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...
today my computer at work suddenly just died with no reason and no sound.. just *poof*! is off! i checked here and there, changed the power cable..but still cannot... and im in a hurry to use the computer! i press the CPU button again..still cannot... in the end, i just said to myself... ok.. i will just lay hands and pray. and i close my eyes, lay hands and prayed! and i pressed the button again.. and lo & behold! i felt and then hear the engine moving inside the CPU! hallelujah!! i was so thrilled! God is so cool i thought! even the electrical appliance listen to Him! haha... God has smashed my box once again! i was always skeptical when ppl tell me to pray when i told them my computer spoil, etc. to me is like, i know God revives..but not non-living thing..not computer..yes, a human... but no, not a computer! wow! but now i know God is in power of everything! the living and dead AND the non-living.. haha!
and then, i thought it was amazing. i bought sammi cheng's gospel album and im actually evry encouraged by her songs! i thought this is crazy coz it is so un-gospel.. it is so pop and so hip... and it shows that God works thru ways that we cant imagine and we dun expect!
one can always see the worst side of people when they are stressed... even pastors and leaders..after all they are all human... manipulation, nasty words and comments. even if you are really angry, have u ever come to think that watever that was said do affect people? dun u ever think abt such things? i always made sure watever came out from my mouth, even when im angry, is not something that will cause people to bring those negative words into their lives for the rest of their lives.
Words. Nasty words. They have power and they do affect people. In good ways and bad. 10 people can praise but it only takes 1 negative remark to bring people down.
