Storm - Lifehouse

By Daughter Of Sarah -
I have never heard of Lifehouse till today. Yes I know - swakoo.

Andrea sent me a beautiful skit played to their music. and Ian told me they seem to be a secular band.

BUT I found this song and I knew they are Christ led... =)

The lyrics moved me to tears. It has been a pretty tough battlefield of the mind recently and this song ministered to me so beautifully.

So many visuals flooded my mind and amidst it all, I saw Him walking on water, hand outstretched to me in the storm, ready to lead me out of the mess and the noise into His Shalom.



how long have I
been in this storm
so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
water's getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I'd see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright

I know you didn't
bring me out here to drown
so why am I 10 feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright

and I will walk on water
you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
everything's alright

    Hey, here's another swakoo who's never heard of lifehouse. tks for sharing! it's a beautiful song. :)

    Girl, sorry to hear you've been in the down. I'm at a loss of words as to how to give you a word of encouragement to this cool & graceful swan. But what i've done in a small way is to cover you with prayers. If you've caught a glimpse of the sky today, at how blue it is, with twirls & swirls of white clouds, you know you've received His blessings.. or if you've caught a child on the street smiling at you, a taxi uncle stopping for you even though there's a other passenger flaggin him down before you, or mabbe even just feeling the cool brush of fresh air sweeping past you... Angels & Jesus' very presence is right before & ahead of you. :)

    Chin up, for you're not alone. *hugs!*

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...

You have Comeback Power - Joel Osteen (Transcript) Pt 1

By Daughter Of Sarah -
I like to start with something funny - I heard about this pastor, he decided to skip church one Sunday and go play golf. He told his assistant he wasn't feeling well and he drove to another city's gold course there so no one would recognise him. He teed off at the first hole. All of a sudden a huge gust of wind caught his ball, carried it an extra hundred yard and blew it right into the hole for a 421 yard hole-in-one. The angel looked at God and asked, "What didcha do that for?" God smiled and said, "Who's he gonna tell?" Alright. Hold up your bible. Say it like you mean it - “This is my bible I am what it says I am, I have what it says I have, I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same. In Jesus’s name.” God bless you. I want to talk to you today about how you have Comeback power. We all face situations that seem like they could bury us - the...
