Sermon on Luke 10:38-42

Pure cringe at its finest. Ger, Fue, and I were 11-12 years old. Our first song ever ahahahha. Oh my goodness the cringe level. Wayy back in 2010.

Lyrics - 

[intro]
If I told you to be my girl, if I told you to be my world,
If I told you to hold me down, would you come around, can you be my lover?

[C]
If I told you that I love you, would you love me back?
If I told you that I miss you, would you miss me back?
Every time when I talk to you, my heart beats so fast
Feelin' everything that you do, what if I told you?

[Ger] 
Damn talking to you girl makes me feel so great
This guy's tryna fool you, man he sounds so gay
So I guess I'll sit down and pray for the best thing that I wish for
I know that he can't treat you any good
So imma be the best guy that you can get
if I could what if I told you I'm wanting you
in my arms, I won't be the one who would want to harm
I'll put my trust in you, I want you to be the one this is dedicated to
So we continue to communicate about what this is all about
So please be real, now I'm asking something like 
if I died would you follow me to rest in peace?
Every time I'm away from you my chest feels like I lost a piece
And I hope you take my words and try to understand
Let me take a chance if you were mine
I'll be your angel, so what if I told you I'm wanting you?

[Fue]
If I told you that I loved you, what would you say? 
We can be like Burger King, have it your way
Come with me, we can fly away, 
I promise I will never betray
Baby girl we make the perfect circle
Then we can be the staring couple
The pieces are coming together,
And I don't really wanna talk neither
But hurry up and answer me, 'cause I don't wanna leave
It's like a nightmare, girl you taking my air, sitting in despair
???? the dream come true ???? wait for the cue
We can sing the blues like a pair of two's
You say it ain't gonna work for us
But the truth is that we form an A+
Show me ?? of love, then we can see what we getting from above (??)

[Fiya Bars]
It's hard to see you with guys who can't treat you right
I promise I won't be the reason that you cry at night
'Cause I'm not the type of guy that wants to fuss and fight
Like them past fellas who said that they were your type
Even though I'm not psychic, I can see me with you
I'm talking about the future baby, I'm going to keep it true
This ain't fun and games, I'm not gonna hurt you
I promise this would all work out only if I told you

*MASSIVE CRINGE WARNING* DanGer - If I Told You feat. Finatic & JrV prod. by KrazieK

Upcoming project. Kudos to Mark Vang the greatest producer of all time. 

LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT MY SINGING  AHHAHA

Fiya Bars:
I know that faith can move mountains, but Lord could you move this valley?
'Cause when I'm down here, I'm exposed to all the doubts that come at me
And I know that You are with every step of the way
But if I'm honest, I don't feel you close at all, I'm feeling empty when I pray
It's difficult to find the strength to keep going, but You're giving me grace
My eyelids - they feel like weights; I can't lift my eyes, can't see Your face
I remember when You felt close, bring me to those better days
Lord, You are all I want, please lead me out of this place
So help me to lean on You, help me to love Your truth
Keep the lies out of my head and change my heart and make it renewed
You're making me new, You're pulling me through, my past is the proof
That's what You do, You're faithful like glue, You never let me go, 
When I stumble Lord, You are my hope, You are my refuge
You're always right, and You never left. I plan my way, but You place the steps
You are nearer than my very breath. Your presence is my confidence
You're before, behind, beneath, above, within, and all around
God, I am never alone, no matter how high or low the ground!

Hills And Valleys Remix (Rough Snippet)

[v1]
Father God in Heaven, can you hear me? 
it's been awhile, and my faith is getting weak and weary
I'm trying to smile, but this emptiness inside is killing me
And it's killing me that no one knows the real me, including me
I don't even know, when this all went downhill
I forgot what it was like to rest in You and be still
I've been trapped in my anxiety and depression for so long
I'm struggling to believe that it's to You whom I belong
'Cause I've lived like this world, entangled in my desires
Thought I'd never get scarred or burned playing with some fire
I forgot about Your word, and my visions getting blurred
Now my life looks no different from someone who's never heard of You
The whispers grow louder, ringing in my mind
"How can you call yourself a Christian after all this time?
You're delusional to even think He wants you, You're practically mine
Don't ask, seek, or knock 'cause You will never find
A way out, it's too late, you're too far from grace
In fact, you were never even saved in the first place
You've messed up too much, He's left you to die
You have no hope, you're worthless, end it tonight"

[c]
You can always come home
I have made you my own
You've been purchased by my blood
My grace is always enough, I promise
I have never left you, I will never leave you
I have always loved you, if only you knew
I have never left you, I will never leave you
I will always love you, I'm making you new

