My most played songs of the moment...

Just would like to share, and preserve here two of my most favorite songs in the Hillsong United Aftermath album. I love all the songs, but it is these two that struck that musical i-wanna-learn/sing-this part of me again:)

...caught up in grace like an avalanche
nothing compares to this love, love, love...burning in my heart

Thoughts: A song of ultimate surrender and trust in God's grace...
     When I first heard this, I tried to imagine how it is to be caught up in avalanche- in this world, it would mean drowning in mud, suffocation and death; but to be swept away by an avalanche of grace, driven by the power of God's love and not by nature's wrath, now that's a truly amazing experience. I guess that's what God does to us each day- we live by grace, yes, but we do not realize the bounty of it all- that it isn't merely showers, it is an avalanche...only our attitude isn't always that of total surrender, for we sometimes build barriers around and over us- that of pride, fear, and lack of trust in God. Teach my heart Lord to just trust in you...completely, wholeheartedly, and with no reservations. You know I don't know how to swim:), but as your vast and endless ocean of love and grace awaits me, help me find the peace in my heart to gladly take the plunge...

Oh Jesus, alive in me...
Breathe in me your life 'til your love overtakes me...

Thoughts: The fullness of life can only be found in Jesus...
     Jesus, you know me better than anyone else (myself included)- who am I, who I was, and who I hope to become. There's nothing I can hide from you, but thank you, for dying for me, taking my dry bones, hurts, and pains with you. I still am not perfectly happy, and I guess I won't be until I finally come home to you; but each moment of my life now is filled with joy knowing that whatever happens, your love for me remains firm, strong, and true...My healing does not come from trying to understand my circumstances, passing the blame on others, and especially to myself; but it comes from knowing You, and knowing that You love me so much. I am overwhelmed, I am overtaken...now, help me to love like You do...

All I need is you and I love you, I love you, I love you...
