We Call on You

You feed the hungry
You clothe the naked
You cleanse the filthy
You touch the lowly
You grace the meek
You lift the weak
You love us
Through and through
Speaking strength
Grace
And hope
To all who call on You

His Hand of Love

Monte and I have been living in Sengkang since 2001.  I vividly remember the young plants that lined the streets.  Due to strong wind and torrential rain here, they needed to be supported.  Oftentimes, they looked battered and weak.  They were fighting for their survival.

Days, months and years passed.  Today, seventeen years later, they have grown into young trees.  Vibrant, strong and luscious.  

Like the young plants, we were once weak and feeble, the Lord in His love and mercy strengthens us.  He builds us.  His nurturing love grows us into a strong, compassionate and loving people.  A people of compassion.  A people of grace.  A people of love.  He shapes and moulds us daily till He sees His reflection in us.  He guides us with loving patience, bringing out the best in us.  His hand of love is on us.

Pour Us Out

Pour us out 
As a drink offering
To reach the lost
To touch the broken
The despised
The needy
The marginalised
The powerless
The weak
The voiceless

Flow through
Our feeble hands
Flow through 
Our feeble legs
Empower us 
To love and serve

Pour us out
As a drink offering
We offer our lives
To You
The supreme God
And our loving Father

At every sunrise
We need You 
At every sunset
You need You
At the beginning
We need You
At the end
We need You
Every moment
Every second
Every minute
Every hour
Every day
We need You

The Dark Night of the Soul


You are with us
In the dark night 
Of the soul
Your comforting presence
Your abiding love
Your rich grace
Reaches to the depth 
Of our being
You say
I am with you
In the fire
I am with you
In the flood
I am with you
In your anguish
I am with you
In your pain
I am Immanuel
Cling on to me
Cry out to me
Call on my name
In the dark night
Of the soul
I am all you need
I am with you

Faithful God

Never has there been one as faithful as You.

Never has there been one as merciful as You.

Never has there been one as gracious as You.

You lavished us with Your goodness. Your pour Your rich grace on us. You reached out and touch our broken hearts.

You are everything we ever needed. Lord, we surrender. We bow down. We worship You our maker, our source,
our strength and our only hope.

How could we survive one more moment
How could we face the mountains
Only You
Our source
Our strength
Our tower
Our refuge
Our security
You and only You

Rebuild Our Lives

Light our paths
Soften our hearts
Open our ears
Sanctify our thoughts

Bless our labour
Rebuild our lives
Have mercy on us

We call on You
We cry out to You
We need You
We seek You with all of our hearts

Pave Our Way

Open our heart to receive
Open our eyes to see
Open our ears to hear
Open pathways
Open the floodgates of heaven
Open doors of opportunity
Direct our every step
Make a way 
When there seems 
To be no way

Quiet Trust

Had not been for the loving hand of God, we would have despaired and lost all hope. The Lord never fails to challenge and empower us to lean on Him. We find strength for each new day as we allow the Lord to lead us.  

Our dreams, hopes and aspirations lie in the hand of the Lord. We follow Him wherever He may lead. We allow Him to open and close door sovereignly. 

In quiet trust lies our confidence in our loving God. He makes all things beautiful in His time. He has put eternity in our hearts so that we can worship Him.

Hide Us

Hide us in Your love
Hide us under Your wings
Hide us with Your warmth
You are our hiding place
Our refuge
Our fortress
Hide us in the cleft of the rock
We find hope
Rest
Strength
In Your love

One More Day

Let us live one more day
To see Your glory
To taste Your goodness
To behold Your beauty
To smell the flowers
To spread Your gospel
To bring Your love
Compassion
Kindness
Gentleness
To touch the people 
Who are on Your heart
To live one more day
To love and serve You


A Glimpse of Your Glory

A glimpse of Your glory
A taste of Your sweetness
The touch of Your love
The sound of Your voice
All that really matters
Is You
All that really matters 
Is Your presence in our lives
Touch our hearts this day
Set our hearts ablaze
Let Your light burn 
Stronger
Brighter
Till we see You 
Face to face

The Strength of His Grace

Monte and I have tasted God's goodness all these years.  We are amazed at His unending mercies. We could not have made it without Him.  God pours His grace on us when we are in the depths of despair and discouragement.  The strength of His grace sees us through the most unimaginable challenges. We will not trade Him for anything in this world.  We are thankful for each day that He blesses us with and we continue to count our blessings.  God has blessed us with family and friends who have walked with us through our life journey and we are grateful for everyone who has been a part of our life.  We continue to journey with the Lord in joyful hope.  He is reason for our existence and we desire to see His purposes fulfilled in and through us.
