rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am Yours

Finally, it rained again. From my eyes, I mean. This week has been such a week, I was wondering how I could go through without tearing a single drop.
It feels good, but at the same time, I can’t explain the feeling. It’s utter despair, and at the same time, the knowledge that the Lord is with me. I asked myself, “Laura why are you crying?” And I concluded that I had been touched by the love of God.
I shall not attempt to describe today’s events here. It is impossible to do so here. *runs to private blog*. But that’s not what I want to share. I am here to share about my worship today, which was absolutely AMAZING.
We have overcome
Thanks be to God
Who always causes us to triumph in His name
Thanks be to God
Who always causes us to win, yeah
Thanks be to God
Who always causes us to triumph in His name
Thanks be to God
Thanks be to God
We have overcome
Hallelujah, hallelujah
We have overcome
By the power of your name
Jesus you’re the one
Hallelujah, hallelujah
The one who made a way
For us to triumph in His name
Oh, oh, Oh, oh
We got the victory
Everything will be alright, alright
We got the victory
Everything will be alright
‘Cause we’re on the wining side
How could I live without you
How could I live without You
How could I survive
Without Your love
Without Your touch
You’re the One that heals me
And cleanses my heart
And sets me free
Now i come right before You
With my hands lifted up
With my heart humbly bowed
At Your work on the cross
As You hang there and die
You were paying the price
For my life, For my life
For Your love is higher than the heavens
Deeper than the seas
And all I want is You in my life
No one else can satisfy my soul
Can make me feel this way
Only You Lord, only You
Here in my life
I have never walked on water
Felt the waves beneath my feet but
At your Word Lord, I’ll receive Your
Faith to walk on oceans deep
And I remember how You found me:
In that very same place
All my failing surely would've drowned me
But You made a way
You are my freedom
Jesus you’re the reason
I’m kneeling again at Your throne
Where would I be without You
Here in my life, here in my life?
You have said that all the heavens
Sing for joy at one who finds
The way to freedom, truth of Jesus
Bought from death into His life
And I remember how You saw me:
Through the eyes of Your grace
And though the cost was Your beloved for me
Still you made a way!
I want to let Jesus love me
I want to let Jesus love me
Put His arms around me
Touch my arms so I can see
That I am beautiful
I want to let Jesus love me
Put His arms around me
Lift me high so I can see
The beauty of the Lord
Faithful God
I serve a God who is faithful,
and He will never fail
When i’m in the desert
He’s a river of hope
I serve a God who is faithful,
His faithfulness prevails
Lord I Put my trust in You
Chorus:
I serve a God,
who is faithful and true
I will hide, in the shelter of Your wings
For i find my rest in Your faithfulness
Yes i serve a faithful God
Can’t let go
God Your unfailing love
Holds me by the hand
It never lets go of me
No matter how far I’ve ran
God You knew my name
Before I came to be
And you long for me
Just to stay in Your arms
So I want to sing
Ohh
It’s Your love that I’m holding on to
It’s Your face, that I look upon
It’s Your strength, that I can lean on
I won’t let go of You
In my trials, I will praise You
In my fears it’s you I will run to
I will sing of how You have loved me
Lord I can’t let go of You
I could sing of your love forever
Over the mountains and the sea,
Your river runs with love for me,
and I will open up my heart
and let the Healer set me free.
I'm happy to be in the truth,
and I will daily lift my hands:
for I will always sing of when
Your love came down. [Yeah!]
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever. [Repeat]
Oh, I feel like dancing -
it's foolishness I know;
but, when the world has seen the light,
they will dance with joy,
like we're dancing now.
Complete
Here I am, Oh God
I bring this sacrifice--my open heart.
I offer up my life
I look to You, Lord
Your love that never ends
Restores me again
So I lift my eyes to you, Lord
In Your strength will I break through, Lord
Touch me now, let your love fall down on me
And I will be complete in You.
So I lift my eyes to you Lord
And by faith, I will walk on, Lord
Then I'll see beyond my calvary one day,
And I will be complete in You
So I lift my eyes to you Lord
In your strength will I break through Lord
Touch me now, let your love fall down on me
I know your love dispels all my fears.
Through the storm I will hold on Lord
And I pray I will hold on, Lord
Then I'll see beyond my calvary one day
And I will be complete in You
Consuming Fire
There must be more than this,
O breath of God come breathe within,
There must be more than this,
Spirit of God we wait for You.
Fill us anew we pray,
Fill us anew we pray.
Consuming fire fan into flame,
A passion for Your Name,
Spirit of God fall in this place,
Lord have Your way,
Lord have Your way with us,
Come like a rushing wind,
Clothe us with power from on high,
Now set the captives free,
Leave us abandoned to Your praise.
Lord let Your glory fall,
Lord let Your glory fall.
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
A passion for Your Name.
Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the Kingdom
And the power
And the glory forever is Yours
Heaven and earth bow down
In the wonder of Your Name
Heaven is open
Death is broken
And the glory forever is Yours
Nothing can overcome
The power of Your Name
King above kings
All the universe will sing
Everlasting God
You are wonderful
You are wonderful
And the shout of the earth
Will be Your praise
God forever
And the light unto all
Will be Your wonderful Name
For the glory Lord is Yours
God forever
All the glory Lord is Yours

Can’t Let Go
God Your unfailing love
Holds me by the hand
You never let go of me
No matter how far I've ran
God You knew my name
Before I came to be
And You long for me
Just to stay in Your arms
So I want to sing
Ohh
It's Your love I'm holding onto
It's Your face that I look upon
It's Your strength that I can lean on
I won't let go of you
In my trials I will praise you
In my fears it's you I will run to
I will sing of how You have loved me
Lord I can't let go of You
Jesus you gave your life
As ransom for my sins
You willingly paid the price
Of shame and suffering
Now Christ has set me free
I know where I will be
Standing in Your courts
Lifting up my hands
Praising with this song
Ohh
Hossanna
I see the king of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes
Yeeeah
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing
[Chorus]
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest [x2]
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees
[Chorus]
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity
[Chorus x2]
Hosanna in the highest
I know this worship was REALLY LONG, but I enjoyed every moment of it. So much I had to write about it and try to recall the songs I sang. There might have been one or two more though… (: I didn’t plan anything; I just flowed as usual, and each time the Lord placed a new song in my head, songs that spoke to me in new and amazing ways, songs that spoke of different aspects of God. This season has been trying, really trying, but I must admit that I’ve enjoyed spending so much quality time with God, which honestly speaking, during the good times I would probably not be willing to part with at all. I’ve also enjoyed the ministry that I’ve been doing. Talking, praying, knowing that God is with me, empowering me and flowing as the spirit leads. It’s all so amazing. It’s like, saying things you never knew you knew.
When I started worshipping today, I was just so stressed, and I was filled with such… A heart for everyone/everything going on. Basically I felt very burdened. I could feel my heart sink today. Like *plonk*. And as it has been lately, I was reluctant to deal with things. I just hoped to get by and hide and avoid trouble. But I thank God that I did not refuse anyone of ministry. That my spirit was still available to serve, though my flesh was weak, and in the end I still went.
Yeahh my flesh IS weak. But my God is strong(: Really need God’s empowerment tie me through. This is really taxing stuff. Not that I wasn’t prepped before anything actually happened that this was to be year of moulding and trial XD
