ALL FOR LOVE THE FATHER GAVE
FOR ONLY LOVE COULD MAKE A WAY
ALL FOR LOVE THE HEAVENS CRIED
FOR LOVE WAS CRUCIFIED

OH HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE I BROKEN YOUR HEART
BUT STILL YOU FORGIVE
IF ONLY I ASK

AND HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE YOU HEARD ME PRAY
DRAW ME NEAR TO YOU

EVERYTHING I NEED IS YOU
MY BEGINNING, MY FOREVER
EVERYTHING I NEED IS YOU

LET ME SING ALL FOR LOVE
I WILL JOIN THE ANGELS SONG
EVER HOLY IS THE LORD
KING OF GLORY, KING OF ALL

OH HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE I BROKEN YOUR HEART
BUT STILL YOU FORGIVE
IF ONLY I ASK

AND HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE YOU HEARD ME PRAY
DRAW ME NEAR TO YOU

EVERYTHING I NEED IS YOU
MY BEGINNING, MY FOREVER
EVERYTHING I NEED IS YOU

ALL FOR A LOVE, A SAVIOUR PRAYED
ABBA FATHER HAVE YOUR WAY
THOUGH THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO
LET THE CROSS DRAW MAN TO YOU

i just love this song.. i cried when i first heard this.. it proves Christ’s unconditional love for me.. remember that worship is an overflow of the heart. my heart just exploded with tears of joy. tears that caused me inner peace because i know that without Him, i am nothing. despite my multitude of sins, He still accepted me. He still forgives me. You died for me, a sinful, worthless me who never deserved to be saved. by Your blood i am made clean…why did You do that? You didn’t have to die for me or any sinner in this world! but You did…because You love us. all of us. i do pray that people would acknowledge You and Your Love more. i pray that they see the greatness of Your Love. everything that we need is You.. we don’t need anyone else, anything. You are enough. and we love You.

never leave me…

dark as the moon that hangs lightly in you; aren’t we the only ones drunk on that night? can you remember the sound of my voice? you should know i hear yours; don’t ask why.. and it took me some time to find my way back to the porch that held all the promises that we should never have made; and i knew it was strange; seeing you standing there, like nothing was wrong and you knew i belong; that i picture you took long ago.. maybe you’re right and the way that the light it made perfectly still it can’t show..

how we’ve come so far and away from the feelings we knew would lead us here; anyway, so like those flowers i left i know we’d never change one single moment saved that i’ve always spent lying quietly; when i looked into your eyes and i said, “God only knows when i’ll see you again.. should have kepy you away there and then.. where i’d have you all to myself and i know that it’s selfish but i just can’t help if i believe.. we can’t get enough of what magic we made together so never doubt that so long as the moon still hangs nightly then you can be sure i’ll be waiting each night..” (aww.)

 i still remember that time and your voice won me over so don’t ask me why.. don’t ask why this matter’s enough coz the answers you want won’t be too hard to find, if you try looking back here at the porch that we left early morning..

so darling..

before that old moon says goodnight all too soon, you should sit here like we did that night.. ask me again and then that’s when i’ll tell you..

why i’ll never leave you again…

 

 

“One In This World”

April 14, 2006

I’ve been searching for
A heart that needs a heart like mine
I’ve been reaching for
A hand that understands
I’ve been waiting for
Someone that I can love
That loves me
Loves me for the one that I am

Someone to hold me when I’m lonley
Someone to keep the rain away
They say
They say

[Chorus]
There’s one in this world for everyone
One heart
One soul to walk besides you
One in this life to share your love
One touch
To touch the heart inside you
Wanna reach for each night
Wanna trust with your life
That’s what I believe
You’re the one
The one in this world for me

I’ve been praying that
Someone like you would rescue me
I’ve been hoping that
I’ll find my way to you
I’ve been dreaming that
Someday I’ll finely find somebody
Somebody to make my dreams come ture

Somebody to hold me when I’m lonley
Someone to give my whole world to
They say
They say

[Chorus]

Somebody to hold me when I’m lonely
Someone to tell my secrets to
Someone who’s living for me only
Someone to give my whole world to
They say
They say
They say
They say

[Chorus]

