Never Will I Forget :D
Calendar >.<
Life is? :B
Life is never easy while we live in this world,
I am the tame shark that can make you feel happy,
I know that sometimes i am down too,
So i hope that when i am down,
You people out there can cheer me up.
人的一生是那么来匆匆去匆匆，
我们往往为了一些小事而故执而任性，
那么我们一生会浪费多少时间在故执和任性呢。
在我的十八年的人生里，
我曾任自己的任性与故执，
但是请问曾经有人为我想过我的感受
Do It Anyway
People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

`TRUST IN GOD
TRUST IN GOD
Did you have tears, today, to flow?
Was someone with you...to wipe them away?
Just remember! Jesus wept too..and we know,
There was pain in His Heart...that day.
In this life....we all have sorrow....
Be strong and of good courage; God says,
I trust for you....a bright tomorrow,
So...when the tears are gone..give Him Praise!
Do not give up...what-ever you do....
But hold on....to the Lord's Hand...
He will carry you on through..
He will help you to be able to stand.
Trust in God...each moment of the day,
He will be with you..He sees your tears,
Healing...I Pray...will soon come your way,
Trust in Him...Obey...cast off all fears.
Reach out to God; He will comfort you,
Strength and Peace...will be given,
Remain close to Him...be Faithful and true,
Prepare your life...to meet Him in Heaven.
No tears...will ever come again,
When we bid this world our good-bye,
No more trials...and no more pain...
When we meet Jesus...in the sky! Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`THE POWER OF PRAYER
THE POWER OF PRAYER
Do you ever have those kind of days,
When nothing turns out right?
Where you feel like your walking in total darkness,
And you wish so for the light?
Where every single step you take,
Feels like your walking uphill?
And just continuing with your life,
Takes every ounce of will?
Does it sometimes seem your hopes and dreams,
Will never come to be?
And when you stop to look around you,
Pain is all you see?
Do you ever feel like giving up?
Ragged, used or worn?
Have you ever hurt so much,
That you wished you were never born?
Don’t feel so alone for we all have those days,
And there is someone who cares,
You can always reach His listening ear,
With a simple word of prayer.
The power of prayer is very great,
It's stronger than sin, lust or hate.
It can shake the roots of sin itself,
Until it falls apart,
It can humble even the strongest soul,
And can soften the hardest heart.
It brings hope to those who have no hope,
And to those who are oppressed,
It brings comfort to those who are in pain,
And to those who are distressed.
So when you feel your days been long,
Or you weep for some small loss,
Remember the agony that Jesus felt,
As He suffered on the cross.
Remember the crown of thorns on his head,
Remember the spear thrust in His side,
Remember the nails in His hands and feet,
Remember.................for you He suffered and died.
Take a long hard look at all your problems,
And those Jesus had to bare,
You'll find your little problems,
Are nothing to compare,
So when you feel downtrodden,
And you need someone who cares,
Just bow your head, close your eyes,
And experience the power of prayer. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`GOD'S GRACE
GOD'S GRACE I did not know His love before,
The way I know it now.
I could not see my need for Him,
My pride would not allow.
I had it all, without a care,
The "self-sufficient" lie.
My path was smooth, my sea was still,
Not a cloud was in my sky. I thought I knew His love for me,
I thought I'd seen His grace,
I thought I did not need to grow,
I thought I'd found my place.
But then the way grew rough and dark,
The storm clouds quickly rolled;
The waves began to rock my ship,
I found I had no hold. The ship that I had built myself
Was made of foolish pride.
It fell apart and left me bare,
With nowhere else to hide
I had no strength or faith to face
The trials that lay ahead,
And so I simply spoke His name
And bowed my weary head. His loving arms enveloped me,
And then He helped me stand.
He said, "You still must face this storm,
But I will hold your hand."
So through the dark and lonely night
He guided me through pain.
I could not see the light of day
Or when I'd smile again. Yet through the pain and endless tears,
My faith began to grow.
I could not see it at the time,
But my light began to glow.
I saw God's love in a brand new light,
His grace and mercy, too.
For only when all self was gone
Could Jesus' love shine through. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`THROUGH MISTY EYES
THROUGH MISTY EYES
When the beauty life holds,
Becomes blurry with tears,
When God's splendor unfolds,
And becomes marred by those tears.
Remember your Father,
Succumb to His embrace,
Yield your surrender,
To His healing and grace.
When your heart is crying,
And your soul disheartened,
Forlornly hoping,
And needing to be gladdened.
Cry out to your Father,
Rest in His compassion,
Seek the great Comforter,
Lean on His affection.
When the joy of your salvation,
Is stripped from your heart,
In abandoned desolation,
When your soul is torn apart.
To His comforting solace,
Unload and confess,
Look to His tranquil face,
Feel His gentle caress. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`BLESSED STORMS
BLESSED STORMS
During stormy weather
Clouds seem to lose their glow;
Gathering together
They darken Earth below.
The leaden sky explodes;
Rain pelts the ground with force
Threatening to erode
The soil without remorse.
Clouds rumble, roil and moan;
Lights split the sky in two;
Earth's creatures hide and groan
Birds bid the air adieu.
Though dark clouds hide the sun;
Though they are glum and gray -
Without them we're undone
For they send life our way.
They're smiled on by the Son
He formed; sent each of them;
A blessing every one;
A mystery to men.
Bringing much needed rain
Enabling life to grow;
Though storms can cause much pain
We need their blessed flow.
When storm clouds gather close
And life seems dark and bleak;
When foes attack; oppose
Leaving us battered; weak.
Remember that each cloud's
A blessing in disguise -
Sent by God; allowed
To strengthen; make us wise. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

To All Who Love Him
O God of the Universe,
you shed your glory, your majesty,
your omnipotence
to become human, as Jesus Christ--
to get close to us, to connect with us,
to be our role model and guide for living.
O God of the Universe,
you became the human Jesus Christ,
to know us, to feel all we feel,
to show us how much you love us
by taking within yourself all our sins.
O God of the Universe,
you felt not just one person's pain
but the pain of all of us,
to wash us clean and bond with us,
your creation, your children.
O God of the Universe,
you proved your trancendent holy power
by rising from the dead,
a sign that all of us who believe in You
will also rise to be with You eternally.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ
is the "Happy" in "Happy Easter."
Happy Easter to all those who love Him.Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

God in the Seasons
Lord,
In Spring we are reminded
of the magnificence of Your creation,
as the earth is covered in verdant green,
with splendid splashes of color,
and we witness birth everywhere,
of animals bearing their young,
of buds turning into leaves and flowers
and our own moods being reborn
with renewed energy and life.
Lord,
in Summer, we remember
the warmth of Your love for us
and the light of Your goodness.
Both are everywhere for those who look.
Thank You for butterflies,
birds and wildlife for us to enjoy,
water to swim in,
and weather that frees us to romp and play
while outdoor pleasures are at their peak.
Lord,
In Fall, we thank you for Your cooling breezes,
that bring relief from the relentless summer heat.
We see bright colors fading and dying,
leaves turning brown, crisp, disintegrating,
only to be reborn next year,
reminding us that every living thing, including us,
must die in some way before being reborn.
Lord,
In Winter, as white snow blankets the ground,
we are reminded of Your purity and Your perfection.
The complexity and beauty of each single snowflake
only hints at Your transcendent intelligence and creativity.
We hunker down and snuggle in,
knowing this season will wind down
and Spring will reappear, as it always has
because You created an orderly, predictable universe,
not by chance, but from your flawless design.Thank You for the seasons, Lord,
and everything in them
that You created for our enjoyment.Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`NO MORE GAMES
NO MORE GAMES
How many times have I said the sinner’s prayer?
How many times, did I go back in despair?
Back to the fig tree, to hide from my shame,
When I couldn't live up to God's holy name.
He loves me, he loves me not, a cruel game to be sure.
It's a favorite of the enemy for your soul to procure
I played it unwillingly as days turned to years.
Does he love me, or love me not, was a constant fear.
But gently he drew me, with patience and love,
He brought home to my heart; I was born from above.
I found death couldn't hold me, at the place I was in,
For a king paid a ransom,
'What a price for my sin.'
No more cruel games for in grace I do stand,
He will love me forever,
For the proof
Is in his hand's! Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`Good Friday
 Good Friday
Is it not strange, the darkest hour
That ever dawned on sinful earth
Should touch the heart with softer power
For comfort than an angel's mirth?
That to the Cross the mourner's eye should turn
Sooner than where the stars of Christmas burn?
Sooner than where the Easter sun
Shines glorious on yon open grave,
And to and fro the tidings run,
"Who died to heal, is risen to save?"
Sooner than where upon the Saviour's friends
The very Comforter in light and love descends?
Yet so it is: for duly there
The bitter herbs of earth are set,
Till tempered by the Saviour's prayer,
And with the Saviour's life-blood wet,
They turn to sweetness, and drop holy balm,
Soft as imprisoned martyr's deathbed calm.
All turn to sweet--but most of all
That bitterest to the lip of pride,
When hopes presumptuous fade and fall,
Or Friendship scorns us, duly tried,
Or Love, the flower that closes up for fear
When rude and selfish spirits breathe too near.
Then like a long-forgotten strain
Comes sweeping o'er the heart forlorn
What sunshine hours had taught in vain
Of JESUS suffering shame and scorn,
As in all lowly hearts he suffers still,
While we triumphant ride and have the world at will.
His pierced hands in vain would hide
His face from rude reproachful gaze,
His ears are open to abide
The wildest storm the tongue can raise,
He who with one rough word, some early day,
Their idol world and them shall sweep for aye away.
But we by Fancy may assuage
The festering sore by Fancy made,
Down in some lonely hermitage
Like wounded pilgrims safely laid,
Where gentlest breezes whisper souls distressed,
That Love yet lives, and Patience shall find rest.
O! shame beyond the bitterest thought
That evil spirit ever framed,
That sinners know what Jesus wrought,
Yet feel their haughty hearts untamed -
That souls in refuge, holding by the Cross,
Should wince and fret at this world's little loss.
Lord of my heart, by Thy last cry,
Let not Thy blood on earth be spent -
Lo, at Thy feet I fainting lie,
Mine eyes upon Thy wounds are bent,
Upon Thy streaming wounds my weary eyes
Wait like the parched earth on April skies.
Wash me, and dry these bitter tears,
O let my heart no further roam,
'Tis Thine by vows, and hopes, and fears.
Long since--O call Thy wanderer home;
To that dear home, safe in Thy wounded side,
Where only broken hearts their sin and shame may hide. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

An Act Of Worship
I give to You
As an act of my worship,
Thoughts unredeemed
Pains not spoken
Life's little dramas
All the enemy's tokens.
I give to You
As an act of my worship,
Life's little foxes
That spoil the vine
Crafty and sly
As they devour my time.
I give to You
As an act of my worship,
Things I hold on to
That I know I should skirt.
Not profitable to me,
They are all to my hurt.
I give to You
As an act of my worship,
The longing in my heart
For the harmony that You intend,
A total redemption
Of a heart that did bend.
I give to You
As an act of my worship,
Faith in my Savior
That my way He surpasses
And hope for the day
He trades me beauty for ashes. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

ALL I NEED TO KNOW
From Egypt, through the red sea,
And on into the wilderness,
From the crossing of Jordan,
To the promise land fullness.
Lord where am I
From your point of view?
I don't trust my heart
To answer me true.
I know I've been longer
In the wilderness than planned.
Many lessons I learned,
Brought about by your hand.
Hungry and thirsty,
In a dry and empty place,
Taught my heart to cling
To my Savior's grace.
Many dark hours
I thought spent in vain
Brought light unexpected
As I buried my grain.
I really don't know
Exactly where I am,
But I know I left Egypt
By the blood of the lamb. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

Yet so it is: for duly there
The bitter herbs of earth are set,
Till tempered by the Saviour's prayer,
And with the Saviour's life-blood wet,
They turn to sweetness, and drop holy balm,
Soft as imprisoned martyr's deathbed calm.
All turn to sweet--but most of all
That bitterest to the lip of pride,
When hopes presumptuous fade and fall,
Or Friendship scorns us, duly tried,
Or Love, the flower that closes up for fear
When rude and selfish spirits breathe too near.
Then like a long-forgotten strain
Comes sweeping o'er the heart forlorn
What sunshine hours had taught in vain
Of JESUS suffering shame and scorn,
As in all lowly hearts he suffers still,
While we triumphant ride and have the world at will.
His pierced hands in vain would hide
His face from rude reproachful gaze,
His ears are open to abide
The wildest storm the tongue can raise,
He who with one rough word, some early day,
Their idol world and them shall sweep for aye away.
But we by Fancy may assuage
The festering sore by Fancy made,
Down in some lonely hermitage
Like wounded pilgrims safely laid,
Where gentlest breezes whisper souls distressed,
That Love yet lives, and Patience shall find rest.
O! shame beyond the bitterest thought
That evil spirit ever framed,
That sinners know what Jesus wrought,
Yet feel their haughty hearts untamed -
That souls in refuge, holding by the Cross,
Should wince and fret at this world's little loss.
Lord of my heart, by Thy last cry,
Let not Thy blood on earth be spent -
Lo, at Thy feet I fainting lie,
Mine eyes upon Thy wounds are bent,
Upon Thy streaming wounds my weary eyes
Wait like the parched earth on April skies.
Wash me, and dry these bitter tears,
O let my heart no further roam,
'Tis Thine by vows, and hopes, and fears.
Long since--O call Thy wanderer home;
To that dear home, safe in Thy wounded side,
Where only broken hearts their sin and shame may hide. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`An Act Of Worship
An Act Of Worship
I give to You
As an act of my worship,
Thoughts unredeemed
Pains not spoken
Life's little dramas
All the enemy's tokens.
I give to You
As an act of my worship,
Life's little foxes
That spoil the vine
Crafty and sly
As they devour my time.
I give to You
As an act of my worship,
Things I hold on to
That I know I should skirt.
Not profitable to me,
They are all to my hurt.
I give to You
As an act of my worship,
The longing in my heart
For the harmony that You intend,
A total redemption
Of a heart that did bend.
I give to You
As an act of my worship,
Faith in my Savior
That my way He surpasses
And hope for the day
He trades me beauty for ashes. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`ALL I NEED TO KNOW
ALL I NEED TO KNOW
From Egypt, through the red sea,
And on into the wilderness,
From the crossing of Jordan,
To the promise land fullness.
Lord where am I
From your point of view?
I don't trust my heart
To answer me true.
I know I've been longer
In the wilderness than planned.
Many lessons I learned,
Brought about by your hand.
Hungry and thirsty,
In a dry and empty place,
Taught my heart to cling
To my Savior's grace.
Many dark hours
I thought spent in vain
Brought light unexpected
As I buried my grain.
I really don't know
Exactly where I am,
But I know I left Egypt
By the blood of the lamb. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ
