Great Recent Speech by the Israeli PM....
Subject: Great Recent Speech by the Israeli PM....
"Ladies and gentlemen, leaders of the world. I, the Prime Ministerof Israel,am speaking to you from Jerusalem in the face ofthe terrible pictures from Kfar Kana.Any human heart,wherever it is, must be sickened and recoil at the sight ofsuch pictures.
"There are no words of comfort that can mitigate the enormityof this tragedy.Still,I am looking you straight in the eye andtelling you that the State of Israel will continue its military
campaign in Lebanon.
"The Israel Defense Forces will continue to attack targetsfrom which missiles and Katyusha rockets are fired at
hospitals,old age homes and kindergartens in Israel.I have instructed the security forces and the IDF tocontinue to hunt for the Katyusha stockpiles and launchsites from which these savages are bombarding theState of Israel.
"We will not hesitate, we will not apologize and we willnot back off. If they continue to launch missiles intoIsrael from Kfar Kana, we will continue to bomb Kfar Kana.
"Today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Here,there
and everywhere.The children of Kfar Kana could now beSleeping peacefully in their homes, unmolested, had theagents of the devil not taken over their land and turnedthe lives of our children into hell.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time you understood: the Jewishstate will no longer be trampled upon. We will no longer allow
anyone to exploit population centers in order to bomb ourcitizens. No one will be able to hide anymore behind womenand children in order to kill our women and children.his anarchy is over.You can condemn us, you can boycott us,you can stop visiting us and, if necessary, we will stopvisiting you.
"A voice for six million citizens.Today I am serving as thevoice of six million bombarded Israeli citizens who serveas the voice of six million murdered Jews who weremelted down to dust and ashes by savages in Europe.In both cases, those responsible for these evil actswere, and are, barbarians devoid of all humanity, who set
themselves one simple goal: to wipe the Jewish peopleoff the face of the earth, as Adolph Hitler said, or towipe the State of Israel off the map, as MahmoudAhmedinjad proclaims.
"And you - just as you did not take those words
seriously then, you are ignoring them again now.And that, ladies and gentlemen,leaders of the
world, will not happen again.
"Never again will we wait for bombs that came to hit thegas chambers. Never again will we wait for salvation thatnever arrives. Now we have our own air force.The Jewish people are now capable of standing upto those who seek their destruction – those people willno longer be able to hide behind women and children.They will no longer be able to evade their responsibility.
"Every place from which a Katyusha is fired into the
State of Israel will be a legitimate target for us toattack.This must be stated clearly and publicly,once and for all. You are welcome to judge us, toostracize us, to boycott us and to vilify us.But to kill us? Absolutely not.
"Four months ago, I was elected by hundreds of thousandsof citizens to the office of Prime Minister of the governmentof Israel, on the basis of my plan for unilaterally withdrawingfrom 90 percent of the areas of Judea and Samaria, thebirth place and cradle of the Jewish people; to end most ofthe occupation and to enable the Palestinian people to turn
over a new leaf and to calm things down until conditionsare ripe for attaining a permanent settlement between us.
"The Prime Minister who preceded me, Ariel Sharon, made
a full withdrawal from the Gaza Strip back to theinternational border, and gave the Palestinians there achance to build a new reality for themselves.
"The Prime Minister who preceded him, Ehud Barak, ended
the lengthy Israeli presence in Lebanon and pulled theIDF back to the international border, leaving the landof the cedars to flourish, develop and establish itsdemocracy and its economy.
"What did the State of Israel get in exchange for all
of this? Did we win even one minute of quiet? Was ourhand, outstretched in peace, met with a handshake ofencouragement?
"Ehud Barak's peace initiative at Camp David let looseon us a wave of suicide bombers who smashed andblew to pieces over 1,000 citizens, men, women andchildren. I don't remember you being so enraged then.
"Maybe that happened because we did not allow TV
close-ups of the dismembered body parts of theIsraeli youngsters at the Dolphinarium? Or of theshattered lives of the people butchered whilecelebrating the Passover seder at the Park Hotelin Netanya? What can you do - that's the way we are.We don't wave body parts at the camera.We grieve quietly.
"We do not dance on the roofs at the sight of the
bodies of our enemy's children - we express genuinesorrow and regret.That is the monstrous behaviorof our enemies. Now they have risen up against us.
"Tomorrow they will rise up against you. You arealready familiar with the murderous taste of thisterror. And you will taste more.
"And Ariel Sharon's withdrawal from Gaza.What did it get us? A barrage of Kassem missilesfired at peaceful settlements and the kidnapping of
soldiers.Then too, I don't recall you reacting with
such alarm.
"And for six years, the withdrawal from Lebanon has
drawn the vituperation and crimes of a dangerous,extremist Iranian agent, who took over an entirecountry in the name of religious fanaticism and istrying to take Israel hostage on his way toJerusalem - and from there to Paris and London.
"An enormous terrorist infrastructure has been
established by Iran on our border, threateningour citizens, growing stronger before our very
eyes, awaiting the moment when the land of the
Ayatollahs becomes a nuclear power in order tobring us to our knees.
"And make no mistake - we won't go down alone.You, the leaders of the free and enlightened world,will go down along with us. So today, here and now,I am putting an end to this parade of hypocrisy.
"I don't recall such a wave of reaction in the face
of the 100 citizens killed every single day in Iraq.Sunnis kill Shiites who kill Sunnis, and all of themkill Americans -and the world remains silent.
"And I am hard pressed to recall a similar reaction
when the Russians destroyed entire villages andburnt down large cities in order to repress therevolt in Chechnya. And when NATO bombed Kosovofor almost three months and crushed the civilianpopulation - then you also kept silent.
"What is it about us, the Jews, the minority, thepersecuted,that arouses this cosmic sense ofjustice in you? What do we have that all theothers don't?
"In a loud clear voice, looking you straight in the
eye, I stand before you openly and I will notapologize. I will not capitulate. I will not whine.This is a battle for our freedom. For our humanity.For the right to lead normal lives within ourrecognized, legitimate borders. It is also your battle.
"I pray and I believe that now you will understand
that. Because if you don't, you may regret it later,when it's too late.

I AM SO DISAPPOINTED.
just ask me, why is that thing there? and i will say. the stuff might be there but i may not be doing it? it just happened to be there, safekeeping for a friend. so ya, i just know where certain relationships stand. what i cannot understand is why people cannot ask me questions straight direct to me but have to beat about the bush. tell me and i will explain, and whether you guys believe it or not it's all your decisions because i know i have done my best.
now that i think back when i received that phone call, no wonder i felt so funny. i really had no idea what was it about.
I AM SO DISAPPOINTED.
2 Timothy 1:3-12 (New International Version)
Encouragement to Be Faithful
3I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. 4Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. 5I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. 6For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.8So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, 9who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. 12That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.

regrets regrets
i have regrets of doing certain things,
i can't help it but i still continue to think.
decisions were made,
but regrets were late.
still i will continue to sing You praise,
even till the moment i pause to thank.
i offer to help,
and i continue to tell.
Reputations tarnished,
Images brought down.
Friends are lost,
People are eventually gone.
Relationships got screwed,
Emotions were fooled.
To You i apologise,
For You i will tesitify.
Depressions come and depressions go,
They have come again and when they will go i do not know.
To You i pray that it will go away,
Even till the day when my soul will rise away.
Take care my friend(s),
You have to stand strong and allow no matters to destruct your plans.
Be strong and courageous...
TIME FOR EVERYTHING - FRANCIS
Ecclesiastes 3 (New International Version)
Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything,and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. 13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.
15 Whatever is has already been,
and what will be has been before;
and God will call the past to account. [a]
16 And I saw something else under the sun:
In the place of judgment—wickedness was there,
in the place of justice—wickedness was there.
17 I thought in my heart,
"God will bring to judgment
both the righteous and the wicked,
for there will be a time for every activity,
a time for every deed."
18 I also thought, "As for men, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. 19 Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath [b] ; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 21 Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal [c] goes down into the earth?"
22 So I saw that there is nothing better for a man than to enjoy his work, because that is his lot. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?
SO, for me basically i need to do what i have to do... what i did was already done. i tried telling myself not to feel so despressed over it but it's very hard to get rid of it - i am still losing sleep over it. cannot get to sleep, ya, that's the reason why. i miss You and i miss you. all the best for all your upcoming thing which you will be involved in for approximately 2 months? all the best!
i broke my promise which i made myself, really so stupid. i feel so stupid after 11.15pm. i pray development do not start again, cause i am afraid of this thing call pain. i'm glad so many are falling in love.... one of my friend's brother's falling in love too... my blessings go out to him!!! God bless U my friend...!
