Love always hopes and perseveres
Love always trusts and keeps me near
Love never fails, it never fails
Through peaceful calm and raging hell

That is the love You have for me
That is the love I want to bring
If I the world but have not love
I have nothing

Love overcomes and conquers all
Love is greatest of them all
Love never fails, it never fails
To protect me

Love is the One who died for me
Love is the One who set me free
Love never fails, He never fails 
To save me

Love is the One who makes me new
Love is the One I belong to
Love never fails, He never fails 
To find me

Love saved me

Love Never Fails

(Composed Spring 2011)

Kiss me with the kisses of Your Word 
Kiss me with the kisses of Your Word 

I love Your Word
Your law is perfect (x2)

For Your Word is sweet to my taste 
And Your Word is bread for my strength 

I want Your Word to be spoken 
I want Your Word to be opened 
Every stroke to be written on my heart

Kisses Of Your Word

(Composed October 13, 2013 © Melody Hwang)

It seems impossible to keep
Hope alive and be at peace
Amidst the trials and uncertainties
My mind is in a constant war
Will I trust? Will I let go?
Is your love all that I’m living for?

‘Cause this journey gets so hard, sometimes I want to stop
Just fall back in Your arms and let You catch me
And when my heart feels crushed, You take me in Your arms
And in that place, I am at peace

It’s all in Your hands, You have a perfect plan
Though I don’t know what lies down the road
I trust in Your love, I trust in Your power
For You, there is no impossible

All I want is to be free
From the lies and false beliefs
That for too long have been crippling me
Yes, it’s time to face the truth
That there’s nothing I can do
‘Til I completely hide myself in You

Finally I am letting go
Finally I release control
Finally I can fall into Your arms

In Your Hands

(Composed October 6, 2014 © Melody Hwang)

I am a child of the Most High King
He has freed me and adopted me
No longer a slave to fear or shame or who I am
I will step out and dare to dream, to dream!

We are the reformers!
And we believe Him at His Word
We’re the greatest dreamers!
Our eyes will see heaven come
Our eyes will see heaven touch this earth

We dare to believe
We dare to dream greater things
We dare to step out
And see our dream become reality

I am free to live victoriously
Jesus is alive and lives in me
No longer in a prison of impossibilities, I will step out (x2)
‘Cause I have been set free, all things are possible for me
I will step out and dare to dream, to dream!

It’s through our lives
Yeah, with our eyes
We’ll see His kingdom come
As the sons of God, arise and shine
Awaken a new dawn

Reformers

(Composed October 23, 2014 © Melody Hwang)

Do you remember the day we first met?
From a fisherman then to a fisher of men
Now, we dream together and great things expect
How far we have come, my friend

Lay down your striving and lay down your pain
I call you friend; you’re no longer a slave 
My heart is a home, and I give you the keys
Abide in my love and you’ll see~

Oh! There is no greater love, no greater love
Than to lay down one’s life for His friends 
There is no greater love, no greater love
Know that I am with you, to the end …My friend!

And even if you should ever betray me
This bridge I am always willing to mend
Don’t hide your eyes, 'cause I want you to know me
My love I will always extend

I, I call you friend
I've opened my heart to you
And let you in
You can wound me and bruise me too
There is no wall
That I’m not willing to break through
No price too great
This is my body, broken for You			
Broken for you	
Broken for You, broken for You, broken for You!

No Greater Love

(Composed December 13, 2014 © Melody Hwang)

Why do you hide your face from being seen?
Why do you keep your voice from being free?
For your face is lovely, your voice is sweet
You beauty is unique
You carry a tune inside you that only you can release

Why do you quench the fire in your heart?
You are much stronger than you think you are
You hide in your shell, afraid to break out
But darling here’s the truth:
No one could ever be a more perfect, beautiful you

See the winter is gone
Behold, the springtime has come!

Oh, it’s time, spread your wings and fly
It’s time, beauty to arise	
Open your eyes, take the skies
Don’t look back, hit the gas!
Beauty soar, beauty fly, beauty arise!

Beauty arise!

Darling, don't you know that
You’re beautiful!

