If you can
If I was blind
I would reach out with my hands
to touch your face
to know your embrace
If I could not speak, then let my heart sing
Your Praises, Oh Lord
If I could not hear
then let my Spirit be filled with
Words that you speak to me
If I could not stand, then let my knees bow before You
Yet will I praise thee
If I lost it all, if I lose my way
If this world steals my voice and I'm left in the dark
and Silence fills my life
I would praise You all of my days
Help me to be all that you want of me
let me mean all these words that i say
I want to see you in my life
Not just in the lives of others
I want to speak of Your goodness
and not just hear You from afar
I want to feel you with all of my senses
Do you know the fullness of God?
Can you taste of the Lord and know that He is Good
and drink of the fountain that never runs dry.

Fallen
Potrait of a life
so slowly fades away
in all its glorious disarray
paint pastel colours
like the rainbows of glory
am i too late for a sorry
will i remember yesterday
forgetting who am i today
illusions of imperfect reality
delusions of a life without honesty
fallen heroes calling tragedy
sunshine and rain
the beginning and the end
of a new eternity
of ashes and beauty reign
oceans and skies
honor and pride
wage wars for nothing
but truthful lies

Live and Love
A Father I found
One who loves me more
than Life itself
A child You have found
One You sought to the point
of Death itself
What is left in this world?
That means to me more than You
My days You have fashioned
and all my life You wrote
You formed the words that I will say
The thoughts that I will think
You know exactly how I feel
and You know how much I love You
God, You taught me how
To Live, To Live...
... to Die
To myself, Oh God!
Not my will, but Yours be done
For my sake, You died
and for Yours, I will Live

Unknowingly
So clear, evening sky
I'm lost in the beauty of His Glory on high
His lovingkindness, and grace for me
He blessed me with a friend
who will always be
the reason I smile
Unknowingly
I'll cherish this memory
Sleep's silhouette will not steal from me
the certainty
Doubt's shadow will not fall on me
Of this I'm sure
that you will be
All God wants you to be
So clear, morning sky
In awe of the wonder of His glory on high
So deep, His love for me
He blessed me with a friend
who will always be the reason I smile
Unknowingly
Psalm 84
How lovely is Your
Dwelling place, Oh Lord
I faint with longing
to enter Your courts
With my whole being
Body and my Soul
I'll shout with Joy
to the Living God
Even if I have to walk through
the Valley of Weeping
It will become a place
of refreshing joy
and when I finally reach
that place You prepared for me
A single day spent in Your courts
Is better than a thousand elsewhere
I would rather be a keeper of gates
in the House of my God
For the Lord God is my Light
He protects me day and night
No good thing will You ever withhold
from those who do whats right
I am Yours.

Ever Need
My one heart's desire
is to honour You
and all that is within me
will give You praise
All that You require
is brokenness in me
I fall down at Your feet
and worship You
You are the One my soul longs for
Lord I live for You
my heart has heard Your call for me
and this is my answer
Lord You are the One I want
Everything my soul ever needs
and in You alone will I trust
Forever.

Okay... i'm only doing this for the sake of continuity for Michelle and Kelvin's weird tendencies. Hmmm... i'm not very extraordinary really. Anyway, here goes:
6 weird facts about myself.
1. When i was still a toddler, er... I had this set of lorry trucks with the tracks and the little black biji think that the tractor would scoop and bring it to the construction site... Used to be my favourite toy! Well, that was until I put one of those black biji into my nose and it got stuck there... almost died. Was probably turning blue already when my Aunt picked me up and turned me upside down or something like that.
2. Still in toddlerhood, I used to love er... banging my nose against any hard object (wall, floor, door) I think I watched to many woody woodpecker cartoons.
3. When i was in Std 6, my class teacher threw me out of class and tore my exercise book because she caught me for the upteenth time trying to finish my homework in class (I blame the x-men cartoons). Before she allowed me back in though, 10 'guarantors' from my class had to vouch for me (true friends all), meaning that if i messed up again, these 10 would get it alongside me. What drama.
4. Many other near death experiences: Falling on the 3rd floor ledge of school trying to pick up a batu seremban, Getting squashed by a shopping cart at the sloping escalators of Carrefour, Getting caught in between the doors of a closing MRT and the metal safety doors in underground MRTs in Singapore (I was that thin to get caught between!) but i think someone stopped it from closing completely by putting a foot in between the doors, Falling down a flight of stairs in another MRT while chasing a snatch thief in Singapore. Thank God He preserved my life for such a purpose as only He knows. One thing I haven't done is push a girl out of the way of an incoming car, and getting banged in the process. That'd be cool. (watched too many TVB dramas.)
5. I hate durians. I fell on one before.
6. I have a torn ligament in my right knee. For you medical students, its the anterior cruciate ligament. I can't turn directions quickly... If I try, i'd laterally displace my patella and would end up crumbled in a heap. I also have weird ECG readings. ST wave elevation and inverted T wave. That should mean I have a myocardial infarct! Sudden Cardiac Death right after finishing EOS 5 would be the saddest thing that could ever happen to an IMU student.
Anyways, thats about it... Will get back to my studies now! I'm supposed to tag a few other people's blogs to continue this, but i'll just leave it to your own discretion. Let me know if you do post about this, it'd be cool to know weird stuff about you all as well! God bless.
