Whom Shall I Fear?

The Holy Week has just passed. It's supposed to be Easter now, but my heart is still carrying the cross of Good Friday.  I thought the persecutions would end at Good Friday, but i was wrong.  Day and night i feared the lashes of the enemy.  I felt like a newly washed cloth afraid to be stained.  I walked with so much fear that any step i take could lead me back to sin, could let me fall from grace.  Oh, i felt so alone in this walk Lord.  But i know you'll never allow me to fall when all else in my life is falling. You'll never forsake me in my weakness. 


You have this song "Whom Shall I Fear" by Lincoln Brewster played in my heart at the right moment to remind me of who You are.


"When all You are is glorious Oh God
Victorious and Strong,
Whom Shall I fear.
When all You are is powerful and true
And good in all You do
Whom shall i fear,
Whom shall i fear.


I know You're with me in the fire
You never leave me in the flame
I know Your thoughts are so much higher
And all Your ways are not my ways."

I Surrender

With the Holy Week fast approaching, my media player is all songs on God's compassion.  I felt the need to get in tune to the spirit of brokenness, repentance and humility, coz my mind is all agog of work, concerns and even sin.  It's as if my mind is stuffed with all sort of things and i just couldn't squeezed in the thought about God anymore.  The kind of feeling where you seem so helpless that you resigned yourself and just stare at a blank wall because you don't know which thing to do first.  I was at my breaking point.  I was asking myself, what is the point of doing all these things - work, home, ministry?  It felt as if i've lost my mojo.  I can' find that single spark to do things with inspiration.  Not even things of God. I have that feeling all week, a sinking feeling.

But then one song hit me.  And it hit hard enough to awaken the single living sense left within me.  

That song  was "Surrender" by Lincoln Brewster.  I realized that i just have to raise my hands and lift it up to the skies and just surrender.  Like a defeated soldier, weary in a battle against one's own pride and sinfulness, I am waving my white flag to the Lord.  I surrender all to you Lord - my worries, my sins, my life, my world.  I'm laying down my rights, Come and take over.  Hold me captive in Your arms.  If I should be in chains, better be enchained in Your love.  I am on my knees, break my heart O God and strip me to the core of my soul.  I surrender all to you.

I'm giving you my heart, and all that is within

I lay it all down for the sake of you my King

I'm giving you my dreams, I'm laying down my rights

I'm giving up my pride for the promise of new life

And I surrender all to you, all to you

And I surrender all to you, all to you

I'm singing You this song, I'm waiting at the cross

And all the world holds dear, I count it all as loss

For the sake of knowing You for the glory of Your name

To know the lasting joy, even sharing in Your pain

You created me inside Your great imagination

You're the One who gave me my first breath

You have overseen my life and brought me to redemption

And I know that You're not finished with me yet

I'm reaching for You

I'm singing to You

I'm lifting my hands to praise You

I'm lifting my voice to thank You

I'm reaching for You

Jesus I need You

I'm giving my heart to know You

I'm living my life to serve You

I'm reaching for You

You're the one who spoke the Word of life to light my darkness

You opened up my eyes 'til I could see

Jesus You have promised to complete the work You started

Faithful to fulfill Your grace in me

Pour out Your love from heaven

Fill me until I overflow Lord I want more

Reach down Your hands from heaven

Pull me closer than ever before Lord I want more

Pour out Your love from heaven

Fill me until I overflow 'cause I want more

Reach down Your hands from heaven

Pull me closer than ever before Lord I want more

Oh I'm reaching

God I'm reaching for You
