Yesterday was my third or fourth time serving in upperlight worship ministry! It was amazing how God used all of our giftings and talents to be put into good use for His Kingdom! Personally I'm a believer of serving God in the right ministry with the right calling and of cos the right gifting. And worship has always been one of them.
In fact, I have lately prayed about asking the Lord to purify my heart and revive my desire to serve God in the area of worship. And of cos, with this desire to worship God, I know that it can also be used to fulfill the evangelism bit. I know that In every single human being's inner most soul has a desire to worship God but because of our sins, everything seems to be covered by layers of sins and rebellion. Worship can be a channel to share the gospel and to touch the pple. :) thus, worship evangelism will be a ministry that I hope that God can use me in.
More than anything else, God's main purpose for our lives will always be to love Him and the people around us. I hope to be a child that is obedient to His calling.
The room grew still as she made her way to Jesus She stumbles through the tears that made her blind She felt such pain, some spoke in anger Heard folks whisper, there's no place here for her kind. Still on she came, through the shame that flushed her face Until at last she knelt before His feet. And though she spoke no words Everything she said was heard, As she poured her love for the Master From her box of Alabaster.
CHORUS
And I've come to pour my praise on Him like oil from Mary's Alabaster Box Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears and I dry them with my hair. You weren't there the night He found me. You did not feel what I felt when He wrapped His love all around me. And you don't know the cost of the oil in my Alabaster Box.
VERSE 2
I can't forget the way life used to be. I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound I spent my days pouring my life without measure. Into a little treasure box I thought I found. Until the day when Jesus came to me And healed my soul with the wonder of His touch. So now I'm giving back to Him all the praise He's worthy of . I've been forgiven and that's why I love Him so much.
CHORUS
And I've come to pour my praise on Him like oil from Mary's Alabaster Box Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears And I dry them with my hair, my hair. You weren't there the night Jesus found me. You did not feel what I felt When He wrapped His love all around me. And you don't know the cost of the oil Oh, you don't know the cost of my praise. You don't know the cost of the oilIn my Alabaster Box.
I remember last year posting a song by Kari Jobe, The More I Seek You, on my blog. Around same time this year, I discovered more of her songs again. She has a gifted voice from God. It is wonderful to see people who worship God so fervently.
Here is another song that she led, Revelation Song:
I love this song very much.. but can't find the full song streaming on imeem... but really, just enjoy the song man... Pour My Love On You Philip, Craig & Dean
Verse 1: I don't know how to say exactly how I feel And I can't begin to tell you what your love has meant I'm lost for words Is there a way to show the passion in my heart Can I express how truly great I think you are My dearest friend Lord, this is my desire To pour my love on You
Chorus: Like oil upon your feet Like wine for you to drink Like water from my heart I pour my love on you If praise is like perfume I'll lavish mine on you Till every drop is gone I'll pour my love on you
Verse 2: Is there a way to show the passion in my heart Can I express how truly great I think you are My dearest friend Lord, this is my desire To pour my love on you
Chorus: Like oil upon your feet Like wine for you to drink Like water from my heart I pour my love on you If praise is like perfume I'll lavish mine on you Till every drop is gone I'll pour my love on you
Chorus: Like oil upon your feet Like wine for you to drink Like water from my heart I pour my love on you If praise is like perfume I'll lavish mine on you Till every drop is gone
Pour my love on you Yeah
Chorus: Like oil upon your feet Like wine for you to drink Like water from my heart I pour my love on you If praise is like perfume I'll lavish mine on you Till every drop is gone
Chorus: Like oil upon your feet Like wine for you to drink Like water from my heart I pour my love on you If praise is like perfume I'll lavish mine on you Till every drop is gone I'll pour my love on you
The more i seek you, the more i find you The more i find you, the more I love you
C:I wanna sit at your feet drink from the cup in your hand. Lay back against you and breath, feel your heart beat This love is so deep, it's more than I can stand. I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming (From Top)
It was a very interesting morning... I was walking to the office and suddenly, the song "Forever" sprang up in my heart... I began to sing it because it was for my heavenly daddy... such a beautiful song and I can only dedicate to my Dad and King. :) Enjoy the song...
Forever by Marty Sampson, Hillsong Australia
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
And oh, how wide You open up Your arms When I need Your love How far You would come If ever I was lost You said that all You feel for me Is undying love That You showed me through the cross
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
One of my favorites for this album. It is nevertheless the song that touched me most when I was very down last year. God accompanied me through it all. Enjoy the song once again. :)
This song is one that touched my heart a lot. I know that God is my purpose, my freedom. Without Him, I am nothing. With Him, I can be everything through Christ who gives me strength.
I have never walked on water Felt the waves beneath my feet but At your Word Lord, I’ll receive Your Faith to walk on oceans deep
And I remember how You found me: In that very same place All my failing surely would've drowned me But You made a way
You are my freedom Jesus you’re the reason I’m kneeling again at Your throne Where would I be without You Here in my life, here in my life?
You have said that all the heavens Sing for joy at one who finds The way to freedom, truth of Jesus Bought from death into His life
And I remember how You saw me: Through the eyes of Your grace And though the cost was Your beloved for me Still you made a way!
I just got to know this Australia gospel singer today and his name is Trent Williams. Hmm, don't really know much about him. Only know that he is a musician cum gospel singer. Well, I can only say that his voice is pretty nice and he is a very skillful musician.
I sing a love song to You Lord Every day, every night Tell of Your goodness and mercy Tell the world how You rescued me Picked me up, from sin and shame Your breath gives me new life
Where can I go from Your presence Under Your wings I take refuge Your Spirit lives within my heart I know, we’ll never be apart
Everyday, I draw closer to You Lord I long to see Your face And hide in Your embrace All my life, dwelling in Your holy place My heart O Lord You’ve changed I’ll never be the same
