We had to like wait for 9 songs (ish) and an intermission just to hear Bennett. BUT it was ultimatum worth-it!
He played this song that is sort of like within an opera, and its about how two sisters, (bennett's the younger one HAHA) is supposed to be bargaining with this old man about a price of something. It was REALLY funny!!! At a point the supposedly "older sister" gets scared by the supposedly "old man" and hid behind Bennett!!! AHAHA and somehow bennett (as how he always is) went to the supposedly old man and gave the " What the hell you doing? Don't bully her lah you!" kind of look and action and the whole row of us started laughing really really really hard... then the guy in front of us got irritated HAHAHA... Guess he didn;t understand why we were laughing that hard. :D
Hmmmm, and today I felt really down... Cause I got woken up wit my parent's fighting and shouting. And I got SHAKEN up by my mom and her bad mood and the whole day just got even more rotten per minute. Well, I was crying really hard, and I remembered this verse in the bible:
"When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD" ~(Psalm 27:10,14)
And then I was comforted, and I realised that it wasn't my parents' fault that this happened. I realised that God gave us troubles and hardships to help us get through even Worser hardships I will encounter in the future. And not only that, he does that to make us STRONGER so we would not fall easily when others criticise us. I must say, I FEEL that I am a backslided Christian, and I really want to start anew, but I find myself sometimes hesitating because people will ask "Why didn't you go to church for such a long time?" and I will have to like embarass myself trying to explain to them.. But I think I will ask God to give me the strength, the courage, because
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. ~(Psalm 46:1-3)
I think I will try to persuade myself to go to church next saturday NO MATTER WHAT. I think I want to go back and experience the joy of having Jesus and God in my life again, and feed my hungry soul.
Oh and I found this wonderful song, with even more wonderful lyrics. Its called Revelation Song by Gateway Worship. Its already up on my song widget, i think the 4/5 song. Just keep clicking and you'd hear it, you can't miss it. But here are the lyrics:
Worthy is the,
Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy, is He
Sing a new song, to Him who sits on
Heaven's Mercy Seat
[Repeat 2x]
(Chorus)
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And I will adore You…!
Yeah!
Clothed in rainbows, of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and
Glory and power be
To You the Only Wise King,
Yeah
(Chorus)
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And – I - will - adore You!
Yeah!
Filled with wonder,
Awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your Name
Jesus, Your Name is Power
Breath, and Living Water
Such a marvelous mystery
Yeah...
(Chorus)
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And – I - will - adore You!
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come,
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And – I - will - adore YOU…
(Chorus) (Repeat at a cappella)
Come up lift up His Name
To the King of Kings…
We will adore YOU Lord…
King of heaven and earth
King Jesus, King Jesus
Aleluya, aleluya, aleluya!
Majesty, awestruck Honor
And Power and Strength and Dominion
To You Lord,
To the King, to King
