extravagant love come down


“I OFFER MY LIFE”

I OFFER MY LIFE

VERSE 1
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before You, O Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaim
The joy and the pain, I’m making them Yours

CHORUS
Lord I offer my life to You
Everything I’ve been through
Use it for Your glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life

VERSE 2
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my pains
My heart and my hands are lifted to You

CHORUS

BRIDGE
What can we give, That You have not given
And what do we have
That is not already Yours
All we possess are these lives we’re living
And that’s what we give to You, Lord

CHORUS

________________________________________________________________________________________________

God, all these questions, all these worries, all these doubts, I give them to You. All my pain, all my sorrow, all my happiness, all my trust, I put them in You.



“POINT OF DIFFERENCE”


VERSE 1
The tide is turning
This is redemption’s hour
In the midst of a world lost for love
You are all we have now
The lost returning
Salvation is all around
In the midst of a world broken down
You are all we have now
For You are God and this hope is ours

CHORUS 1
So Father open the skies
Flood the earth with Your light
This is love to break a world indifferent

VERSE 2
Our hearts are burning a fire that won’t burn out
In the midst of a world that’s grown cold
You are all we have now
The earth resounding the anthem of Your renown
As we lift up our eyes and look to Your glory
Call us out
Let the world see You are God
And this hope is ours
So call us out
Let the world see You are God

CHORUS 2
Open the skies
Flood the earth with Your light
This is love to break a world indifferent
As we lift up our eyes
Fill our hearts with Your fire
In a world the same we’ll be the different, the difference

So call us out
Let the world see You are God
And this hope is ours

BRIDGE
Our eyes are open
Every chain now broken
We’re in this world but we are different
Let Your love become us
As we live to make You famous
We’re in this world but we are different

So call us out
Let the world see You are God

CHORUS 2

So call us out let the world see You are God
One and only in this world
You are all we have now

“INFILTRATE”

INFILTRATE
by Worth Dying For

RAP
I’m a part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed.
I have Holy Spirit power.
I’ve stepped over the line.
The decision has been made.
I’m a disciple of His.
I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.
My past redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure.
I’m finished and done with low living, sidewalking, small-planning, smooth-knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, worldly-talking, cheap-giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need pre-eminence, position, promotion, applause or popularity.
I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded.

I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience.
I’m uplifted by prayer, and labour by power.
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my God reliable.
My mission is clear.
I cannot be bumped, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of my adversaries, negotiate at the table of my enemy or ponder at the pool of popularity.
I won’t give up, shut up, let up until I’ve stayed up, stored up, prayed up, preached up for the cause of Christ.
I am a DISCIPLE OF JESUS.

CHORUS
We will fight for You
We will die for You
We will go
For You
(REPEAT)

I’ve never liked raps. But whoa. This rap is one that I’d wanna learn and execute man. Okay la not exactly rap la but rather a declaration. You can hear the conviction of what God has done in the life of the rapper from his voice and tone la. Strong and determined words like these are just so powerful. And it tells of how passionate we should be for God. I know I am not all these but I WANT TO BE.

Found that the rap lyrics were actually extracted from a Christian bikers’ group (The Forgiven Christian Riders) somewhere in Africa. “It is said that this statement of following Christ is from a part of Africa where persecution is great and where people consistently give their life for the sake of the gospel this statement hangs on a wall of those who are devoted to following Christ.”

TILL I SEE YOU
By Hillsong United

VERSE 1
The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul

And ’till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I’ll trust in You
With all I am I’ll live to see Your kingdom come
And in my heart I pray You’d let Your will be done
And ’till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I will trust in You

CHORUS
I will live to love You
I will live to bring You praise
I will live a child in awe of You

VERSE 2
You are the voice that called the universe to be
You are the whisper in my heart that speaks to me

And ’till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I’ll trust in You

CHORUS (X2)

You alone are God of all
You alone are worthy Lord
And with all I am
My soul will bless Your name

CHORUS (X2)

Sigh… You know what makes a good song? I don’t know. All the technicalities and all the skills involved, and all the editing or equalizing, etc etc? I have no clue about all these stuff.

But I’d immediately know one if it touches my heart. Only His love can. Only words that sing about the greatest love can touch anyone’s heart. Because it is all about the love that He displayed on the cross that has the power. =)



“FOREVER”

FOREVER
by Hillsong United

VERSE 1
I’ll worship at Your Throne
Whisper my own love song
With all my heart I’ll sing
For You my Dad and King
I’ll live for all my days
To put a smile on Your face

And when we finally meet
It’ll be for eternity

PRE-CHORUS
And oh how wide You open up Your arms
When I need Your love
And how far You would come
If ever I was lost
And You said that all You feel for me
Is undying love
That You showed me through the Cross

CHORUS
I’ll worship You my God
I’ll worship You my God
I love You
I love You
Forever I will sing
Forever I will be with You

Be with You

VERSE
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS (X2)

There’s something just so beautiful about this song: God’s love. =)
