, deserved to be loved in such a manner by a holy and just Creator? That He would send His Son for us, to knowingly die for us? Life, only through Him.. isn't God SO good? =].

You loved..You loved
a people undeserving

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..."
