Praise !

we praise God in lifting our hands up,
singing many wonderful praise songs to God,
jumping high during praise.


but the question is: Do we ever praise God in the midst of of storm?

my sheep ask me: How?
through the situations now, it's seriously impossible, hard.
i agree with her.
it's easy to praise God in good situations,
but in bad situations, we tend to grumble, complain
giving thanks and praises to God doesn't seem even to be in my mind.

i'm in the midst of reading Answers To Praise,
it's a really refreshing book, many miracles, healings took place,
after the people praise God.
maybe i have to learn to praise God in every situations.

every morning, just sing a praise song to God,
or even praise God in words,
your day will definitely be GOOD!

yes! my POA remedial was actually cancelled today,
miracle!
i can't help to thank God!

recently, this song came into my mind,
it's been months since i had listened.

The Time Has Come - Hillsong United

to give You praise, in everything i do.

Refreshing videos

the next video is a song presentation call: 祷告[Pray]
it's in chinese though, but its nice!

Songs.

Went into imeem.com and i found 2 amazing songs.

Healer
the person who lead this song has cancer and He believe God will heal him.he came in with an oxygen tank and lead the song amazingly.

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

I trust in You
I trust in You

I believe You’re my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You’re my Portion
I believe You’re more than enough for me
Jesus You’re all I need

My Healer, You’re my Healer

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

Desert Song
it sounds like a revival song.

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

This my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame

I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow.

I'm refreshed.

ARGH!
Mrs Lee bombarded homeworks at us,
it's like 6 homeworks in total, just as i've expected .
STRESS !

was doing some amaths work and i played with notepad,
i was doing some equations in the notepad,
then a girl came and disturb me,
so i disturb her back and i wrote ,

just as what you saw here ,
but both of us know that we're disturbing each other .

shucks, tomorrow; getting back report book ,
i'm going to see F9 on my Amaths D:
Ugly result slip X.x
well, if that's what going to happen, let it be .

HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!!

but, homeworks are another problem D:<

i love this song :D

Back On Blogger ;DD

YEAHS!! vivien finally can blog!
yesterday i tried to blog and don't know got some errors D:
and i'm on the verge of deciding whether should i go and use xanga or livejournal,
and i was so sad that i can't blog ):
i prayed before i enter the create post thingy,
and prayer was answered :)

okays, so i'll just start randomly,
monday had mother tongue test, mcq .
and teacher said i failed }: and mind you, it's mcq .
i'm lousy at that D:
and i'm prepared to fail my english too .
that's what i think, but i sense that God helped me thru the test .

and yesterday Amaths lesson was a hilarious one,
was supposed to do question 10 but whole class don't know how to do,
then Mrs Lee say: you cancel, cancel , cancel,
in the end the answer was 1,
the whole class was STUNNED O.O
and we laughed at ourselves .

today's POA lesson was okok one,
tomorrow got POA test,
erhs.. i felt so bored . POA and POA and POA,
and today, i had to see ms hew for 1hr 50 min .
and so on and forth...

this week to me is seriously very packed .
aww... i miss my lower sec years, more slacking ,
time to get out of comfort zones :D

i gave all my burdens to God in my prayer meet,
i know that God is going to do something with it .
i need God to give me strength this week ;D

oh ya, yesterday i listened to this song,
it's nice :D my next potential on playing list music (:

Wednesday ?

Yeahs! vivien is back to blog,
i'm blogging before i continue to do my maths homeworks .
i detest maths, but i will try to appreciate it =X
i try : .

ok, today's POA lesson is not so good .
ms hew can explain 10 times and i could not understand .
my friend just explain once and i understood. LOL
when she said about discount received and i don't understand.
ms hew: understand ?
me: No .
and she give me a pek chek face .
seriously, i tried to told myself not to hate POA .
i may detest the POA teacher, but the subject is innocent .
Account makes me mad!!!

ok, this is vivien's result slip D:

