Babyface - Every Time I Close My Eyes Lyrics



Girl, it's been a long, long time comin'
But I, I know that it's been worth the wait
It feels like springtime in winter
It feels like Christmas in June
It feels like heaven has opened up
its gates for me and you

1-And every time I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that I've got you
And you've got me too
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself 'cause I don't believe it's true
That someone like you loves me too, yeah

Girl, I think that you're truly somethin'
Yes, you are, and you're every bit of a dream come true
With you baby, it never rains and it's no wonder
The sun always shines when I'm near you
It's just a blessing that I have found somebody like you
(repeat 1)

To think of all the nights I've cried myself to sleep
You really oughta know how much you mean to me
It's only right that you be in my life
Right here with me, oh baby, baby
(rpt 1)

Spiritual Warfare

Ever since I was a child, I always had deep thoughts, thoughts which scare me even to this day. One recurring thought that I always had was about death. I think it's a question we all ponder at one point of our lives or another. The question is: Where do we go after death? The ever impending-yet-unsatisfactorily answered question. Yes, we all know that your body die and decompose but what happens to the soul/spirit? Where does this person with this personality go? Does it just disappear? So what's the point of living? We might as well just die. It's this fearful thought that keeps me awake on some nights and create this cold, dark depressing fear that envelops you from within. It's not a nice feeling.

Last week as I was watching a movie on my laptop, 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and suddenly I just felt that cold dark fear from within me. I felt cold and weak all of a sudden and more so fearful, a deep-penetrating fear. I felt truly scared at that point of time and I just closed my laptop and said a prayer to God and asked Him for strength and an answer. I opened the Bible and I was given the answer in Mark 14-15. Despite this fear I have of death, I think I have salvation in the form of Jesus dying for us on the cross and saving us all. It's a simple answer yet it strikes at the heart of the fear. Yes we are humans and we have fears and emotions but we should all look to God and thank Him for sending us His Son to save our souls. Amen. AMEN!

Little Is Much When God Is In It... {John 6:1-15}

Today was Sunday and I went to church to listen to what good news God had for me today. The title of today’s sermon was ‘Little is much when God is in it’. It’s such a simple message yet so powerful at the same time. Such is the power of God’s words. The main verse for the sermon was John 6 : 1-15 which is basically about the feeding of 5000 men by Jesus with five loaves and two fishes, given by an unnamed boy. I think part of the reason why this boy is unnamed is because this boy represents who we potentially can be, as opposed to who we are now, like Philip and Andrew.

Little is much when God is in it. It reminds us again of how little we have, something we’re all so aware of but time and time again we seek to get more but not through God but through our own mortal means. It goes back to why probably many ‘successful’ men can have so much in their lives yet at the same time feels so empty, because the thing that they should be seeking is God. This reminds me of the pondering from Day 12 (Fri, 14^th Dec) of the AG4 21-Day Fasting & Praying Guide.

“The world honors those who are intelligent, beautiful, rich and powerful. Yet many a time, in the kingdom of God, God does otherwise to use the foolish and shame the wise, simple because He sees the hearts.”

He sees the heart. We may have little but when we give what little we have and give thanks to Him, we shall reap in abundance. Pastor Jeff was saying that we will ALWAYS have problems. There will be problems to which we have limited resources to solve and problems that have overwhelming needs, but these circumstances are understandable, for we have little and there is always a problem beyond us BUT not beyond God. So we should learn to look to Jesus instead to solve us problems just like how we went to Him for Salvation. James 1:5 states that “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” He will provide when we ask. He will provide with what we need, not what we want.

The service ended of with a POWERFUL rendition of Corrinne May’s Five Loaves And Two Fishes. And by powerful I don’t just mean the voice of the singer, but I also felt the power of God speaking through those words, to my heart, and probably to many more too. There was probably a good reason why they dimmed the lights for the song. Pure beauty, pure joy… What an ending befitting of God’s awesome power. Simple yet so powerful.

I think as Christmas approaches, we should all renew our faith and offer to Him what little we have and give thanks for that little we have. Amen. Amen...

*you think you've read the story five loaves and two fishes but everytime you read it, there's just so much more to learn from it. Arsenal 1 - 0 Chelsea. Praise the Lord.*

Repentance...

*i've traveled on many journeys with you, just not the journey to heaven and for that i regret ~ JC*

I started going to church about a month back or so. This is the first time I've been to church voluntarily. I guess it was just a search for more profound answers, a search which lead to God. I guess this search gets more pronounced when you start working where you start questioning your purpose in life and the whole meaning to it. And when you go to church and see the people in it and how God touched their life and somehow even though they come from different backgrounds and different walks of life, you can see the hands of God moving in them. They just live with a zest for life, moving with a purpose, a purpose with God.

When I accepted Jesus in my life last sunday, I didn't felt the over joyous feeling described by some people. Instead I felt this wash of inner calm flow over me, a feeling of peace and silent joy, as if a storm calmed by God's hands. Till today that thought still puts a smile on my face whenever I think about it. I think that storm was all the burdens of life which I was carrying all this while and now that He is by my side, He has lifted that burden from my shoulders and set me free. This is of course followed by many thoughts and feelings to which is too overwhelming to describe. But most of all I thank all who have share their lives with me, how they came to meet God and how it changed their lives. This is just the beginning of a long journey, a journey of ups and downs. The only difference from before is that now I have Him by my side. God bless...

If only...

Choices

Our lives are dictated by the choices and decisions we make. Every choice, small or big, we make will have repercussions, whether now or in the future. That is why it is important to isolate each and every moment we live in and see each moment for what it really is, that moment. We must detach any emotions or feelings we might have for that moment and look at it for that moment itself and see it without bias. It sounds easier than it seems but by doing this, we make a choice based on that moment itself without bias and by doing so, the ultimate best end result can be achieved. We achieve self-realisation. For further thoughts, go watch the movie, The Drummer.

On another note of making choices, not doing anything is also making a choice. You have made a choice not to do anything. Hence not doing anything about your current situation does not mean you're better off. A good illustration would be someone who's contented with his life or just can't be bothered to advance when he/she could be doing something better. Someone who has a reasonable job which allows him/her to work from 9-5 and pays an average salary. He/she on the other hand could go for more training, as it's so thoroughly emphasized by the Singapore government, and advance further in his/her career and take on more responsibilities and achieve something better for himself/herself. There are many cases of people who have just completed secondary education but have went on to take courses to better themselves and hence their respective companies have recognised this initiative to learn and better themselves and promoted them. Ultimately, it's up to YOU. There are both sides of the argument as always but it boils down to one thing.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Hence the CHOICE of doing something about it or not doing anything about it. What do you want out of life ladies and gentlemen?
