somewhat sille, that's me!

fridays are always emotional. i don't know why. i mean, i have my theories, but they are kinda half-baked.. pleading ignorance is the way to go.

remember my i-don't-like-emotions spiel? wah, the days following that posts just vacuum the life out of me. but i've learned that counting my blessings is something that i need to consciously do, to negate the negativity. i appreciate the privilege of friendships. i cannot imagine having gone through life without such lifeline. thank you. for those which i've cut off by my immaturity and ignorance, i'm sorry. mm the day i hit menopause, i'm registering myself into a hermitage. i'll call once the hormones stabilize.

someone sent me the MP3 of this song last Friday. i rber i wasn't in a superb mood at that point. i was annoyed at something unimportant. the news of the earthquake in japan just broke. i had a speech to write. and stuff.

this song.. i first heard it here. loved it to bits but i didn't know how to save it (and didn't think of googling for it), so i went the low-tech route: saved the page in my bookmark and visit it to listen to the song. so yeah, getting it in mp3 form was quite a big deal (i think i'm way past the i'm-a-computer-science-graduate-and-i-can't-figure-this-out-i'm-so-embarrassed phase) so thank you. this song.. i think i teared. sigh. just a little. ;)

in Christ alone, my hope is found


He is my light, my strength, my song


this cornerstone, this solid ground


firm through the fiercest drought and storm


what heights of love, what depths of peace


when fears are stilled, when strivings cease


my comforter, my all-in-all


here in the love of Christ I stand

there in the ground His body lay


light of the world by darkness slain


then bursting forth in glorious day


up from the grave He rose again!

and as He stands in victory


sin’s curse has lost its grip on me

for I am His and He is mine


bought with the precious blood of Christ

no guilt in life, no fear in death

this is the power of Christ in me


from life’s first cry to final breath


Jesus commands my destiny


no power of hell, no scheme of man

can ever pluck me from His hand

till He returns or calls me home


here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
