Voice Of Truth - Casting Crowns

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again, "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriers
Shaking in their armour
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the ginat's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
Time and time again, "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From the top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth



i know God is ever-present and very real indeed. He's here and He works in the invisible.

we know what the end of this race has installed for us, the surreal treasures at the end of the rainbow, just that sometimes, the fog comes and clouds our vision of the finish line.


but we will run, running till we finally finish the race.

so then, i will shut out the lesser voice that stirs my mind, listening only to the Voice of truth. whatever stones lie in wait to stumble me, He will use it to boost me forward.



Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.



to the 2 ppl who's been helping me thus far in my journey, you don't know how much you guys mean to me :)

wallowing in depression these few days... i'm struggling to hang on.

oh and i got a shock when randy called. thank God nothing happened.

time for a quick update before i start on my work!

can't quite remember all that's happened in these 2 wks. every day passes so fast that it's a blur.

friday was choir farewell! candles and banners and black and white. all so memorable. singing "No man is an island" was fun at the foyer of aquarius.

sat saw me at ang mo kio doing the health mapping exercise (HME). oh i just recalled! haha. we had vjchoir tea party the previous sat!! yes yes! cheryl aka ah-no-neh was in my grp - vhatever!! haha. clement and bryan halim and 2 other girls [paiseh i forgot ur names :X] were in my grp too. lol. sad that i had to leave for HME training just after i finished the group cheer. heard that u all got 3rd! haha good job.

HME was pretty insightful, had hui-hui, stella and joyce ying in my group. stella's really funny! went around door to door to give the residents free basic health check-ups. noticed that hui-hui had a penchant for little children! she started carrying all of them the moment she entered the flats and played with them. haha so cute. much to our surprise, some of the 1-room flats were really well-furnished! hui-hui was out noticing all the crocs, TVs, nikes, chevrolets and BMWs they had. haha.

oh. random: differential equations is fun. seriously :)

last wed and thurs saw me at IMH doing CIP with medsoc. some of the patients were actually more normal than the stereotypical views we have of them. nice interacting with them! stella and saranya were totally hilarious.

before i went down to IMH yesterday, we had Tenor JTS!! randy didnt come again!! get well soon k! look forward to seeing the seniors at grand reunion soon...


i feel really lethargic. the hols is going to end soon and i havnt even started on my proj!! :(

blah. shld get down to work alr..

amid the tumultuous world out there, with all the masquerades and facades and hauteur, my labyrinthine mind finally gained rest. i see the finishing line, that picture-perfect dream, that glaringly bright future. for breaking down the walls that don't belong, thanks bro.

2nd caroling session was at ritz carlton on saturday! :/ had to skip tuition... noooo i wanted to learn the 2nd part of differential equations. integration is fun!! =)

caroling at ritz was great! haha everyone chiong-ed for the dim sum, drinks, sweets, etc etc the moment robin finished doing the run-through in the holding room. alex even koped the foolscap paper!! haha chengwei ran to the dim sum tray immediately after robin finished rehearsing the last song and started eating the siew mai while passing it out to ppl. lol. played bridge with sean, chengwei and kenneth while waiting and managed to win quite a bit!!

haha it was a little tough learning so many songs [and memorising their lyrics mind u] in the short time we had [for me, 1 nite and 1 afternoon?] but hey, we did well!! vjchoir rox :) haha after the christmas tree lightup ceremony [the 2nd half of the caroling session], the santa claus stole our limelight! all the parents and children started clamouring for the goodies he was giving out and started pushing robin when he was conducting us. that was somewhat amusing ;)

whilst singing the carolers' medley, sherman being sherman [no, seriously, i know you're not serious] sang the altered lyrics which got me almost bursting out in laughter during the performance. .................. God bless u! lol. -_-

speaking of which, he just ended his last paper yesterday. hmm.

went for dinner with a whole bunch of people and it dawned on me that that could possibly be the last time i'm seeing sherman for a while considering the (really unfortunate) fact that he's not attending farewell on fri!! oh wells...

monday and today [and actually up till friday] saw me doing cool stuff!!! it's really really exciting and a sight to behold. i really am very thankful for this opportunity. although that means that i'll miss choir pracs... and more to come. bleh.

i can't quite believe that friday's farewell. everything seems too fuzzy and faraway...






as i walked off, i turned around. i waved. my gaze met yours and at that moment, i instinctively knew nothing else need be said. perhaps it was my vaguely dispirited expression, perhaps you read my silent thoughts a while ago, or just perhaps, it was the bond we shared that was forged from the good ol' yesteryear. no matter, thank you and goodbye...

going for my first ever caroling session now! it'll be in a few hours, graced by president nathan, at raffles hotel! :)

im going to say that i really enjoyed bio project 2 under mr chong! learnt about the polymerase chain reaction in advance!! haha that means that we've learnt part of next year's syllabus and have the liberty to pon lectures!! haha but being me, i'll never skip lessons :P will be taking the test earlier also as part of an experimental try-out by mr chong.

listening to kris allen now. really like him!

this few days hanging out wif 09s37 and vjchoir ppl rox! =)

jiayous seniors who are having their last few papers :) i can't/can wait for farewell, if u get what i mean.

today's the last day of school!! for most of us at least. haven't blogged in a few days.

yesterday saw me going for bio and math lecture. was superrrrr embarrassing because i was asked by mdm farrah to answer a question on acetylcholine and the synapse. thankfully i did the question till 1am plus the previous day, but... i somewhat answered a bit off. well, i did get the points [considering i spammed the entire page of answers which i gladly exhibited it to beatrice, robin and joyce] but being such a long answer, i accidentally answered extra and triggered sniggering from the entire LT5!! gosh. joyce and robin beside me were not helping either! covering their mouths and laughing while i answered my uber long answer... anw, like what joyce said, i didnt miss out on genting since we were experiencing genting in LT5!!! was uber cold yesterday at the seats 37 was sitting! lol the entire class applauded after my answer. wow.

went out to eat at pp's foodcourt in the basement after that. robing, matt, daniel, joyce, shawn, jasmine, freda, zi hou and i were there. chatted quite a bit and totally agreed that we were in dire need of more class gatherings. lol.

sat with colin for chem lecture today, after which i went with cavin, ruby, youngyee, sean, robin loh and bx to thaipan. rushed back to school for bio proj and then accompanied yq, cheryl, robinloh, jia en, jocelyn, claire, brandon and alex to cathay cineleisure to watch a movie. im trying to forget about it so yea. i really regret watching.

will look forward to next week. before that, i'm looking forward to thursday!! choir's rly fun :)

vjchoir rox. =)