Footprints in the Sand
Footprints in the Sand
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
kaypoh
1 Peter 4:12-19 (New International Version)
Suffering for Being a Christian
12Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. 13But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 14If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. 16However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. 17For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18And,"If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?"[a]
19So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
finally knew the true meaning of what it takes to be sort of a "kaypoh" dating from a few months back. really have been so kaypoh to help but shit happens. I am glad that this passage woke me up, but then, i guess i still fear being a kaypoh...
losing sleep, losing concentration, losing my emotional self...
Thanks Henghan & Dr V. so much for that help. no words can express my thanks.
I have no choice but to enter this in...i was given the Rhema word...
Joshua 1:5-9 (New International Version)
5 No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
6 "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. 7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Christ, being Your son is such an amazing thing to be. To be baptized in Your Holy Spirit is even a great breakthrough. I now only realized how great it is to be Your baptized son. When You - God Almighty spoke to Joshua after Moses died and I read it, it came straight to me as if a new revelation.
So, yesterday, i was unable to meet the all time favourites FKK and HTHT. Yes, to all who wants to know, it's the DVD crap over and over again. And from the voicemails i've received from FKK, he repeatedly made claims that he wants to sue me for the slow processing of the DVDs because SSA wants to sue NP and NP wants to sue him so he claimed he would want to sue me. ok fine, take it that i had never taken Media Law module before. I think it's very likely to press charges against me without the signing of contracts. And the story goes on and on and on.
And this FKK goes to his confidant - HTHT. Apparently, both of them pull the other one in. And i think the reasons given were not valid. Suddenly the role of that someone changes. What a good move by FKKHTHT...
So both that someone and i are going to meet the all time favourites today at FMS office. Sure i will try my best.
New Paper is just a call's away. Whatever it is, i will try my best. I might have done something wrong in the process. But FKK's words used on me and some others were even more powerful. Glad i did not delete the voicemails. Shall clarify with Lai Sim as to whether the word "sue" first came from her. And ya, the idea of expulsion also rose... what great idea... I am just too tired of hearing all these.
For I know this is an obstacle for me to cross, I know...
i'm still up
but i was rather happy i should say. but like i wrote in the previous entry, happy for what...
my head is killing me... stupid fever...

MLTR - Breaking My Heart
I'm on the floor
counting one minute more
Noone to break the silence
Staring into the night
all alone but that's alright
It's the feeling deep inside I don't like
Chorus:
There is no excuse my friend
for breaking my heart
breaking my heart again
This is where our journey ends
Your breaking my heart again
Here in my bed
counting the words you've said
They linger in the shadows
Coming home late at night
drunk again but that's alright
It's the look in your eyes I don't like
Chorus:
There is no excuse my friend
for breaking my heart
breaking my heart again...
hey anyways, for all those who are sick there, remember, health is more impt than anytg else ya... take ur medicine and don't overwork... God Bless...
lthe emotional winds
i still can't get over it. i still can't get over the subject. i tried my best to but it's so damn tough. went to al-ameen, i dragged myself there. i dun know why, but i guess i won't frequent there as much as i used to anymore. not that the place is bad, but it's me. the fault lies in me.
i miss secondary school days so much. the times where i stress myself for the o levels. the times where i waste my time sitting around with my buddies at the clementi ave 2 hawker centre and talking trash. i miss those times. now that i am here in FSV, i just hate it when my buddies are in the army. so little topic to talk about. it's as if there's a generation gap. shit, i should have studied a levels man! FSV suck...
semester's ending soon, i have to remind myself. but there's one more left. the final lap and off i will leave FSV without a heck or do i care about this stupid course!
think this song speaks of how i feel

verses of the day for me
Genesis 12:2-3 (New International Version)
2 "I will make you into a great nation
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you."

6-day wait
28th July 2006 - Friday
Israel was on really good terms with Lebanon. Things were smooth sailing in a sense.
29th July 2006 - Saturday
Israel and Lebanon had talks. Meetings were held. Ministers visit each other. Both parties even exchanged much sms. Israel and Lebanon at that point were still on good terms.
