"teh teh net, teh teh neh-neh..... veli the hot lah!"

Summershanshine:

It all started around 7.15pm. Everyone had their dinner, all set ready and went into sanctuary with the heart of expectation. Warm welcome from the ushers and almost half of the sanctuary were packed with youths and new friends! I'm overjoyed when I saw all these. Actually I have no idea how this concert will be, but in my heart I somehow think it's going to be a very different concert. Very different.

When all the musicians and singers flashed in, wah... So environmental friendly. GLEEN GLEEN NEH.. From the view of the audience seat, I can see that all the musicians and singers were excited and can't wait to start praise the lord. I don't see any nervous faces, all are like army that are so ready for a war and going to CHIONG all the way~

All the songs are very very very well written. I love the melody, the lyrics and the flow. I believe these composers must have gone through the goodness and faithfulness of God, to be able to compose songs that are so related to our lives, things that we really want to whisper to God and just praise Him. I believe our church do have some very talented and blessed composers! Praise the Lord for that! Although these are new songs, the congregation's response were good. The place was filled with so much joy and peace. I think joy and peace are really what nowadays people are seeking for. I really enjoyed the concert, so do a lot of people. I even see new comers go with the flow singing and jumping. Who said church is boring? The house of God is big and there's room for everyone and it's never boring, it is always filled with love, peace and joy. And with a bunch of radical youth, we will never stop praising Him and our feet will never stop jumping for Him!

I must say that good job musicians and singers! Firstly, you guys are really alert. There were a few parts where situations changed and you guys just picked it up so quickly and no lag in between. The musicians were pro! There's one part I'm not sure other noticed or not, the musicians were perhaps too high and played the chorus but actually it was supposed to be pre-chorus for the song 耶稣，时代拯救者. The musicians quickly switched back on track with a smile on their face. I smiled too when I saw that because you all just responded too well for it.

Secondly, it's really from the heart. The singers were really good in bringing the people to worship. I personally enjoyed watching little Hui Min singing because I think she's an angel, very pure in heart for God, a growing up girl. hehe.. Oh ya! Yong Thai did some rap thing right? It adds up some little sparks for that song! As for musicians.. I saw Denise banging the keyboard and singing in a very very concert style. Very cool neh.. And Victor played drums like Whoa!

Thirdly is for the PA team and the lightings! I noticed there's a difference if there's lighting effects and without it. PA was good, not too loud nor too soft and as what I see nothing happens? hehe.. I think the music ministry is going to a higher ground.
Going beyond.. (:

Chung Hwa's preaching was funny and cool! I mean talking about self image, that's like something really puzzled a lot teenagers. For acceptance, for being somebody, the sense of belonging. We have the Christ identity, we have the precious bloodline in us, the child of God! Two thumbs up for the preacher and also not forgetting Danny, our interpretor! Quite a lot new friends responded to the alter call. Some are shy to step up, but from the minute they made the decision, the seed is growing..

After the concert, happy people were all around. =)

I truly soaked myself in the presence of God. I can't help surrender all the worries and just tell God even sometimes I cannot make it, but I want to trust you and praise you for who you are. My feet could not stand still, is like I want to dance dance dance in the freedom. hahaha..

Anyway, I love all the songs very much. Especially Fix My Eyes On You, 在你爱中安静, You Are My Peace. Sometimes circumstances can really pull you down, you have so much things to do, to study, things just don't go the way it is.. All we really need is to fix our eyes on God, to quiet down and the peace will just flow in. Perhaps you seems to have everything, life seems good with nothing to complain, or maybe having a great day, but after everything ends, the happy ends, then what now? Sometimes it could be really lonely, a feeling like what now? But we know we have the peace in us, we will never walk alone, we will never afraid any more. Grab hold on it! Even if sometimes we will fall, we will fall back to God's arm and trusting his faithfulness. Living a life that is pleasing to God will be the best melody to God's ears. (:

We give all glory and honour to God.

*God, are you smiling at us right now?*
=p

I really can't wait for the album recording and the day for the album's debut!
=D

The Freedom We Know
by Hillsong

We’re gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
We’re gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
We’re gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
Because the freedom we know is gonna last forever

The world turns in all of its ways
But I’m soul set on a holy name
And when all earth is said and done
Still I will praise Him

There’s no end to the love that He gives
And now broken dreams have life again
In the hope of the risen King
So let us praise Him

A mystery unthinkable
That He took the fall just to save my soul
Now to love is the life I know
On and on and on we’ll be singin’

Soul set free in the One I love
Oh come on come on
And let the whole earth sing
In the freedom we know
So come on come on and praise Him

Come come all the lost and the found
Let us rise up with a holy sound
All the earth unified as one
Just to praise Him

In full view with nothing to hide
Like a city on a hill we’re gonna shine
In the light of Your freedom
Let us praise Him

We’re gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
We’re gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
We’re gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
Because the freedom we know is gonna last forever