CA1 result slip:
English: 21/50
Maths: 21/40

Biology: 11.5/25 [ D: ]
Chemistry: 20/25
SS: 8/12
POA: 15/20
Chinese: 35/50

today's prayer meet was a refreshing ones .
i believe that all the level ups are refresh .
oh ya, just to blog about what God told me about North A
it reminded me of the Israelites,
the Israelites can reach to the Promised land in 11 days,
but it took them 40 years to reach there.
i believe this scenerio look like what we're facing now .
maybe it can just took us 1 or 2 months to go to the Promise land,
in the end, we dragged, stay in comfort zones blah blah .
and here we are, taking months !
so let us don't be like the Israelites who doubt God so much,
but to trust God fully with all our hearts .

i love this song really a lot, up till now .

but but but, also beelyrics.com
and i found this nice songs that i wanna share .
may sound a bit dull, but just listen to the lyrics :D



How Can you Refuse Him Now

There's a story old, that has often been told,
Of how our savior died, as they nailed his hands,
He cried they don't understand,
As the blood flowed from his side.

How can you refuse him now, how can you refuse him now,
How can you turn away from his side,
With tears in his eyes, on the cross there he died,
How can you refuse Jesus now.

As he hung there on the tree, he prayed for you and me,
There was no one his pain to ease,
Before he died, he faintly cried,
Father forgive them please.

that's all folks .
have a blessed chinese new year ahead :D

http://hillsonglyrics.blogspot.com/search/label/%22All%20of%20the%20Above%22

The lyrics is really meaningful!

i'm counting my blessing within one day. [i.e Yesterday]

#1 Yishun Sec finally had a breakthrough!
vivien was incredibly happy when the breakthrough happens.

#2 Managed to brought the train home.
it may sound silly, but let me explain ok.
yesterday we brought the train home after 12am.
it's risky for the woodlands people because they might miss the train.
so we listen to the annoucement:
the train is now available towards: Yishun, Woodlands and Kranji.
and know what?
All of us managed to brought the last train to kranji home :D
Thank God!

#3 My parents dint scold me :D
i reached home around 12.50am.
and my father woke up O.O
all he said was: why so late reach home? you huh...
and he went to the toilet. the end.
perhaps he was too tired to tick me off.
hehe. but it was God and i knew it. :D

and i enjoy the christmas masquerade.
the main thing is, we keep pulling people into the soap thingy.
and i got pulled countless times. D:
i don't know why and i had no strength to defend myself.
but i defintely enjoyed myself there.

i told God during the service: make this christmas a memorable one to me.
i guess He really done it, more than i expected.
Thank you God ! :D




this song is nice, do listen it okays? :D

let me post a song here:




To Know Your Name

The precious blood of Jesus Christ redeems,
forgiven I’m alive, restored set free.
Your majesty resides inside of me,
forever I believe. forever I believe.

arrested by your truth and righteousness
your grace has overwhelmed my brokenness
convicted by your spirit, led by your word
your love will never fail
your love will never fail

‘Cause I know you gave,
the world your only son for us
to know your name, to live within the saviours love
and he took my place,knowing he’d be crucified
and you loved.. you loved, a people undeserving

today is finally the last day of school!! :DD and 2 holiday homeworks!!
but the week is still tight, i need to do a lot of stuffs.
and got back my report book, i did improve compared to the last term 1 ca papers. [mid year is not comparable, due to hfm, obviously i did better -.-]

and yesterday til now, 2e9 was the most hyperactive class ever..
we are very ki siao, shout like nobody's business.
and we saw our class photo.. smileys everyday :DD

imeem is almost reducing songs to 30 seconds. so changed song. [it's nice]

Lord Of lords - Hillsong Music Australia

Beholding Your beauty
Is all that I long for
To worship You Jesus
Is my sole desire
For this very heart
You have shaped for Your pleasure
Purposed to lift Your Name higher

Here in surrender
In pure adoration
I enter Your courts
With an offering of praise
I am Your servant
Come to bring You glory
As is fit for the work of Your hands

Chorus 1:
Now unto the Lamb
Who sits on the throne
Be glory and honour and praise
All of creation resounds with the song
Worship and praise Him
The Lord of lords

Spirit now living
And dwelling within me
Keep my eyes fixed
Ever on Jesus' face
Let not the things of this world
Ever sway me
I'll run 'til I finish the race

Chorus 2:
Now unto the Lamb
Who sits on the throne
Be glory and honour and praise
All of eternity echoes the song
Worship and praise Him
The Lord of lords

