Back to Basic

I may not be a perfect person.
I may not be the best there is.
I may not even wholly like what I see (in me).
But I realized...
I am the only one.

Even if I am not perfect,
Even if I am not as good as you want me to be,
Even if I am still lacking in most areas (if not all)
But still...
If I am not me, then there is no point of my being.
There is no point of my existence.

I am here,
I exists,
Because I am me.

Maybe I won't satisfy you by being me.
Maybe I would be a disappointment by being me.
(There's still a long way to go afterall)
But I am here because I am me.
I am with you, because I am me.
I am remembered as me.

So let me be...
Let me be me.
The me who I am.
The me who I treasured.
The me who I cherished.

Maybe the me in the next few years won't be the same as the me I am now.
But for the time being, let me just be me like the me now.
And let me slowly enjoy the changes that is, that will, soon occur.
Let me learn things and grow through my own set of pace...

Let me be myself as I am..

Let's treasure each stages and moments in our life =)

Dalam semangat kemerdekaan... "HUT RI Dirgahayu ke 64"



Gw baru tau Indonesia Raya itu ada bait 2nya.. Hahahaha....

Yesterday I have this sudden urge of listening to Chris Tomlin's songs. And so I went to youtube and found his song "I Will Rise" and also found out that he just released a new album on September last year (meaning it's like almost a year ago?) lol... Yeah, but I only found out recently (I used to search for it but couldn't find his latest album... So...)

Yappari, I still love his songs ^^

I've listened to the whole thing (kinda) and I love it ^^

Kinda typical of his songs I guess but some songs are kinda different. One of which is the one titled "Love" cause it's a collaboration with Watoto Children choir.. ^^ So it's really beautiful... Khekhekhekhe....

The story behind it was funny too. Cause when he first created it, he showed it to this guy and he said he likes it but he wanted to try something different and so they tampered with the songs and add some 'African' style into it. And he was saying, "how cool it is to have the Watoto children choir" cause you know, of course he'd met them at Hillsong conference. Khekhekhe.... Then like somehow someone mentioned that the Watoto choir's actually there for some national competition or something? And they're free on Thursday for their schedule, and you know what? They were recording this song "Love" on Thursday too... So finally they called and the Watoto children agreed to record together (and Chris still didn't believe it until their bus is actually parked across the streets and the children crossed it and entered the studio...) Huehehehe... Praise the Lord... ^^ Very interesting... Of course nothing's a coincident right? Hehehehe..

Ahhh..... It's been a while...

Anyway, he got some really good worship songs too... I think Exalted (Yahweh) is a nice song for personal worship time? But of course the song's too short. Hehehehe... Ah well...

Gonna enjoy his songs for the rest of the day... Yay...

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say, "It is well"

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

And I will rise
When He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

And I will rise
When He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

And I hear the voice of many angels sing
Worthy is the Lamb
And I hear the cry of every longing heart
Worthy is the Lamb
(You are worthy)

"But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." ~ Isaiah 40:31