30th July 2006 - Sunday
Israel sorted out its thinking and approached its good friend, US, and tols US that the relationship with Lebanon has out of gratitude, not admiration for political powers. Lebanon officials were kept in the dark, not knowing that talks were exchanged between Israel and US.
31st July 2006 - Monday
Both Israel and Lebanon were still acting normal towards each other. Lebanon still continued to maintain diplomatic and bilateral talks with Israel. But Lebanon started feeling weird as to why Israel reacted to Lebanon in such weird replies and manners.
1st August 2006 - Tuesday
Both countries reamained neutral.
2nd August 2006 - Wednesday
The Prime Minister of Lebanon went over to Holland for some bilateral exchange talks with the government there. Lebanon wanted to drop by Israel and have a chat over a cup of coffee with Israel's Prime Minister but was rejected. Lebanon's PM had no choice but to go back to his homeland. Lebanon's PM felt even stronger that something was amiss. But, Lebanon's PM still believed that Israel would still be the good friend of his country.
3rd August 2006 - Thursday
Lebanon's PM made a courtesy and concern call to Israeli PM. Lebanon's PM was kind of rejected because Israel's PM was too busy to entertain Lebanon's PM. Lebanon's PM felt like shit, thinking what on earth has he done wrong.
4th August 2006 - Friday
Both Israel and Lebanon clarified about the incident which happened the day before. Lebanon's PM felt like shit. So the PM of Lebanon specially arranged a flight to Israel to visit his friend, and so during the talk, he was bombarded by words which strained the bilateral relationship between both countries. Lebanon felt the worst. Lebanon was lost for words. Lebanon's PM left and returned to his country. That night, Lebanon's PM could not sleep.
5th August 2006 - Saturday
Lebanon's PM's personal assistant phoned Israel and clarified everything which happened over the past few days. Israel told Lebanon that it's because it was totally impossible for both countries to ensure the peace and stability at the border. And so, Lebanon's soldiers manning the border suffered much casualties and deaths from Israel Army's continuous fire. Lebanon's PM also found out that this dislike had already started 6 days ago, since 30th July 2006, when Israel talked to US about it.
so what's the moral of the story?
DON'T BE STUPID
Lebanon now feels so stupid, like shit, end of the world, suffers so much, rising death tolls all because Lebanon's PM himself was so stupid to have not realized this early. But i think the Lebanon's PM still loves Israel's PM just as much even till now. But i think Lebanon's PM is really so stupid that he had been kept in the dark for 6 days... sighs
DISCLAIMER
WHATEVER WRITTEN ABOVE IS PURELY FICTIONAL. I HAD NOTHING BETTER TO DO.
hope
Sleep is gone.
Cannot Sleep.
get back to this crappy laptop of mine to key in my continued thoughts...
no matter what, i still hope and pray that the block of ice will miraculously turn into a brick. i don't know how's that going to happen but i hope for the best. and i hope this will turn out to be a surprise.
hope too that for the later part of today, revival will take place.
gonna rest for a few hours. bound to have nice eye bags. a few hrs of sleep is definitely better than none. I pray that i will be charged for the shoots later on.
Hope to have a better day for me ahead.
Sorry...
This Game
Time and again, i told myself not to give up on it as a gamemaster. but eventually now it's all gone - just like how all the blocks stacked up came tumbling down. The blocks covered me - entirely. I had no choice but to withdraw from the game.
I fail as a gamemaster. I really did. One of the reasons why i did is because i did not know the rules of the game well. The rules were simple but i chose to make them complicated. Why - can anyone tell me?
There's always this saying - "When you fall down, stand up on your feet again and continue walking". To me, in this situation, i fell but i guess my injuries are really damn bad. It'll definitely take a long time to continue walking normally again.
And tell me why dear Lord, why have i been hearing the "i'm not worthy"s and "don't waste your time"s all in a row? Did i really hear them or am i dreaming? If i heard them, then they must be so true and clear. If i was dreaming, then why the nightmares? And so, what does the word worthy means? One of the meanings as explained from the dictionary means - admirable. And if the subject is not of admiration to me, then why did i keep serving without complaints? I honestly admit that all were done without complaints but rather from the heart.
Strangely, to care simply means to be concerned to the degree of. And reciprocate means to feel in return. I did not expect any form of the latter when i cared. Though the statements of confessions were of highest value personally, i still stood by the subject by faith, and still not expecting anything else in return.
