I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
yesterday we had a guest speak, Gary Weins with us in the svc. he was preaching on the Parable of the Lost Son. and i dun really find his preaching very good... think mayb i was still sleepy at that time... having slept for no more than 5 hours in 2 days... but somehow i felt somewhat "touched" by the msg at the end... is the Holy Spirit i think... so i decided to stay on for the next svc... and i was glad i have stayed. :)
His msg was different from the first one..this time on the aspect of prayer - Parable of the Persistent Widow. yet, the focus of his msg was still the same from the first. that was amazing. his msg was very good.. also i think i was more awake at the same time..:P focussing on the love of God and the Bride... the Bride position the church shld take. he said that many ppl misinterpret that God wans us to pray like the persistent widow but then, he felt that God has used it more as a contrasting element between the nature of God and the unjust judge. the unjust judge who doesnt regard God nor men who will only move when and do something when we pester him and irritate him by the widow's persistence. but God is not like him, God is a passionate God who loves us and in love with us. the position we must get on is an intimate relationship like what Queen Esther to the King... who is a type of the Father... who will give anything to her..even up to half of the kingdom! i simply love the msg.. it is different... it is funny... it is even romantic in a sense... haha.... and it talks about Esther... ;P... hehe... oh yar.. he preaches from the Book of Luke on the Persistent Widow as an intro... main scriptures from Book of Esther and the Songs of Songs. :)
Must get the CD! or u can download it at the church website... (but i think is not up yet... maybe wednesday earliest...) And i must empahsize... BOTH msgs are equally good though i talked only abt the 2nd msg.. :)
