Last Sunday of 2009

For almost two months, Hone and I attends the Sunday service in PUP. This is one of the songs that moved me today.



Sis. Edith Mendoza gave the Word of God. Her text is taken from Ezekiel 39:28-29. She entitled her topic, "Then, they will know that I am the Lord."

She said that:
2007 was the Year of Breakthrough
2008 was the Year of Overflow
2009 was the Year of Open-heaven
and 2010 will be the Year of God, the Great I am.

In 2010, she said that God will reveal himself to His people. That he will no longer hide His face. That God will do things in His peoples' lives according to HIS will. Everything bound to happen will be what God want to happen.

Year 2010 will not be about blessings, not about miracles, not about everything we want or need in life- like a new car, a new house, not about how much money we have in the bank. Year 2010 will center on God. It's HIS Year, and all HIS purpose will prevail.

Then, I have nothing to do, but just to surrender everything He wants to happen in every aspect of my life.

Weird, but even before I heard the preaching, I feel nothing about 2010. Usually, weeks before Christmas, I have set plans for the upcoming Year, but this time... I didn't felt the urge of planning things for myself. Until, I heard the preaching and understood why I felt that way... It's because 2010 is not about me, it's about HIM.

Then, how do I benefit if it is HIS year?

Answer. He will show how majestic, powerful, and how great HE is beyond what we can imagine.

He is the Lord, Jehovah, the Great I am.

***
Lord,

Here's my life, it's Yours.
Do to me, whatever You want
and whatever pleases You.

All for love---- (How many times have I broken YOUR heart?)

Friends

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong.

"In My Life" by: The Beatles

There are places I remember all my life
Though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
Of lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I loved them all

And with all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

And I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I loved you more

And I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I loved you more

In my life I loved you more

You Are the One

Artist: Lincoln Brewster
Album: Amazed
Title: You Are the One

You're the One Who made the heavens
You're the One Who shaped the earth
You're the One Who formed my heart
Long before my birth
I believe You'll always lead me
All my days have been ordained
All Your thoughts toward me are holy
Full of love and grace

You are the One You are holy
You are the One You are worthy
You are the One You are the One everlasting
You are the One

You are the One I will worship
You are the One I will serve all my days
You are the One You are the one everlasting

You are the One
Jesus You're the One

When I Speak Your Name

When I Speak Your Name
written by:Elizabeth Clark

VERSE 1
Jesus, the most beautiful name of all names
Jesus, the only name that brings healing and strength
When I speak Your Name, mountains move, chains are loosed
When I speak Your Name, darkness flees, it has no hold on me

You’re the exalt- ed One
Jesus, You have the power alone
You lift the lone- ly one, Je- sus

VERSE 2
Jesus, the most wonderful name of all names
Jesus, the only name that brings freedom and hope
When I speak Your Name, mountains move, chains are loosed
When I speak Your Name, darkness flees, it has no hold on me

(1st ending)
You lift the lone- ly one
(Repeat Chorus)

(2nd ending)
You lift the lone- ly one, Je- sus

CHORUS 2
Be exalted, be exalted, be exalted higher and higher
Be exalted, be exalted, be exalted higher and higher
Be exalted, be exalted, be exalted higher and higher
Be exalted, be exalted, be exalted higher and higher

Only reminds me of you

I heard this song several times. It seems that I know it, but I actually don't. Today, I heard it again... and it stiked my heart once more... even without any relation in my life. Here's the lyrics.

I see you, beside me
It's only a dream
A vision of what used to be
The laughter, the sorrow
Pictures in time
Fading to memory
How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let you know

[chorus]

I try to run from your side
But each place
I hideIt only reminds me of you
When I turn out all the lightsEven the night
It only reminds me of you
I needed my freedom
This what I've thought
But I was a fool to believe
My heart lied while you cried
Rivers of tears
But I was too blind to see
Everything we've been through before
Now it means so much more

[repeat chorus]

Only youSo come back to me
I'm down on my knees
Boy can't you see
How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let you know

[repeat chorus 2x]
