Hillsong United - Hosanna // download HERE



I see the King of Glory coming down the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see His love and mercy washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing

Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

I see a generation rising up to take their place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a new revival stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees, we're on our knees

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Every single word in that song is the prayer that's been on my heart for a long time. And the following passage captures this everyday prayer.

II Corinthians 4:16-18

16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.


The greatest thing I learned at AF1 is that I need to ask myself this question everyday: Am I living today for HIM... or myself? Pastor Joe's sermon on Humility was so basic yet so applicable. When I can truly let go of living for myself, then I can live so freely for Him.

This semester is going to be very tough. I'm taking my last Chemistry course and it's going to kick my butt. There's the Benefit Concert that's going to be a big deal and unless we all work together, I'm going to end up doing a lot of the work since I initiated it. The retreat is coming up really fast and Pastor Thomas is going to be our guest speaker ! Yay. =) I'm going to be more involved with the praise team at church. Some are worried b/c I'm overexerting myself. But the thing is.. I can handle all of this. But not on my own power.. on God's power. So it goes back to that question, who am I living for? What am I living for?

The theme for 2008 will be.. Learning to Live for Him.
