|  Take My Life by Third Day How many times
have I turned away
The number is the same as the sand on the shore
But every time You've taken me back
And now I pray You do it once more.
Chorus:
Please take from me my life
When I don't have the strength
to give it away to You Jesus
How many times
have I turned away
The number is the same as the stars in the sky
But every time You've taken me back
And now I pray You do it tonight.
Repeat chorus
once again.. i'm at the place again. the place where i'm faced with myself. i am frustrated with myself. i am a sinful girl that keeps living for herself and turning away from God. i keep relying on my own strength to get back right with God.. when it's hopeless to rely on my own strength. repentence.. sanctifcation.. are these only granted by Jesus? sigh, all i know is.. i need to stop achieving it myself, but let what Jesus has done on the cross reign in my life. i need grace.

| This is my new favorite taiwanese song 
I first heard it from the Children's Christian Summer Camp in Taiwan. So when I first heard it, it was sung in Taiwanese in a university room full of kids around the age of 8-15.. singing passionately right after this hour long sermon by this korean man. When they were singing it, I, of course has no idea what they were saying, but by the waythe kids responded to it, I could tell this song very powerful. This song talks about the price Jesus has to pay and the liberating results because of it.
Here are the English Translation:
Thank you Lord, You died for me. With love, You gave your life for me. Brought me from darkness into a world of light,
Opened my eyes to see. Praise you lord, Your love for me. Your blood of grace flows over me. Your tender mercy pours down from Calvary. Your love has set me so free. (Chorus) The precious Cross, by it's pow'r I am set free.
With my all, I worship at Your feet. Your saving grace, so secure in this promise of old. It's your love unchanging for me. Why I like this song:1. It reminds me to remember what is most important in this world. That Jesus died for me. It makes me ask myself if I really understand the gravity of that statement. Do I understand why Jesus had to die? Do I understand the gravity of my sinful being and what I truly deserve? Do I really feel it in my heart the love that Jesus did for me?... " Thank you Lord, You died for me... Praise you Lord, You love for me. Your blood of grace flows over me." It brings perspective into my life. I must remember the cross and the consequences it has on my life. 2. It reminds me that I am free because of what Jesus has done. I realized I am a very fearful person that often longs and wants security from people/things. But I am not a slave to fear.. but that I am adopted as God's child and given a new spirit and a slave to righteous. (Romans 8:15-16) I have the power to say no and fight agaisnt the the lies that Satan whispers in my head about my insecurities and such.. I am aimed to please my Father who adopted me back. "Brought me from darkness into a world of light, Opened my eyes to see... The precious Cross, by it's pow'r I am set free."3. Aside from me, it allows me to see God being worshiped from another person's lip, another culture, and another life. It's in Taiwanese.. and I think of the two little boys in front of me who sat in front of me from the conference. It makes me happy to see the same God being worshiped so personally yet so genuinely through another culture that is so different from mine. This song is a blessing to me. I can even play it on the piano! yay!! I hope this song can encourage you too or that you can find another song that directs you to our savior  | | |
| Thy Mercy, My God
By John Stocker
1. Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song,
The joy of my heart. and the boast of my tongue;
Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last,
Hath won my affections, and bound my soul fast.
2. Without Thy sweet mercy I could not live here;
Sin would reduce me to utter despair;
But, through Thy free goodness, my spirits revive,
And He that first made me still keeps me alive.
3. Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart,
Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart;
Dissolved by Thy goodness, I fall to the ground,
And weep to the praise of the mercy I’ve found.
4. Great Father of mercies, Thy goodness I own,
And the covenant love of Thy crucified Son;
All praise to the Spirit, Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy, and pardon, and righteousness mine.
All praise to the Spirit, Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy, and pardon, and righteousness mine.

| God is good to me even when i doubt it. God is holding my life together even when i feel disobedient, a bad child, confused and lost. God will still be my God even when i put idols in my heart. He forgives..
sigh. I could only say these things afterwards. During the time, it's hard for me to see that God is good. But now that I know and I have learned, thank you, God.
i want to learn to trust more.
to trust people.. but more importantly, to trust God.

| it's scary to think and feel..
that maybe God is near.. and then realize.....
that maybe He isn't.  | | |