And by faith i believed so strongly things would be sorted out in time to come. I thought things would turn out good. But never did i expect that things would turn out this way. Still, the memories of 11pm at the exterior location on 4th august 2006 will be glued to my soul. Lord, i was lost, totally totally lost for words and any further explanations. I would say appetite's gone for as long as a month to come. It was like that big big bomb falling on Hiroshima. Even local drinks would not be able to wash away the stains of my soul. And when i thought a can of beer would be able to cleanse the stains, the bloody shop restricted the sale after 12 midnite. I know Lord, You saw my heart and the restriction was planned. I am so thankful to You but You know what? I don't know what do i do next. The answers were never there, never.
My Lord my Lord, where do i go from here? What do i do now? To let go is easier said than done. The pain of this game's failure meant so much to me. It meant so negatively significant. Would this ever be a turning point? I think it'll never be. & Right now, i confess i am a villian/ crook/ hyprocrite/ faker/ loser. i know my weaknesses. But i am willing to change for Your sake? I know You are merciful and you would give me that chance to do so. But i am unsure about the subject.
This game is just like a block of ice - so strong and sturdy. But as time passes, the ice eventually melts and turns to water, where it will gradually evaporate and turn to the vapour of the skies and principalities.
I know it's too late now but i know the short period of memories will still remain, deep into the core of my heart and soul.
Thank You.
Semester's ending real soon, but there's one more left.
Acting
Hillsong - The Time Has Come
You gave Your life Your all for me
And called me Yours forever
Caught in the mercy fallout
I found hope found life
Found all I need
You're all I need
The time has come
To stand for all we believe in
So I for one am gonna
Give my praise to You
Today today it's all or nothing
All they way
The praise goes out to You
Yeah all the praise goes out to You
Today today I live for one thing
To give You praise
In everything I do
Yeah all the praise goes out to You
All we are is Yours
And all we're living for
Is all You are
Is all that You are Lord
tired
so tired.
i'm so worn out.
so worn out.
poly is hell.
it really is.
when all else fails, i remember that "i've done my best"
WHY? WHY? WHY?
we're all but human beings... agree?!
the thought of giving up drifts past slowly bit by bit...
but u know what? I'm not gonna surrender by giving up? nah...surrendering is just simply an excuse. I can't bear to give up...it's painful...it's hurting.
Francis Lim - just shut up and concentrate on your work. focus on your work...not others u idiot..
Francis replies "too difficult ar sir...cannot ar"
Nobody says "so? you gonna continue being like this?"
Francis adds "sometimes when certain things are concerned, it's difficult to give up."
Nobody ends off "then i have nothing to say"
Still Your mercy remains And should I stumble again
I'm caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out
my Lord my Lord, provide me a way out.
teach me Your ways...
allow me to dwell in You than the world
When God Ran, I ran even further away...
Artist: Phillips, Craig & Dean
Title: When God Ran
VERSE(1):
Almighty God, the great I am
Immovable rock, omnipotent, powerful, awesome Lord
Victorious warrior, commanding King of Kings
Mighty conqueror, and the only time – the only time I ever saw Him run
CHORUS:
Was when He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said, “Son do you know I still love you?”
He caught me by surprise when God ran
VERSE(2):
The day I left home I knew I’d broken His heart
And I wondered then if things could ever be the same
Then one night I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road ahead I could see
It was the only time – it was the only time I ever saw Him run
CHORUS:
And then He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said, “Son do you know I still love you?”
He caught me by surprise as He brought me to my knees
When God ran – I saw Him run to me
BRIDGE:
I was so ashamed, all alone and so far away
But now I know He’s been waiting for this day
CHORUS:
I saw Him run to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice I felt His love for me again
He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said, “Son”, He called me Son
He said, “Son do you know I still love you?”
He ran to me and then I ran to Him
When God ran
thoughts
I've been in a state of confusion. life has been hectic with piles of junk from schoolwork. not being able to sleep due to work and revision. not being able to sleep due to thinking of stuff. and ya... This song speak to me about going to run after the desires of the world or the desires of Him. Which should i choose? I suppose i would prefer both but then, it's always about decision making.
Felt weird though... even things seem so faraway. I've always been neglecting of so much things and being so insensitive to so much stuff. These days, i felt i've lost something from within myself.
the circle of confusion will never have an ending.
