pretty song..
Father, I know I'm a sinner
I turned my back and ran away from you
I wanted to be my own ruler
But now i know that you're the only God

I want to change
Make me your own
I'd give it up just like you already did
Lord take me back
I can't endure it
How can I survive without you there for me?

Lord I need you
Like I need no other
I give you praise
Thankfully raise my voice
For what you've done,
For what you're doing,
For what you're gonna do


I NEED THE WORDS!!

stoof, stoof and more stoof
you said i know that this will hurt, but if i don't break your heart, then things will just get worse

when the burden seems too much to bear, remember, the end will justify the pain it took to get us there

liz gave me a wwjd band!! :D

and she says there's a church in nara that i might be able to go to.. and there's a guy who speaks english there...

but yeah.. i'll see.. i'd prefer a bigger church.. not so much attention :P but yah.. good..

kinda nervous about leaving.. but really excited.. :D all the fun stuff to do..

gonna post individual messages AFTER i finish doing christmas cards, boy, i'm slack.. look how many i have to do... shoulda started earlier...

BUT i'm gonna keep a diary type thing on my blog and i'll be posting postcards and letters and stuff to lynn and nay.. so u can bug them to see the not-so-private stuff...

yrsh.. heapsa emails/spam.. will try to use spam blog..

*shrugs* no one except nay and dan reads this anyways.. mostly nay..

meh...

i'm in a talkative mood.

i'm still mad-ish.. but i've gotta except the fact that i probably can't change anything at the moment.. i'm leaving it to God.. POWER OF PRAYER!!

love you all...

h&k&atms,

mum

flying free
the chapel choirs sang for the final yr 11/12 chapel. it's pretty..

<><

There is a place I call my own
Where I can stand by the sea,
And look beyond the things I've known ,
And dream that I might be free.
Like the bird above the trees
Gliding gently on the breeze,
I wish that all my life I'd be
Without a care and flying free!

But life is not a distant sky
Without a cloud, without rain.
And I can never hope that I
Can travel on without pain

Time goes swiftly on its way,
All too soon we've lost today.
I cannot wait for skies of blue
Or dream so long that life is through.

So life's a song that I must sing,
A gift of love I must share .
And when I see the joy it brings,
My spirits soar through the air.
Like that bird up in the sky ,
Life has taught me how to fly.
For now I know what I can be
And now my heart is flying free!

some of it is REALLY irrelevant.. but some of it.. well.. yeah..

<>< JC,GS,S

falling in love with my Saviour... :D

"Which To Bury; Us Or The Hatchet"

I think you what I'm getting at
I find it so upsetting that
the memories that you select you keep the bad but the good you just forget

and even though I'm angry I can still say
I know my heart break the day
when you peel out and drive away
I can't believe this happened

And all this time I never thought
that all we had would be all for not

No, I don't hate you
don't want to fight you
know I'll always love you
but right now I just don't like you
know I don't hate you
don't want to fight you
know I'll always love you
but right now I just don't like you
cause you took this too far

Make you decision and don't you dare think twice
go with your instincts along with some bad advice
this didn't turn out the way I thought it would at all
you blame me but some of this is still your fault

I tried to move you, but you just wouldn't budge
I tried to hold your hand but you'd rather hold your grudge
I think you know what I'm getting at
you said goodbye and I just don't want you regretting that

and wisdom always chooses
these black eyes and these bruises
over the heartache that they say
never completely goes away
(I just can't believe this happened
and one day we'll see this come around)

what happened to us
i heard that it's me we should blame
what happened to us
why didn't you stop me from turning out this way
and know that I don't hate you
and know that I don't want to fight you
and know that I'll always love you
but right now I just don't...

too many posts in one day
My Saviour
Redeemer
Lifted me from the miry clay

Almighty
Forever, I will never be the same
Cause You came here
From the everlasting
To the world we live
The Father’s only Son

And You lived
You died
You rose again on high
You opened the way for the world to live again

Hallelujah, for all You’ve done

final chapel service
yr 12 final chapel service gonna be really mushy and heaps of crying

and still haven't learnt words..

<>< Jesus Christ, God's Son, Saviour

Just let me say
How much I love you
Let me speak of your mercy and grace
Just let me live
In the shadow of your beauty
Let me see you face to face and the earth will shake as your word goes forth
And the heavens can tremble and fall but let me say how much
I love you O my savior, my Lord and friend

Just let me hear your finest whispers
As you gently call my name
And let me see Your power and your glory
Let me feel your spirit's flame
Let me find you in the desert
'Til this sand is holy ground
And I am found completely surrendered
To you, my Lord and friend

So let me say how much I love you
With all my heart I long for you
For I am caught in the passion of knowing
This endless love I've found in you
And the depth of grace, the forgiveness found
To be called a child of God
Just makes me say
How much I love you O my savior, my Lord and friend
Just makes me say
How much I love you O my savior, my Lord and friend

<>< JESUS CHRIST!, GOD'S SON, SAVIOUR!!

