???

What is it in Your mind? I was wondering...have I gone too far? Or I'm just at the brink of Your perfect will?

Guess this is like the moment, when You called Peter to step out of the boat, and walk on the water...

Not only I never walk on the water before...naturally I am a lousy swimmer as well.

Oh, God, hands up---I surrender all: be it unto me according to Your will.

Voiceless Ramble

Facing trials and temptations
Bearing pain and false accusations
Dreaming of sudden sweet release
To be free from all these fatigue

Entering slowly into the prayer chamber
Looking upon the Face adorable ever
In the midst of soul turmoil and restlessness
Finding answer beyond awareness

The reason of not having despair
Not lying in the strength of one’s flair
Might as well fall, fall flat on the ground
Breaking into trillion of pieces can't be found

At the end of one's entire efforts
Waiting another open door
Unlocking through helplessness
In the presence of hopelessness

Gathering power not of self own
Relying on the nail scarred hands
Reaching out in faith and hope
That someday this battle will end

Meanwhile, as the clock is still ticking
A failure is just a momentary pause
As the heart is still pounding
Dedicating each for Your cause

Need not clear explanation
For every life springing question
Just a simple grace every second
Treading this path till the beyond

At the end of strength, in the midst of failure, thank You for walking beside me and reminding me of the battle perspective and how the war has been won...Lord, please forgive me, cleanse me with Your blood, I'm reaching out for You. Take me under Your wing of healing and carry me through this storm. Amen.

O Love that wilt not let me go...

Of all the hymns that I love, there is one that's resounding in my life. It's not as popular as Amazing Grace, or I Surrender All, or Blessed Assurance, but I think the 4 verses really cover the different aspects of God's characteristics in our life.Though I've never had a chance to sing it in church worship services, I'm so glad that God still let me learn the sweet tune and beautiful lyrics. My most favourite part is in the first line of verse 1 (which reminds me of a sweet whisper one moment in my life long ago) and verse 3. I hope you all may enjoy these 4 wonderful verses also:

O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
(Text: George Matheson, 1842-1906;Music: Albert L. Peace, 1844-1912)

1. O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
that in Thine ocean depths
its flow may richer, fuller be.

2. O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in Thy sunshine's blaze
its day may brighter, fairer be.

3. O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow thru the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.

4. O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms
red life that shall endless be.
