First song I wrote! :D
Psalm 73 <3 

Lyrics:

If I could tell you one thing
it's that you are the world to me. 
Why don't you ever slow down? 
Cuz I can't find my way back to you.

Oh everything's falling. My Lord, I feel like I'm breaking. 
I, I can't lift my head up. My Lord, I feel like I'm nothing.

*So I'll say, God, you are my portion forever, 
you go before me and there is no one who loves me like you
And I'll cling to your love forever.

Oh God you are something. 
My heart belongs only to you.
Even if you slow down, 
I'll keep my eyes fixed onto you.

Oh, everything's falling. My Lord, I feel like I'm flying. 
You, you lift my head up. You, you call me precious.

Whom have I in heaven but you? 
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.



Cling To Your Love

[Lyrics]

When I don't know what to do
I don't know what to pray
I don't know what to think
I ask you to stay

This life is such a maze
I'm all in a daze
I can't see your plans for me
I try to trust in your ways

And you say:
My hand is great
My work in you is not yet finished
Take heart and wait
I will increase and you diminish


Cuz I'm a good good God
You've tasted and you've seen
I'm a good good God
I said I'll never leave you

I'm a good good God
You've tasted and you've seen
I'm a good good God

Time slips through my hands like dirty water, and I need you to guide me every hour. Oh every minute of every day, every step of the way, I don't wanna live tomorrow in sorrow cuz you made a way. Lord I know I forget, I know I make my mistakes, but you still take me and you hold me and you make it okay, aye. 
What can I do to serve you? What can I do for you? Lord I need you to increase in me so I melt away, aye.

My hand is great
My work in you is not yet finished
Take heart and wait
I will increase and you diminish


Cuz I'm a good good God
You've tasted and you've seen
I'm a good good God
I said I'll never leave you

Yes you're a good good God
I've tasted and I've seen
You're a good good God

You are enough for me
You are enough for me

Good Good God

[inspired by Burning Hearts conference 2014]

I declare war on passivity
God, grant me this clarity
not to succumb to wasteful, easy days,
but to live and walk in all of your ways

Let the veil fall from my eyes
Let the evil one have no hold over me
Let nothing distract or deter me 
from taking up my cross and following you, daily

I will entrust myself to the One who judges justly
I will not give my affections to another, nor turn my eyes
from beholding you, for where my treasure is, there lies 
my heart also, and this I know:
Jesus you are the only prize

Your word says you will return again, 
a prophecy you have not fulfilled, (not yet)
O God let me remain as you are - true
And upon your Word my whole life I bet

Release the spirit of revelation to this generation!
As we seek your face in prayer and unending praise
Let us arise, hearts fully preoccupied with you
Hands, bodies, souls - heavenward this temple we raise

Let the world make no mistake -
All is His, and this earth He will rightfully take

So lay your crowns at His feet, yes lay them all
Bow your heart and bend your will to His
Feel the boundless joy and freedom from loving His word more than life
Not from no more pain or sorrow,
or from sweet and undisputed prose,
No.

True life begins from knowing and loving 
The Lover of our souls

<3

A New Psalm!

Mostly written in Nepal in summer 2015 <3

---


I wanna give you praise x3

You are my King, my God, the only one I'm serving, 
you, alone, the only one who's worthy
I'll give you praise, give you praise

You are my joy, my hope, my lover and provider, 
you, alone, my God there's no one higher
I'll give you praise, give you praise

Many years ago today, I was lost without a way
But you broke in and you set me free
Now I know your love is true, 
so I give my life to praise you all my days

When my heart is empty, you fill it up with joy
When my feet are tired, you carry me some more
I have a new song to sing, a new way to go

...

When my heart is empty, you fill it up with joy
When my feet are tired, you carry me some more
I have a new song to sing, a new way to go

When my heart is empty, your words they lift me high
When my feet are tired, you hold me oh so tight
I have a new song to sing, a new way to go

When I walk in darkness, your light is my sure guide
Through this life I realise, your promises are mine <3
I have a new song to sing, a new way to go!

For You are my King

....

For You are my King
This is my offering

Give You Praise

Breaking the trend of originals on this soundcloud to post a cover of this song, because... there isn't really a decent recording of this out there T^T I don't even know who wrote this song.