Holy Lord
You are holy

Chorus 3:
Now unto the Lamb
Who sits on the throne
Be glory and honour and praise
Call all the saints to join in the song
Worship and praise Him
The Lord of lords

SAVIOUR KING- HILLSONG MUSIC AUSTRALIA

Verse 1

And now the weak say I have strength

By the spirit of power that raised Christ from the dead

And now the poor stand and confess

That my portion is you and I'm more than blessed

Pre-chorus

Let now our hearts burn with a flame

A fire consuming all for your Son's holy name

And with the heavens we declare

You are our king

Chorus

We love you Lord, we worship you

You are our God, you alone are good

You asked your Son to carry this

The heavy cross our weight of sin

I love you Lord, I worship you

Hope which was lost, now stands renewed

I give my life to honor this

The love of Christ, the savior king

Verse 2

Let now your church shine as the bride

That you soar in your heart as you offered up your life

Let now the lost be welcomed home

By the saved and redeemed those adopted as your own

Ending

I give my life to honor this

The love of Christ, the savior king

Corrinne May - Five Loaves and Two Fishes Lyrics

A little boy of thirteen
was on his way to school
He heard a crowd of people laughing
and he went to take a look
Thousands were listening
to the stories of one man
He spoke with such wisdom,
even the kids could understand

The hours passed so quickly
the day turned to night
Everyone was hungry
but there was no food in sight
The boy looked in his lunchbox
at the little that he had
He wasn't sure what good it'd do
there were thousands to be fed

But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus
the kindness in His smile
and the boy cried out
with the trust of a child
he said:

"Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
to feed them all"

I often think about that boy
when I'm feeling small
and I worry that the work I do
means nothing at all

But every single tear I cry
is a diamond in His hands
and every door that slams in my face
I will offer up in prayer

So I'll give you every breadth that I have
Oh Lord, you can work miracles
All that you need is my "Amen"

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small

I trust in you
I trust in you

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
no gift is too small





i will update soon ;DD

I'm Not Ashamed

When You found me
My whole world changed
I'm redeemed by life

Let the earth see
You are freedom
Turn my darkness to light

You welcomed me in
With open arms
Into on ending life

I'm not ashamed of the gospel Lord
Your power, your Love has saved my soul now
I'm alive in You
I'm living the rising son.


i finally finished reading the book: Sharing Christ when You feel You can't
i learnt about the skills and the heart attitude
it's a good book to read [it's just that i keep on drag =.-]

yes, that's the lyrics of one of my favourite songs, i posted on my blog before and now i put the song back again ;DD

Romans 1: 16
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

this is a powerful song (: you can hear from my playlist, it's call Hosanna, look at the lyrics and you'll know :DD

Hosanna

I see the king of glory
Coming down the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing

Chorus
Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

Verse 2
I see a generation
Rising up to take the place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a new revival
Staring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees, we're on our knees

Bridge
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what is yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

here to post something!!
today had a great time going out!!
saw post PICTURES tomorrow, but videos first =DD

everlyn and liyan fighting

okay, now i would like to share a song, it's really nice (: [i got to know this song when i was listening to the album, in life bookshop.]



here's the lyrics.

PLANETSHAKERS - I'm Yours

Oh Lord
When I think of all You've done
My heart sings of Your love
That saved my soul
And made me whole
My life is Yours

Cause You paid the price
I give You my life, I'm Yours

So no matter what the cost
I will go for You
No matter what it takes, I'm Yours
Because You paid the price at Calvary
I give You my whole life, I'm Yours

Oh Lord
My everything to You I lift
My heart and soul I live
For You alone
I'm not my own
My life is Yours

I'm Yours
Jesus I am Yours

Hillsong United – Point Of Difference lyrics



The tide is turning
This is redemptions 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 the world broken down
You are all we have now
For You are God and this hope is ours
So Father open the skies
Flood the earth with Your light
This is love
To break the world indifferent

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 reknown
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, as we sing

So Father open the skies
Flood the earth with Your light
This is love
To break the world indifferent
As we lift up our eyes
Fill our hearts with Your fire
In a world of sin
We'll be different, the difference

Our eyes are open
Every chain now broken
In this world
We are different
Let Your love become us
As we live to make You famous
In this world
We are different
So call us out
Let the world see
You are God, as we sing

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