Come To Him

Too many walls
Too many broken dreams
I have built around me

Trapped within loneliness
Blinded by pride
I didn't see You sit next to me

Too many nights
Wondering why
It had to be this way

Deaf to Your voice
Cold to Your touch
Didn't hear what You said

You said
Come to Me
I know you're weary
All those burdens I will carry
Come to Me
And rest
Under the shelter of My wings

Come to Me
Remember your first love
Come to Me
I'll wipe away your tears
Come to Me
My child
You are precious
In My eyes

Chase away doubts
Lift away the gloom
Hold me tight my Daddy

I can lean upon You
Cast it all on You
Come boldly to Your grace

You are my peace
You are my calm
When storms rage around me

I was lost now I'm found
No longer bound
Now I'll always look Your way
And I'll say

I've come to You
I know You will carry
I've come to You
I'm no longer weary
You've filled my heart with joy
I'll fly upon Your wings

I've come to You
Remembered Your first love
I've come to You
You took away my fears
I've come to You
My tears
I lay down at Your feet...

No longer walls
All my dreams fulfilled
I know You as my Daddy...

Warmed by Your love
I cast off my pride
And I know You're sitting here beside me...

    Very inspiring words indeed!

    Reminded me of the song, 'Come To The Water', which i used to sing in Youth Fellowship at Living Waters Christian Church many years ago.

    Here are the lyrics to the song;

    COME TO THE WATER

    You said You'd come
    and share all my sorrows
    You said You'd be there
    for all my tomorrows
    I came so close to sending You away
    And just like You promised,
    You came here to stay
    I just had to pray.

    And Jesus said,
    Come to the water,
    stand by my side,
    I know you are thirsty,
    you won't be denied.
    I felt every teardrop
    when in darkness you cried,
    And I strove to remind you
    that for those tears I died

    Your goodness so great
    I can't understand,
    And, dear Lord, I know
    that this was all planned.
    Saviour, You're here now,
    and always will be.
    Your love is so great
    and always so free,
    Jesus and me.

    And Jesus said,
    Come to the water,
    stand by my side,
    I know you are thirsty,
    you won't be denied.
    I felt every teardrop
    when in darkness you cried,
    And I strove to remind you
    that for those tears I died

    Jesus, I give you
    my heart and my soul.
    I know, without God
    I'd never be whole,
    Saviour, You opened
    all the right doors,
    And I thank You and praise You
    from earth's humble shores.
    Take me, I'm Yours.

    And Jesus said,
    Come to the water,
    stand by my side,
    I know you are thirsty,
    you won't be denied.
    I felt every teardrop
    when in darkness you cried,
    And I strove to remind you
    that for those tears I died

    Hi Geri,

    The song is also known as, 'For Those Tears I Died'.

    It is available on You tube,
    sung by Gaither and Friends.
    Another sung by Donnie Summer.
    Also a few others. Check them up when you are free.

    My preference is the one performed by Donnie Summer.

    Enjoy the song.

    Shalom

Sermon 31/08/2008 - Pastor Lian (NCC)

By -
Pastor Lian has been in NCC for 20 years!! Joke- There was this really old obese lady who was so fat she had serious heart problem. One day she had heart attack and brought her to hospital and she died on op table. She came face to face with God and said sheepishly I guess my time is up… and God said no you are still young you are only 50 plus and you are a NCCer - u can live till 120 years. She woke up and told the doctor and told the doc she just want to have something else done. So she had an extreme makeover. It took a few mths and as she stepped out of the hospital, a car knocked her down and she died - God was as surprised to see her as she was to be back there. Just then, the angels sheepishly admitted - they could not recognise her. Lol. ---------------------------------------------------------- From young, Pastor Prince has always said - "God said", "God can" - he has always possessed a good opinion of God. 14 years from moving to The Rock location - 2 x 7

What the Anointing Oil is & Prayer for the Anointing Oil

By -
Pastor Prince from New Creation Church has recently called upon the church members to use the Anointing Oil to bless every area of our lives. He had gone to Tiberius Church in Indonesia and seen how the anointing oil has made a difference to the Christians there. The senior pastor of Tiberius Church, Pastor Yesaya Pariadji, had been led by the Father to get his church to use the anointing oil radically. He had a vision of a biblical quotation when he was still not yet a Christian - he had no idea what it was. When he became a pastor, he finally understood what it meant. He felt very led to get his church to use anointing oil so they went ahead and used it; their testimonials are plentiful and amazing. Pastor Prince being a huge believer in Sola Scriptura, decided to discern further, pray about this and read up on the scriptural references on Anointing Oil before telling us to use it. He believes in doing things biblically - meaning we can be radical in our faith (for example our churc