[v2]
God it's so hard to trust in what You say,
I'm struggling so hard to even bring myself to pray
How dare I call You "Lord" living the way I do?
Claiming Christ with my mouth but in my heart rejecting You
I live this double life, and I hate it, yet at the same time I crave it
I can't stand it, but I want it God, maybe I'm just too far for saving
My heart - it's so evil and wicked - I can't take this
I'd rather die than let it consume me alive, God I don't think that I can make it
'Cause I'm dying, God I'm dying, can You hear me reaching out to You?
Or have I just fallen so far that my prayers are silent and mute?
I mean, I wouldn't blame You, I deserve it, I'm so worthless
And these voices won't relent saying, "is your life at all even worth it?
You've used the grace He gave you and trampled it on ground
It doesn't matter how hard you're seeking repentance, because you'll never turn around
You're weak and absolutely powerless, and you're alone
Can't tell anyone about it 'cause they could become like you if they know
Just save yourself the trouble, just give up the fight
Morning will never come, He's left you in the night
You're forgotten, He'll never take you in. Your life's as good as dead."
Oh Lord, My God and Savior, get these voices out my head

[v3]
Precious child, how I love you, I'm always thinking of you
Please heed these words and listen to my voice; so here's the truth:
There's nothing you can do to make me love you more or less
My son has paid the price in full, nothing else can express
Just how far I'm willing to go to save you from your mess
Yet you give me pieces you try to put together instead of your real brokenness
I just want you - the real you, with no masks
I see right through them all, I know your heart, all I ask
Is to stop running, turn to me - I have wide open arms
You can see them on the cross, stretched out for you all the scars,
All your shame, and your sin, and your pain, He put on, 
So you could come before my throne pure and spotless like my Son!
The work that I began in you, I'll see it through to the end 
I chose you before the universe - I loved you even then
And I'll never leave you nor forsake you even at your worst
I'm the source of joy, peace, and hope - I care about your hurt
Cast your burdens onto me, you'll never grow weary or faint
This life I want to walk with you, stop trying to be the greatest saint
I'll create in you a clean heart, a new spirit, just trust in me
Beloved child, please, lift your head, can't you see?

Prayer demo (Live, rough)

By request of my sisters..

The last time I sang this was at my grandma's funeral. Thankful for the translators. This was recorded in the stairwell of my floor. 

[V1]
On that day, when I see all that You have for me
When I see You face to face, there surrounded by Your grace
All my fears, swept away in the light of Your embrace
Where Your love is all I need, and forever I am free

[PC1]
Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven rise to You alone

[C]
No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering, You hold me now, You hold me now
No darkness, no sick or lame
No hiding, You hold me now, You hold me now

[V2]
Txug hnub ntawd kuv yuav pum, txhua yaam Koj tau tseg rua kuv
Thaum kuv nyob ntawd Koj ib sab, Koj txuj kev hlub ci ntsa ab
Thaum Koj nyob ze ntawd kuv, kuv yuav tsis muaj txuj kev ntshai
Koj txuj kev hlub yog txhua yam, kws paab kuv dlim moog ib txhis 

[PC2]
Koj lub teb chaws yog nyaj kub
Thaum kuv nyob nrug Koj kuv pum
Ca cov nkauj peb hu sau ntuj qhuas Koj ib leeg

[C]
Kev quaj ntsuag, kev mob kev nkeeg
Yuav tsis muaj, Koj puag kuv rua Koj lub xubndlag
Kev tsaus ntuj, kev phem kev qas
Yuav tsis muaj, Koj puag kuv rua Koj lub xubndlag

[B]
For eternity, all my heart will give
All the glory to Your name
Taag ib txhab, ib txhis, kuv lub sab yuav muab
Taagnrho Tshwjchim rua tug Tswv

You Hold Me Now Eng/Hmong (Rough cover)

I don't even remember how I stumbled upon this song again recently. Although I've known it, I never took the time to listen to its lyrics. Normally I harden myself off to the Christian-cliche-radio-type music. But this song struck a chord in me, and I'm reminded often times the simple truths are the most profound. "I know that I've let You down, but You love me the same." 

[V1]
Waiting for the sunrise
Waiting for the day
Waiting for a sign
That I'm where you want me to be
You know my heart is heavy
And the hurt is deep
But when I feel like giving up
You're reminding me

[PC]
That we all fall down sometimes
But when I hit the ground

[C]
You lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I'm letting go
You lift me up when I can't see
Your heart is all that I need
Your love carries me so I'm letting go

[V2]
I know I'm not perfect
I know I make mistakes
I know that I have let you down
But you love me the same
And when I'm surrounded
When I lose my way
When I'm crying out and falling down
You are here to

[B]
I can see the dawn is breaking
I am feeling overtaken with your love
With your love
I don't know what I can offer
In this moment I surrender to your love
To your love

02.02.2020 - Ask, Seek, Knock (Matthew 7:7-11)

😅 looooooool.

