Time Flies

as she walks faithfully to pursue His will..

The author is just an ordinary girl, yet proud to be a child of God. She likes to sing but desire to sing only to boast her Father's Name, for His renown is the desire of her soul. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me." Philippians 4:13 keeps her going. She also likes to eat. Just bomb her with sushi at faywithoute@ gmail.com and she'll get back to you very soon.

A special day.

A day to be remembered as an official worship leader. x3
Let me describe the whole scene..

Starting
After greeting everyone, I started to share some of my personal thoughts. I have actually wrote down what to say behind the song lyrics as a guide, but I was still very nervous, and my English started to get broken with all the la and lo. However, I got a compliment from John. Thanks ya.

Jesus, You’re my firm foundation.
This was my first song. It’s a very old song, which normally I wouldn’t choose, but it suits today’s message. The key was a little bit too high for me, but overall, it was okey.

Yours is the Kingdom.
This is a new song, which never been sang before in our church until today. I like this song very very much. It’s a pretty fast song, and a little rocky lol. Besides, the song lyric is very nice too, so I decided to share and introduce this new song to everyone. I’m very grateful to have a very supportive worship team for willing to practice and play hard for this new song. *poke Alvin and Hon Whi*

I could sing of Your love forever.
Some of you might remember that I’ve posted the lyrics of this song here before. I requested the guitarist to play solo at the start and the worship team to transpose the chorus after the bridge. Glad the song went well and hopefully, it touched some of the hearts? Hehe.

Refuge.
I said a prayer when Kevin was playing the intro of this song. I tried not to show my nerve when praying but.. ^^; it was quite obvious I guess. I think I presented this song quite okey. At least I saw people raising up their hands during the chorus. So cool.

How could I live without You.
I love this song very much. It sounds like a love song, the title already shows I guess. This song really touched my heart. I wanted to transpose the chorus, but I didn’t cause I don’t want to trouble the musicians to play so many different chords for so many different songs. Maybe I’ll try it next time. Hehe.

One Desire.
This was the last song, and I didn’t end it well. I should repeat one more chorus before I put an end to it. However, I like the bridge very much. I like how the musicians built up and down the songs, very nice.

Offering
I choosed Stand up for Jesus as the offering song because again, it suits the message of the day. But the key is too high for me, so my mum said that she couldn’t hear my voice. Maybe next time, I should choose a song that is suitable to my voice rather than the message.

Ending
I got some compliments, as well as some very useful comments from the worship team members. Overall, I’ve improved, but I know there’re still lots of room for improvement. I hope I’ve learnt from my mistakes and I know that I can actually do better. I’ll still continue to sing for the Lord anyway. =)

Wish I could hear you sing. I’m glad you’re doing what you’ve always wanted to do, in a way. I don’t know how it feels to lead sing a group.. I can imagine how nervous I’d be if it were me.

Take care

Ah, I remember when I used to go to church and they had all the songs and stuff. I was always really impressed by the talent there, and the songs were pretty catchy too. If you went up there and led a whole church in that, I’m really impressed. Must have been nerve-wracking. >

I wanna hear you sing! I bet you rock =) I’m glad you improved. If you keep going and going, you’ll keep improving. =)

Aelyn! Thanks for remembering what I’ve been always wanted to do. Hehe. I was very nervous, but I also gained some confident from it. x)

Ariel~ thanks for the impressiveness, lol. My church isn’t very big though, but it’s a very good place to practice and to gain confident. Hehe. =P

Elena! Maybe next time I could record down my voice and post it here in my blog? Hehe. Thanks btw. *huggles*

Ari~ little sister. I’m glad I can sing for the Lord too and of course, I’ll continue praising Him. =) And you too ya~ Hehe.