You’re the one
You’re the one in this world for me
You’re the one

 

how would i know if you’re “the one” God created for me? i know i can never be oh-so-certain. i am hoping though. it’s very probable for us to disclose the feelings we have towards each other. oh how i dream of that day to come, and yet, despite the fact that i yearn for it… how come i have this doubt? this brusque and distasteful skepticism deep within me?

i want to remove it from this system of mine. i want to, but i cant! i long to be with you… i really want you to be the one. i’m glad i found somebody like you.. though i have this uncertainty, i have faith in both of us. that we can survive this separation and that, in His time, we can finally be in each other’s arms…

in that song, i love that line when it said, “they say you’re the one in this world for me.. somebody to hold me when i’m lonely.. (and so on..)” why? because it’s true. my friends declare it, but i can’t help denying it. call me the denial queen, but i just don’t want to admit it. in my heart, i promised to reserve myself for that somebody who would hold me when i’m lonely, to that someone i’d give my whole world to. right now, that person is my Lord. but of course, i can’t help but have you in mind as well.

i really want to tell you how much i love everything about you. the way you smirk when you’re plotting something evil against me, that dimple on your cheek when you smile as i say hello, the way your eyes twinkle when we talk, the way you make me laugh when i’m depressed, the comfort you give when you know something’s wrong, the absolute honesty you give me, the trust you freely gave, the sweet notions you think i don’t appreciate but you don’t know how much they mean to me, the simple things that mean so much…i just love those.

 

 

at night, i’d smile to myself. sometimes i think i’m going nuts, but i know that i just have this reassurance that i will be with you someday. i know God has plans for my life, i do pray with all of my heart that He includes you in it. as young as i am, i know i shouldn’t be thinking of who i shall be marrying in the future, for the future is in God’s hands and He is in control of that, nevertheless…i’m looking forward to that day when i discover that you are the “one”. how hopeful i am in that aspect of my life.

how bizarre is that? a friend told me you admitted to her that you do like-like me. you said it’s complicated. well, i say it is full of twists and turns, but isn’t that what makes it all worth it? it’s going to be so exciting. i’m really looking forward to God’s love story for me. we’ll never know, He could be implementing it right now…

“i’ll be seeing you”

April 6, 2006

yeah. i admit being this sentimental crappy person and i’m so pathetic. pathetic in a sense that i listen to sentimental emo crap even though i know it will make me cry and i DO cry when listening to it. why do i do that? i don’t know. i just do. call me emo, call me pathetic. but whatever you wanna call me, i’d still do what i desire. i will still listen to those songs that remind me so much of my pain. the songs that give me hope, but as they do…i still can’t help but shed a tear because there will be melancholy and anguish despite that hope.

looking for hope includes pain. memories do that i guess. they invoke hope but at the same time they also invoke pain. how delectable.

here’s one of those sentimental emo crap songs i’ve been talking about. thanks nic for introducing a new favorite song. i’m still raving about this song, and i still cry everytime i hear it…

nico said it’s from The Notebook, haven’t had the chance to watch it yet…but i will.

“I’ll be seeing you” - Billie Holday/Isha

I’ll be seeing you

In all the old familiar places

That this heart of mine embraces

All day through

In that small café

That park across the way

The children’s carousel

The chestnut tree

The wishing well

I’ll be seeing you

In every lovely summer’s day

In everything that’s light and gay

I’ll always think of you that way

I’ll find you in the morning sun

And when the night is new

I’ll be looking at the moon

And I’ll be seeing you…

to all the people i love: i dedicate to you this song, and as i shed these hopeful tears, remember that they were shed for you and how i’ll never forget our memories…

“Be Here To Love Me”

March 7, 2006

- Norah Jones -

Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine
Though you and I both know it’s only the warm glow of wine
That’s got you to feeling this way, but I don’t care,
I want you to stay
and hold me and tell me you’ll be here to love me today

Children are dancin’, the gamblers are chancin’ their all
The window’s accusing the door of abusing the wall
But who cares what the night watchmen say
The stage has been set for the play
Hold me and tell me you’ll be here to love me today

The moon’s come and gone but a few stars hang on on to the sky
The wind’s runnin’ free but it ain’t up to me ask why
The poets are demanding their pay
They’ve left me with nothin’ to say
‘cept hold me and tell me you’ll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me that you’ll be here to love me today