Beauty Arise

(Composed June 17, 2015)

我生命交給祢
我過去和現在，我的未來
都在祢手中，我完全交托
祢使我得自由，毫無枷鎖
能夠繼續捆綁我

奇妙恩典
祢將一切都更新
祢使我得著豐盛的生命
永遠我要稱頌祢
祢奇妙恩典

祢完全改變我
我是新造的人，在基督裡
舊事已過，都變成新的了
我生命在於祢，靠著祢名
我能夠勝過一切

我要永遠稱頌祢
祢的愛如同火焰
我曾經是瞎眼的
但現在我能看見

奇妙恩典

Lyrics:

Who, who is like You?
How You love me
How You move me

Oh, I feel so loved
‘Cause You know me
Still You love me

My heart overflows
My mouth wants to sing
A new song, a love song
‘Cause Your kindness, it moves me
Your gentleness leads me
To Your heart, into Your arms

And I’m falling into You
Into Your heart, into Your arms
And my heart is so moved
By Your love, by Your touch

You Move Me

Lyrics:

Your sentiment is great
But it doesn't heal my pain
You can say all that you want
But it doesn’t make a change
If you won’t even consider
Lifting just a finger
To clothe the naked, feed the poor
Help the needy, heal their sores

‘Cause Love looks like something
It’s not just words, not just a feeling
Love looks like something
It’s not just wishing, not just believing

Your sympathy is fine
It can surely ease your mind
But my circumstance remains
It won’t change just ‘cause you sigh
No matter how good your intentions
It makes no difference what you say
Without the practical expression
The words you service have no weight

‘Cause Love looks like something
It’s not just words, not just a feeling
Love looks like something
It’s not just wishing, not just believing
Love looks like something
It’s not just words, not just a feeling
Love looks like something
It’s not just wishing, not just believing

Love is choosing to hear the cries
Love is not turning a blind eye
Love is giving up my rights
Love is laying down my life

Love Looks Like Something

我未曾了解過 祢何等的愛
在我還軟弱時 祢就等待
祢永不放棄我 祢凡事相信
祢愛就如大海 永不止息

聖潔神 全然美麗 卻是被我所吸引
我微小軟弱的愛 使你心 點燃起來

我雖然黑 卻是秀美
在你眼中 我極寶貴
我雖軟弱 跌倒羞愧
你仍看我 為你寶貝

我用眼一看 就深深吸引祢
我項上的金鍊 奪了祢心

黑卻秀美 (piano & voice)

Lyrics:

I was standing on a sinking ship
I felt no hope, no hope, no hope, so broken
All around me was a storm
So heavy and the war, the war, the war
Inside of me, why, why me?
Constant battering, my heart was callous
Yet so red, so red, so red and sore
Lost and smoldering, a bruised and broken reed
And still you came so close, so close to me
Now I see a new day beginning

After the storm, I see the sun arising
Though my bones are still hurting, I know we will survive
After the storm, as the fog disappears
The sky begins to clear, we will go on and thrive
After the storm

Finally seeing you, a lighthouse piercing through
My hope, my hope, my hope arising
Didn’t think the night would end but finally I see
The dawn, the dawn, awakening
Now I see a new life beginning

After the storm, I see the sun arising
Though my bones are still hurting, I know we will survive
After the storm, as the fog disappears
The sky begins to clear, we will go on

Look at us now!
The war is over, we’ve braved through the battle!
And what we thought was lost is being found!
Just like a lighthouse standing on the shore
We’ll be full of hope and destiny

After the storm…
Hope springs back to life
After the storm, as our fears disappear
Our view begins to clear, we will go on and thrive
After the storm

After The Storm

Composed and Produced by Melody Hwang
For the 2016 Bethel Holiday Feast (Dec. 10, 2016)

Lyrics:
Have you ever felt lost - broken, downtrodden?
I was there and my life was a case
A never-ending mess of pain I’d forgotten
Well, I couldn’t forget, I just kept it off my face

Constantly searching for someone to love me
Just longing for a place to call home
My father abandoned us, my mother a wreck
What was family but another pithole
I wandered around like an orphan just wishing
For a place to rest my head
Until one day… I was given this gift

Did you know there’s a Father in heaven who loves you?
He created the world and He knows you by name?
Though fathers and mothers may leave us, He never will
He’s faithful, all of our days
Yes, there is a Father in heaven who loves us
He has all our lives in the palm of His hand
He planned you would meet me today at this park bench
To tell you about this gift He has given
The greatest gift, His Son, and His name is

(Jesus) there is no more shame with
(Jesus) there is no more pain with
(Jesus) heals all our diseases
(Jesus) my life has never been the same ‘cause of

(Jesus) is the miracle worker
(Jesus) is a constant friend
(Jesus) is my good provider
(Jesus) He will never leave you

(Jesus) and He’s reaching out to you
(Jesus) to give you Hope and a future
(Jesus) to give you life eternal
(Jesus) He is the greatest gift

(Jesus) is the Home you’ve wanted
(Jesus) is the Love you’ve thirsted
(Jesus) is the Life you needed
(Jesus)

He is the greatest gift
You could ever receive
This gift could change your life
And bring you joy and peace
He is the greatest gift
You could ever receive
This gift will change your life
Will you receive… 
This gift?

