holy is the Lord
Sunday, May 27, 2007


1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied. Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about." Early the next morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 5 He said to his servants, "Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you."

Verse1:
Wake up little Isaac
And rub your tired eyes
Go and kiss your mama
We’ll be gone a little while
Come and walk beside me
Come and hold your papa’s hand
I go to make an altar
And to offer up my lamb
Verse2:
And in a waking dream He came
Riding on a wind across the sand He spoke my name
“Here I am”, I whispered
And I waited in the dark
The answer was a sword
That came down hard upon my heart
(Chorus)
Holy is the Lord
Holy is the Lord
And the Lord I will obey
Lord, help me I don’t know the way
Verse3:
So take me to the mountain
I will follow where You lead
There I’ll lay the body
Of the boy You gave to me
And even though You take him
Still I ever will obey
But Maker of this mountain,
please make another way

6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, 7 Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father?" "Yes, my son?" Abraham replied. "The fire and wood are here," Isaac said, "but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?"
8 Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went on together.
9 When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 11 But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, "Abraham! Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied.
12 "Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said. "Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son."
13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, "On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided."
15 The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time 16 and said, "I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."
Taken from Genesis 22:1-18
Lyrics by Andrew Peterson "Holy is the Lord"
I wonder why Abraham did what he did
I wonder why isaac didn't resist or run away
Similary I wonder why Jesus didn't resist or rebel when he was sentenced to die.

That's sarah's artwork. we were supposed to do quilling and stenciling. after stoning and not knowing what to do, this was the end product. honestly i think it looks kinda gloomy. haha. oh no. and they caught me stoning..

The waterbottle is chansey's gift to me & the lollipop is from amelia! pretty cool huh. heh. with a new schoolbag and t-shirt. Besides that i got a whole lot of other pressies.. So to everyone who tried and thought hard and wished me happy birthday, thanks you!!!!

This week was kinda busy, and i nearly died during driving lesson. must be the lack of sleep. right became left and left became right. aiyo... let's hope next week will be better.

That was the sky changing before i had counselling lesson.. cool right. I think when the sky really darkens, it reminds me of the prophecy of the end times..
This week i didn't have much time to sit down to eat.. haha. Lunch was take-away, to do some project discussion. There was a dinner where i had to eat beside the comp typing stuff too. then everyday come home when the cows come home.. haha, when the sun has already gone down to bed. BUT sarah is still fortunate to stay near school. my poor friends have to take one hour to go home.
Today sarah went to sentosa to play!! and she got sun kissed. as well as a bad reputation for being violent. oOps. But it was fun playing with all the crusade people.. roughing it out under the sun.
herr.. my saturday is almost over. then it'll be sunday and the week starts again. NOOOO.
The week was traumatic. haha. let me brace myself for the next. ahhhhhhhh

Friday, May 11, 2007

yesterday night i was lying in bed just before i dozed off thinking what would happen if i lost my sense of taste. that'll be quite sad. anyway, i'm addicted to watermelon frost!! haha. it relieves pain.

i think if i find out where this place is, i might consider just moving there.. hee. no need cave in jungle le.
sarah is a happy girl, cause she just got a surprise birthday gift from her JC class mates! i totally didn't expect it, esp cause my birthday is still some distance away, and i thought they were celebrating shallin and kimmy's and chen xi's birthday. I think seeing my classmates all over again was a present in itself, haven't seen them for such a looooong time. so, smiles! i've been so caught up with OT and my mission trip friends and my saltshakers that i kinda forgot about 1904. 1904 rawks!!! and thank you so so much for the t-shirt and the kino voucher.. hee. just what i wanted.

emo-ing
Wednesday, May 02, 2007



tell me again what i'm doing here on a weekday with my eyes half closed. right. yes. i was walking home today and thinking about how bad a friend i am, cause i happen to lose contact with most of my friends after we part ways. But something kinda made happy yesterday, cause my long-lost msn buddy finally talked to me. abeit it was only for 10 minutes cause he had to rush off to camp, but *smiles*!
i was about to type a emo post, complaining about yesterday, but seeing van's happy tag made me smile. so, to van, thank you!!
and yes, Sarah misses her friends like jaz, iris and mabel.. hee.
to all Sarah's friends who have tried to talk to a very unfriendly and awful sarah, love you lots too!
once i go offline, it's time to continue emo-ing. haha

This lullaby is only a few words
A simple run of chords
Quiet here in this spare room
But you can hear it, hear it
Wherever you may go
I will let you down
But this lullaby plays on