Lord I come to You
Let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace
That I’ve found in You
Lord I’ve come to know
The weakenesses I see in me
Will be stripped away
By the power of Your love

~ chorus ~
Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side
And as I wait
I’ll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
By the power of Your love

Lord unveil my eyes
Let me see You face to face
The knowledge of Your love
As You live in me
Lord renew my mind
As Your will unfolds in my life
In living every day
By the power of Your love

kiss of heaven
darlene's the coolest.. and she's nice.. and when i grow up i wanna be just like her!!

<>< Jesus Christ, God's Son, Saviour

I'm walking a new walk
I'll never be the same again
Dancing a new dance
In Your Holy Spirit rain
Your breath of life has overwhelmed me
And set my spirit free

I'm living a new life
Underneath Your morning star
Running a new race
In the shadow of Your Love
Your love is immeasurable
Too deep to comprehend

My Jesus, dream maker
My Jesus, life giver
I'm living under the kiss of heaven
And I'll never, ever be the same again

I'm singing a new song
In the presence of the King
Giving You my heart
That is all that I can bring
You lit a fire inside of me
That I thought would never burn again

to God be the glory
see? i knew there was another To God Be The Glory...

************************************************************************************

How can I say thanks for the things you have done for me?
Things so undeserved, yet You gave to prove your love for me.
The voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude.
All that I am and ever hope to be I owe it all to thee.

To God be the glory, to God be the glory,
To God be the glory, for the things He has done.
With His blood He has saved me
With His power He has raised me
To God be the glory, for the things He has done.
Just let me live my life and let it be pleasing Lord to thee
And should I gain any praise let it go to Calvary.
With His blood He has saved me,
With His power He has raised me
To God be the glory for the things He has done.


To God be the glory, to God be the glory,
To God be the glory, for the things He has done.
With His blood He has saved me
With His power He has raised me
To God be the glory, for the things He has done.

hugs & kisses & all that mushy stuff
To God be the glory! great things he hath done!
So loved he the world that he gave us his son,
Who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life-gate that all may go in.

Refrain:
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the father through Jesus the son;
And give him the glory - great things he hath done.

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood!
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Refrain

Great things he hath taught us, great things he hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the son:
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see!

Refrain

i'm gonna sing this for my chapel choir audition.. i like it..

God is BIGGER!!!!
Bob: You were lying in your bed,
You were feeling kind of sleepy,
But you couldn’t close your eyes because the room was getting creepy!

Larry: Were those eyeballs in the closet?
Was that Godzilla™ in the hall?

Bob: There was something big and hairy casting shadows on the wall.
Now your heart is beating like a drum.
Your skin is getting clammy.
There’s a hundred tiny monsters jumping right into your jammies.
Whad’ya gonna do?

Junior: I’m going to call the police!

Bob: No! You don’t need to do anything!

Junior: What? Why?

Bob: Because ...
God is bigger than the boogie-man!
He’s bigger than Godzilla, or the monsters on TV.
Oh, God is bigger than the boogie-man,and He’s watchin’ out for you and me!

Junior: So when I’m lying in my bed, and the furniture starts creeping,
I’ll just laugh and say "Hey, cut that out!"and get back to my sleeping.
‘Cause I know that God’s the biggest and He’s watching all the while.
So when I get scared I’ll think of Him, and close my eyes and smile!

All: God is bigger than the boogie-man!
He’s bigger than Godzilla, or the monsters on TV.
Oh, God is bigger than the boogie-man, and He’s watchin’ out for you and me!

Monster: So are you frightened?
Junior: No, not really.
Monster: Are you worried?
Junior: Not a bit! I know whatever’s gonna happen, that God can handle it!
Frankencelery: I’m sorry that I scared you, when you saw me on TV.
Junior: Well, that’s OK ‘cause now I know that God is taking care of me!

All: God is bigger than the boogie-man!
He’s bigger than Godzilla, or the monsters on TV.
Oh, God is bigger than the boogie-man, and He’s watchin’ out for you and me!
Junior: One more time!

All: God is bigger than the boogie-man!
He’s bigger than Godzilla, or the monsters on TV.
Oh, God is bigger than the boogie-man, and He’s watchin’ out for you and me!
He’s watchin’ out for you and me.
Watchin’, watchin’, watchin’...
Junior: Out for you and me! Yeah!

stand up!!
My Mummy always told me to do what's right;
To wash behind my ears and try to be polite.
She says she loves me so.
(That's beautiful.)
It's like she tells me what I need to know.
(I've got a lot of respect for that woman.)
But sometimes when I'm playing with a buddy or two,
They're doing things you're not supposed to do.
(Do you go along - even though the things they do are wrong?)

I remember stand
(Stand up, stand up)
For what you believe in, believe in,
Believe in God
(He's the one to back you up)
We'll stand with you!

When everybody tells you that you have to be cool,
Remember what you learnt in church and Sunday school.
Just check it out - the Bible tells us what it's all about.
(Oh, you know that's right.)
So if you have a question, go ask your Dad,
And he can tell you if the thing is good or bad.
You'll make they're day,
If you remember what you're parents say
(what they say.)

They told us stand
(Stand up, stand up)
For what you believe in, believe in,
Believe in God
(He's the one to back you up)
We'll stand with you!
Oh, stand
(Stand up, stand up)
For what you believe in, believe in,
Believe in God
(He's the one to back you up)
We'll stand with you!
He'll stand with you, oh yeah.
