Who Was Seo Seo-pyeong?
Seo Seo-pyeong was originally German, born as Elisabeth Johanna Shepping (1880–1934). She lived with her mother without a father, but when her mother left alone for America, Shepping was raised by her maternal grandmother. At the age of twelve, she traveled to America to be reunited with her long-missed mother. Having lived in extreme poverty, Shepping understood well the hearts of the poor. This background became the foundation for her life as a nurse dedicated to helping the needy.
While in college, she heard about Jesus from a friend and converted from Catholicism to Christianity. Like Jesus, who lived among the poor and persecuted, Shepping desired to live that kind of life herself. When she came across an announcement recruiting a nurse missionary to be sent to Korea, she decided to embark on the long journey to a poor and desolate land as both a nurse and a missionary. Upon arriving in Korea, she became known as Seo Seo-pyeong...

Lyrics:

I want to tell you about a woman whose life was a living sermon.... 
Her name was Miss Elisabeth J. Shepping...
known in Korea as Seo Seo Pyeong...
This… was her heartbeat.... 
And this… is the song we sing in her memory...

She came with empty hands...
Planting seeds of grace…
In this strange land, she knelt and prayed…
To the broken and forgotten...
She opened her arms wide…

Her pillow was prayer...
Her hunger, a daily truth…
In the midst of pain...
She became the healing…
Through fever and hunger...
Through scorn and loneliness...
She stayed for the saving of one soul…

Not success, but service…
A nurse and a disciple…
A flame of love…
She walked with the cross…
Let me live the same…Lord...
Like her...

She held the hands of the leper...
Wept beside the beggar...
Gave away all she had...
Heaven knew…
The depth and clarity of her love…

Her pillow was prayer...
Her hunger, a daily truth…
In the midst of pain...
She became the healing…
Through fever and hunger...
Through scorn and loneliness...
She stayed for the saving of one soul…

Not success, but service…
A nurse and a disciple…
A flame of love…
She walked with the cross…
Let me live the same…Lord...
Like her...

I have no father, no mother…
Yet I belong to You, Lord…
I am comforted…
I give You all I am…
Let me live with Your heart inside me…

The Bible says in The Gospel of Mark 10:45 … 
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve...
and to give his life as a ransom for many...

On the day her eyes closed...
The city wept…
Beggar, orphan, and child...
All wept together…
Her quiet love had lifted them up…

Her pillow was prayer...
Her hunger, a daily truth…
In the midst of pain...
She became the healing…
Through fever and hunger...
Through scorn and loneliness...
She stayed for the saving of one soul…

Not success, but service…
A nurse and a disciple…
A flame of love…
She walked with the cross…
Let me live the same…Lord...
Like her...

She had no home...
And left behind only...
Half a blanket, two cups of rice,
And seven coins…
Her life itself was the Gospel...
A life poured out as an offering…

Not Success But Service

Lyrics:

Mom, it’s been three weeks now...
Since Heaven called your name...
And though you don’t visit my dreams... 
I know you’re free from pain...
I picture you dancing, in skies full of praise...
In that fragrant place, full of light and grace...

I love you, Mama...
You are my better half...
And when we meet again...
I’ll hold you with all the love you gave...
Not with tears, but with joy...

Your dresses still hang... 
Your shoes by the door...
Even your hats, untouched from before...
And I swear I can hear, your voice so sweet...
Hello, my darling...
In the silence, it repeats...

I love you, Mama...
You are my better half...
And when we meet again...
I’ll hold you with all the love you gave...
Not with tears, but with joy...

When I asked for more time...
I cried out to God...
He heard my plea...
And showed us His love...
Three weeks of mercy...
Three weeks of grace...

Mom came to school with flowers in hand...
Your heels clicking softly...
Your grace in command...
I was proud to say, That’s my Mom...

Elegant, strong, God’s chosen one...
Now I see it clear, what matters the most...
The love from the Cross...
The gift you gave, I cannot repay...

I love you, Mama...
You are my better half...
And when we meet again...
I’ll hold you with all the love you gave...
Not with tears, but with joy...

Tears on her pillow...
Prayers through the night...
She gave me her love...
She gave me her light...
Even in pain, she whispered His name...
Thinking of Jesus, who bore every shame...

I love you, Mama...
You are my better half...
And when we meet again...
I’ll hold you with all the love you gave...
Not with tears, but with joy...

I love you Mama

Lyrics:

Truly, truly, I say to you...
Sound the trumpet...
let the drums resound...
Lift your hands... 

Truly, truly, I say to you...
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit...
He cannot enter the Kingdom of God...

What is born of the flesh is flesh...
What is born of the Spirit is spirit...
Do not be amazed that I said to you...
You must be born again...

The wind blows wherever it wishes...
You hear its sound but cannot tell...
Where it comes from or where it’s going...
So it is with all born of the Spirit...

Truly, truly, I say to you...
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit...
He cannot enter the Kingdom of God...

What is born of the flesh is flesh...
What is born of the Spirit is spirit...
Do not be amazed that I said to you...
You must be born again...

Truly, truly, I say to you...
Rejoice in the Lord always...
Again I will say, rejoice...
Whoever hears My word and believes...
Him who sent Me has eternal life...

Truly, truly, I say to you...
Whoever hears My word and believes...
Him who sent Me has eternal life...
He does not come into judgment...
But has crossed from death to life...

Truly, truly, I say to you...
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit...
He cannot enter the Kingdom of God...

What is born of the flesh is flesh...
What is born of the Spirit is spirit...
Do not be amazed that I said to you...
You must be born again...





Truly, truly, I say to you...
