Just wanted to share a song that a friend of mine sent me some time back. I joined the prayer cell for the first time this week and I feel really inspired by the enthusiasm in the cell to make God known in NTU. However, I felt rather strange at the same time. For the past 3 weeks all I had been doing was trying to get used to life in uni, so I never really went beyond the kind of thinking that had to do with studies, hostel activities and friends.
The prayer cell was a startling reminder to me of what I had forgotten when I first stepped into NTU. I was trying too hard to get control of the different circumstances in my life so I never really thought about God, apart from a few seconds or minutes of prayer in between tests (haha! for good grades) or studying. I was too caught up with my own circumstances that I forgot about who I am supposed to be in NTU. I forgot that I was the only Christian among my clique of friends and that I am supposed to be that city on a hill, the salt and the light! I really hope to be able to be a positive testimony to those around me so ^ ^ first I must be more constant in my quiet time! haha haven't been really regular... AH okay enough rambling here. hahaha. Here's the song! (:
Learning to Fall by This Beautiful Republic
I've heard it said a million timesYou can hear the song here > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKx_KlUUhPE
That I should hold on tight to Jesus
But I took this road so far from home
And distance came between us
When I walked away, I knew one day
I'd need Your grace
So now You'll find me on my knees
Surrendering
‘Cause I know that I'm really not so strong
And now, I'm done fighting for control
Oh, You can have this life
That I've been holding for so long
I'm learning to fall
Let my world crumble
You ran so fast to rescue me
While I was barely breathing
You picked me up, You touched my face
And I began to see more clearly
Though I'm such a disgrace, You still forgave
Your love remains
Take me as an offering
I surrender everything
No more living without You
God bless! (:
