come to the east

Firstly, here's the lyrics to a song that i'd better note down before i forget them again...

Who Shall Not Fear

Who shall not fear Your name o King
O Lord of all the earth
For this is Your rightful due
In all the kingdoms of the world
The name of Jesus stands alone
For there is none like You

Who shall not worship You o King...

Who shall not honour You o King...

Lyrics and Music by Rev Joshua Shaam Sudharman
(yay a local Anglican song =)

Recalled this song after seeing it in the COR song book that Debs brought to the cg outing just now...

Anyways, beyond the cool fact that it's a locally-written worship song (although i must say that in terms of it being a song from the context of Asian Christianity, can't spot any particular difference in style between it and any typical Western worship song), more importantly the lyrics acknowledge the absolute sovereignty of the Lord over all the earth, and how our sheer reverence of Him is only rightful in the light of this. Add this to the growing number of songs from long ago that i am slowly becoming reacquainted with, from a fresh and dare i say more Godly perspective, beyond the superficialities like enjoying the tune and stuff like that...

Well, so today was cg outing, though maybe not so much so for yours truly since it was at my house (East!). I just want to thank God for the various stuff that took place, from His provision of good weather, to the safe journeys of everybody here and back, to the heartfelt time of sharing and prayer beforehand with some of us, for the good food (though my mother insists on using ingredients that i don't really care for in the food like carrots, celery, capsicum and bananas - ah well, i shall sacrifice my fussy food preferences for the sake of the greater good...), for the great fellowship and much more...

Fell a little embarassed that Daniel and Ryan (hmm reminds me of Dan Ryan's Chicago Grill...) helped out with the dishes when i myself have not washed a dish with detergent (mess tins and utensils in the army aside) since like primary school... I vaguely recall actually enjoying washing the dishes back then, wonder what happened since... Anyway thanks guys =)

Shucks, realise that we forgot to take any photos...

Hope this opens the doors to more opportunities to meet in the east =)

Later in the night went to cartel at siglap to eat with extended family for what was supposed to be at least in part a birthday celebration (yup i haven't had the time to really bother with it up till now...). I didn't really eat too much but felt it necessary to walk back from there home cos i need the exercise, and have not much time for much more than that, at least for now...

sep stuff is driving me batty...

I ought to rid my wallet of all the unneeded ringgit that is a remnant from AnnTIC, after all the next time i do go over there i won't have a chance to use it anyway...
