Who am I?

Lately, I have been trying to brighten up my days with songs of praise. They said that after uni, it will be harder to maintain our spiritual life since there will be less time for us to spend in a fellowship or ministry, and I started to understand why... That's why I tell myself that I need to work harder in my spiritual discipline.

This song has been a constant reminder for me. It was not our work, not who we are that enables us to call God our Father. It was Christ. It was what he had done in that old rugged cross. We are merely a withering flower, here today and gone tomorrow. A vapor in the wind, insignificant and swept away with ease. But behold, He still faithfully carry that cross to the hill, died for our transgression. Let's remind ourselves daily about His sacrifice, about His love that has brought peace to this world.

Who am I?

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name, would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I, that the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way, for my ever wandering heart?

Not because of who I am, but because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done, but because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean, A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling, Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am:
I am yours. I am yours.

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again?
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain and calm the storm in me?

Not because of who I am, but because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done, but because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling, Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am:
I am yours.

Not because of who I am, but because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done, but because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling, Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am:
I am yours. I am yours.
I am yours.

Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?
I am yours.. ('cause) I am yours..


(I took a cute video since most of you should have heard this song before =P)

There was a time when I lost my desire to write and to share. There was a time when I didn't see the point of doing a blog to express my thought. I am who I am though, inconsistent as I am in doing this blog, but I do want to share and I do long to write. Today I'm giving it another go. Fingers crossed. But I still wish that "Let there be light" is the message that I convey.