Layered my voice a lot as per a friend's request...

Hope you enjoy my take on my fave sunday school song (:

In Whom I Can Trust [cover]

[lyrics]

What about now?
My does my heart yearn for love?
Why does my soul ache for warmth?
For desire, for pleasure that lasts?

Why do I
turn myself away from you?
Is the road so long and weary?
And can I go the distance?

*These fleeting thoughts
Fleeting convictions
Let me make one more promise
I don't have the strength to keep
But somehow you
You never change
Your words are true
You say, and it is

**You're my one constant 
Through my wavering commitment
You are my constant

What about heaven?
Will I overflow with joy?
Will my eyes only look at you?
Will I be completely yours?

What about now?
O God, grant me the grace
to do your will on earth
as it is in heaven

*
**

All that I can say is
Christ in me
The hope of glory
All that I can pray is 
Christ in me 


You're my one constant
Through my wavering commitment
When I am far and distant
In my life you're ever-present

You are my  constant

Loo Cheng Yi's Album

You are my constant

Jesus my lover
Jesus my saviour
Jesus forever
First in my heart

You give me wisdom
Peace that’s enduring
Love everlasting
Fullness of joy

Beautiful Saviour 
What can I tell you
My words are so empty
My promise so weak
Jesus died for me
Oh, how can it be?
I’ll sing forever 
With you forever 
How wonderful

The pure for the guilty
The king, the unworthy
Devoted and willing
God became flesh

You bore all my sin and shame
You died so I live again
My heart has now opened wide
You’re coming back for your bride

Beautiful Saviour 
What can I give you
My heart is so broken
My life so unclean
Jesus, He loves me
Oh, how can it be?
I’ll sing forever 
With you forever 
How wonderful

Come and dwell in my heart again
Come and make it your home again
Let me love you with all I am
I know you’re holding my hand

Jesus died for me
Oh, how can it be?
I’ll sing forever
With you forever
We’ll be together
Nothing can measure 
How wonderful

Beautiful Saviour

Written and composed when reflecting on the past one year of working life, as well as contemplating the time I do get to rest and recharge. 
One life for Jesus.

Written when on the ferry back from Bintan (:
Happy new year <3

[lyrics]
In this world we can be troubled
There are things we cannot bear
In this life, there are so many ups and downs 
So many storms to knock us out 

Down the road of life I wander 
Stumbling, chasing many dreams
When I stop, I can see where my feet have tread
But I don’t know where to turn ahead 

I don’t know what tomorrow holds
But I know who holds my every, tomorrow 
I don’t know where this life will lead
But I know you’re there, with me till the end 
And you’re faithful like no other 
My saviour my friend 

There are times that I feel weary 
There are times that I feel lost 
When I stop, I can see what my hands have made
But these things are sure to fade away 

And I know that God you’re listening
You see my every scar 
And sometimes, I think why did you choose me
You know I can’t go on too far 

I don’t know what tomorrow holds
But I know who holds my every tomorrow 
I don’t know where this life will lead
But I know you’re there, lighting every step 
And you’re patient like no other 
My saviour my friend

I hear you whisper
Just one more step 
Just reach out and take my hand
There is nothing 
That can harm you 
I am the God who loves you

I don’t know what tomorrow holds
But I know who holds my every tomorrow 
I don’t know where this life will lead
But I know you’re there, blessing every breath 
And you love me like no other 
My saviour my friend

I know you

Lyrics: 

Lord I don’t want to grow old  
It is more than I can bear 
When I see the ones I love
Fade away

Don’t you see how much it hurts
There are no words left to say
When the worn and wrinkled hands
Are trembling 

// Where is the sparkle in your eyes 
When was I cradled in your arms 

Lord I don’t want to grow old 
But I can’t stop the flow of time 
And many years have come and gone
Life goes on 

Don’t you know not long ago 
Singing, laughing was daily so 
But now the silence lingers on
And won’t go 

// Where is the sparkle in your eyes 
When was I cradled in your arms 
Where did your smile and voice get lost
How did I forget who you are 

Oh ~ 

Lord I don’t want to grow old
There is so much life can hold
But you said you’ll always be
Here  

I trust you know how much it hurts
I trust you know just what to do
I trust the road will lead us on 
To you
