YAYY!
i finally found this super old Hillsong album called..... *drum roll*
For this Cause.
it was one of my ultimate favourites. but i misplaced it many years ago and i found it this week.
can you picture my huge wide smileeeee??? :P
okay it was one of my favourites because i loved the arrangement of the songs.
the first time i heard the album, the song FAITH got stuck in my head. the beat's so funk and the tune was really catchy, i absolutely loved the part where the instruments took turns for their solo. then i liked DWELL IN YOUR HOUSE because i have a soft spot for songs which begin with the acoustic guitar. but the song that made an impact in my life then, when i was a tooty nerdy secondary school girl cum second-generation Christian who was not very sure why she was really really in church, was BELIEVE.
and now, these songs didn't fail to make a deeper impact in my life.
this week has definitely not been the easiest, it was very very trying in the initial days because i didn't hear any news from Boston. and through this whole episode of my life, i've learnt how to translate my head knowledge to heart knowledge. I've learnt that if God closes the door for me, it has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with my abilities. I've learnt that God is in control and only He can see the Big Picture. I basically, don't even have the authority to question Him on the why's and how's of events in my life.
and when those things became Heart knowledge, i just felt the peace of God in my heart. :)
now, when i say that i know that God will not shortchange me, i really mean what i say.
I can even say it with joy and conviction.
I say on Sunday how much I want revival
But then on Monday, I can’t even find my Bible
Where’s the power
The power of the cross in my life
I’m sick of playing the game of religion
I’m tired of losing my reason for living
Where’s the power
The power of the cross in my life
I’m not content just to walk through my life, giving in
To the lies, Walking in compromises now
We cry out as a generation that was lost
But now is found in the power of the cross
Chorus:
We believe in You
We believe in the power of Your Word that is true
We believe in You
So we lay down our cause
That our cross might be found in You
I’m not satisfied doing it my own way
I’m not satisfied to do church and walk away
I’m not satisfied there’s no love in my life but You
I’m not satisfied living in yesterday’s hour
I’m not satisfied to have the form but not the power
I’m not satisfied, Lord I am crucified in You
(Chorus)
So we lay down our cause
That our cross might be found in You