Even though you don’t text me
And you no longer call me
I’m sitting here all lonely
And I can’t get over you
I’m feeling really helpless
It’s tragic and exciting
Like schizophrenic lightning

I just can’t get over
How much I need you
How much I want you
How much I care, yea, yea
Can’t get over
How much I miss you
How much I want you
How much I care, yeah
I just can’t get over you

It’s really something tragic
Yet beautiful and magic
No matter how I try
I just can’t get over you
Your smile is disarming
And chronically charming
It’s really quite alarming, yeah

I just can’t get over
How much I need you
How much I want you
How much I care, yea, yea
Can’t get over
How much I miss you
How much I want you
How much I care, yeah, woah

Darlin, I miss you
I need you, I want you, yeah
Can’t you tell that I miss you
I need you, I want you, yeah

I just can’t get over
How much I need you
How much I want you
How much I care
I just can’t get over
How much I miss you
How much I want you
How much I care, yeah
I just can’t get over you
I just can’t get over you
I just can’t get over you

Can't Get Over You

I actually wrote this song back in 2014, recorded a demo and then left it sitting there for four years. But today I decided to share it. Hope you enjoy this song! I still really like it, and I think its message is very timely. 

Lyrics:
This world in its present form is passing away
這世界的樣子將要過去
It’s passing, it’s passing, it is passing away
要過去，要過去，這世界將要過去
All flesh but a vapor is fading away
凡有血氣的尽都如草
It’s fading, it’s fading, it is fading away
必枯乾，必枯乾，如草必枯乾

Woah~ oh

But when I look at the stars I remember
但當我仰望星辰，我就被提醒
Where my heart belongs
我心靈的歸屬
And the One who endures forever
而那位坐這在 寶座上
His love goes on and on
祂愛永遠長存
Just like the river that flows from Zion
就像從錫安山上留下來
That never will run dry
的河永不枯乾
So those who trust in the Lord will within them
凡投靠耶和華的都必
Spring up eternal life
湧出永恆生命

Woah~ oh


The world and its desires pass way
這世界情慾都要過去
Even Heaven and earth shall pass away
即使天和地都要废去
All glory of man like grass one day
所有人的美容都如草
Will pass away…. Away!!!
将要過去… 過去！

Our hope is in You, Jesus
盼望在於祢 耶穌
Our lives are for You, Jesus
生命是為了祢 耶穌

Passing Away 都要過去 (Original) - demo

I’m Not Your Savior (我不是你救主)

LYRICS  (中文翻譯在下面 ）

Verse 1:

You always keep offense around
And wear injustice like a crown 
But I won’t let you drag me down
Anymore

It’s easier to fall than to fly
So if you don’t even want to try
I guess I have to say goodbye
‘Cause now I know


Chorus:

I’m not your savior!
And I’ll never be
I’m freeing myself from your tyranny
I’m not your savior!
No, you won’t change
If you don’t want it, then you’ll stay the same
I’m not your savior!
No matter what I see
All the good underneath, what I hoped you could be
I’m not your savior!
Gotta let you go
Give up control, to save my soul!


Verse 2:

Thought so high of my self-sacrifice
It’s not your fault that I was so blind
But even naivety can be a vice
Now I know

I probably should just give up and go
Live my life, take back control
‘Cause, friend, we all reap what we sow
You should know


Bridge:

I can’t save you
Only you can do that to you
All I need is to be free


歌詞:

Verse 1:
你總是這麼容易被冒犯
一直都以一個被害者自居
但我不再被你拖下去
絕不再

要沈淪總比高飛容易
如果你根本不想嘗試
我想我必須說再見
因為我看清

Chorus:
我不是你救主
永遠不會是
我要脫離你情緒的掌控
我不是你的救主
你不不會改變的
如果你不願意，你就保持原樣
我不是你的救主
不論我曾憧憬你
有未開發的美善，我盼望你可成為的
但我不是你的救主
必須要放手了
我不再抓住，為拯救我靈魂

Verse 2:
我曾自以為懂得犧牲奉獻
不是你的錯，是我自己眼瞎
即使是天真也可成為最大的軟弱
我終於明白

我必須放手並且走開
過自己日子，活出意義
因為，朋友，怎麼種就怎麼收
你該知道

Bridge:
我無法拯救你
只有你可以自救
我要的就是自由

I'm Not Your Savior
