@hhChoooo… who sneezed?!?!

Worlds apart.

My desires. His desires.

Selfish pride. Sin Rebellion. Covetous. Clouded heart. Tainted past. Hurts. Wounds.

Love. Mercy. Life. Blood. Restoration. Grace. Sacrifice. Atonement.

Worlds Apart.

Worlds Collide.

Wedged.

Me. Wedged.

WORLDS APART by JARS OF CLAY.
I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all adds up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love to give and die

To turn away and not become another nail to pierce
the skin of one who loves more deeply than the oceans,
more abundant than the tears of a world embracing every heartache

Can I be the one to sacrifice
or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow

To love you - take my world apart
To need you - I am on my knees
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - broken on my knees

All said and done I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe in the mercy that covers me

Did you really have to die for me?
All I am for all you are because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart

I look beyond the empty cross forgetting what my life has cost
and wipe away the crimson stains and dull the nails that still remain
More and more I need you now, I owe you more each passing hour
the battle between grace and pride I gave up not so long ago

So steal my heart and take the pain and wash the feet and cleanse my pride
take the selfish,
take the weak,
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty,
take my tears the sin-soaked heart and make it yours
take my world all apart
take it now, take it now
and serve the ones that I despise
speak the words I can’t deny
watch the world I used to love
fall to dust and thrown away

I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
so wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
so steal my heart and take the pain
take the selfish,
take the weak
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty,
take my tears
take my world apart,
take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I pray
take my world apart

Its been almost non stop… work, school, group meetings, work, school, tutorials…

I’ve been finding it so tough living off 6 to less than 6 hours sleep per day.. and it wears you thin.. on patience, and grace.. but finally… light at the end of the tunnel… or rather, middle of the tunnel.. heh heh.. the term break is coming soon and tutorials have been submitted less one.. that I’ll prob be mulling thru after this… but come next week, I’m gonna get a much deserved rest, before things get mad again for the rest of the year.

Really hope that the long work schedule (which is temporary) would pass, it would really free up so much of my time.

One thing, on looking back, even though some of the devotional times in the mornings were dry, but I think they helped keep the sanity and perspective intact. Lesson; dun compromise on the important things.. They form the bedrock. They are the bedrock.