V1: 
I never thought that I could feel this way
Can't string the words, don't know what to say
Yet I can sense that you understand
Maybe it's in the way that I hold your hand
Or maybe it's in my eyes, the words I can't find
I'm yours

Pre-Chorus:
I wrote this little song, but will you sing along?
Our hearts are in tune, you get me and I get you

Chorus:
Follow me, as He leads us
We both know what's like to jump in and rush, looking for love
Take my hand, we'll walk this slow
What we have isn't like anything we've ever known
This must be what it's like [what it means] to trust
Love found us

V2:
I can't explain it, I simply just knew
I don't have to try when it comes to you
I know the words you don't know how to speak
It's in the way you smile when you look at me
I'll say what's on our minds, let's not waste time
Please be mine

Bridge:
I know that I could mess this up
So I'm asking the Lord above
to keep me so I can keep you
to lead me so I can lead you
I'll say the words, won't you be mine?

Love Found Us - 04/18 Version

For my Matsaya

V1:
I never thought that I could feel this way
Can't string the words I don't know what to say
Yet I can sense that you understand
Maybe it's in the way that I hold your hand
Or maybe it's in my eyes, the words I can't find
I'm yours.

PC:
I wrote this little silly song
But will you sing along?
Our hearts are in tune,
You get me, and I get you

C:
Follow me, as He leads us
We both know what it's like to jump in and rush, looking for love
Take my hand, and we'll walk this slow
What we have isn't like anything we've ever known
This must be what it's like to trust
Love found us

V2:
I can't explain it, I simply just knew
I don't have to try when it comes to you
I know the words you don't know how to speak
It's in the way you smile when you look at me
I'll say what's on our minds, let's not waste time
Please be mine

Bridge:
I know that I could mess this up
So I'm asking the Lord above
To keep me so I can keep you
To lead me so I can lead you
I'll say the words: won't you be mine?

Love Found Us

Took me three years to finish this song. lol.

V1:
I just want to be close, want You to be who I love the most
Want the cross to be my only boast, want my heart to be after the Lord of Hosts like David
But like David, I've fallen for my Batheshebas
My lust peering through Windows and Macs, my heart is so evil it could use either
But I want neither, I wanna be nearer, I just wanna hear You, so open up my ears and,
Take away my fears and let me walk deeper, make me more like You until the day that I meet You
Face to face, every day You just keep pouring out more grace
When I'm falling, You catch me, You lift me up with Your embrace, Your love for me eternally can never be erased
Nothing can replace You, the Way and Life and Truth, nothing can compare to knowing You
So rid me of everything that's hindering my walk; Don't let me be another Christian that just talks the talk
Clean from within, turn me from sins, my weight (wait) is on You
'Cause You've got me, You spot me, I've gotta hit the gym
Like I gotta work out my salvation but You're working from within
You're the only One that satisfies, You're the only One who makes the dead come alive
Everything and anything I need is found in You, what does this life mean if it's not for You?
It's all for You, I offer You all of me entirely, not walking close to You is tiring
Keep refining me, I want You to be the only One I'm desiring

C:
You pull me in with Your gentle touch
Every morning, You have new mercies 'cause You're love
Without You Lord, I am nothing
I need more of You, I ask for one thing
I just want to be, want to close
Draw me close, draw me close to You, close to You
I just want to be, want to close
Draw me close, draw me close to You, close to You

V2:
I know that I was made for You, I know exactly what I was made to do
And unless I live in the light of Your truth, I start falling apart, I come unglued
My sin is a sickness, a poison, an infection, infecting, defecting, reflecting the flesh and I know that You died to it and resurrected, You saved me and yet I still try to protect it
I'm wretched. I know how easily I can stray, I know You hear me I need You today
This hour, this moment don't let it go to waste 'cause I know how fast that my heart can change
Rid me of all of my empty praise. Teach me in my weakness to seek and pray
Fill me with Your Spirit that I may find my joy in You alone as I trust and obey
How much of my restlessness is because of my own wretchedness?
Most of which, could've been prevented if I was repentant instead of defending it
I play it dumb, I get so numb and it's back to where I started
I'm asking you pierce through the darkness of this carcass, soften my heart's hardness
Lord I want to want You more, don't let me live like I'm not reborn
Don't let me settle for lukewarm, I want to be transformed, I want to be conformed
Not to the norm but to the One I'm living for, while I am not who I ought to be
I am not who I was before, I am not anything else but Yours.

Close (Original)

A slice of my life; not for fame or my name. A way to get my thoughts out, journal, track my music progress, and to praise Him. I hope my music glorifies God.
