Te Alabare, Mi buen Jesus

Random stuff. But, it's pretty interesting except the personality test only has two extremes (2 scales)...the more scales the more accurate.

Rock of Ages


Rock of ages cleft for me
Hide me now my refuge be
Let the water and the blood
from your wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Cleanse me from its guilt and power

Not the labours of my hands
Can fulfill your laws demands
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow
All for sin could not atone
You must save, and you alone

Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to your cross I cling
Naked come to you for dress
Helpless look to you for grace
Stained by sin to You I cry
Wash me Saviour, or I die

While I draw this fleeting breath
When my eyelids close in death
When I soar through realms unknown
Bow before the judgement throne
Hide me then my refuge be
Rock of ages cleft for me.

Batu Karang yang teguh

Batu karang yang teguh
Kau tempatku berteduh
Karna dosaku berat
dan kuasanya menyesak
oh bersihkan diriku
oleh darah lambungMu

Walau aku berjerih
dan menangis tak henti
apapun usahaku
tak menghapus dosaku
hanya oleh KurbanMu
Kaus'lamatkan diriku

Tiada lain kupegang
Hanya salib dan iman
dalam kehampaanku
kudambakan rahmatMu
Tanpa dikau, Tuhanku
takkan hidup jiwaku

Bila tiba saatnya
kutinggalkan dunia
dan Kau panggil diriku
ke hadapan takhtaMu
Batu karang yang teguh
Kau tempatku berteduh

William Carey's Epitaph

William Carey

Born August 17the, 1761
Died June 9the, 1834
A wretched, poor, and helpless worm,
On Thy kind arms I fall.

The secret of his poor spirit is God's grace. The cure of self inadequacy is not self esteem but sovereign grace. Stop focussing on your inability but know and rely on God's ability.

The very last lap

Waw...the last week of fourth year food technology. Everyone is leaving to pursue something else in life. Kinda crazy. I have just submitted my last assignment at Uni. It was really difficult but I did my best. It was about SPC (Statistical Process Control) in a biscuit company. Well, they are trying to minimize variation, keeping the whole process under control, and meeting legal requirements. I still feel that I could have done better. But, oh well, really oh well. Lilis cant change it anymore, have handed it in. No point in worrying. God, I give it to your hands. I have also recieved my thesis back from my supervisor. I didnt feel very good. I think my thesis is sucks. Hehe. People find it very difficult to understand. I am trying to develop a model on calculating the amount of uncooked starch in a complex mixture. My thesis is only about one of the important variables that need to be taken account in a complex mixture. But, I only did the mathematical side of it which is developing the model. The main weakness of my thesis is the chemistry side of the starch (physicochemical charateristics). I only know very little. My boss reckons that I can master it but it seems to require a lot of time to study. Anyway, I cant complain really..one of the sisters is having 9 exams this semester and she still has 5 to go. My condition is way better than her.

Today, I was listening to Piper's sermon on not nullifying the grace of God. I am really excited to know more about the significance of the cross of Christ. I can totally rely on Him to reveal the knowledge and change my life. This sermon was about being liberated from legalism which sadly is sporadic in churches. If we can pay for ourselves to go to heaven, Christ came with no purpose. It is not sin to stop depending on works anymore. Praise be to God! I must confess that I have been living my christian life legalistically not knowing that it is pride. But, today I'd like to recommit my life back to Christ, that I am unable to reach God on my own strength but He graciously reaches out to me. I have the freedom in Christ, I can depend on Him for joy, peace, and righteousness...dont you think what He said is true...that He came so that we may have life and have it abundantly...

Some cool quotes I found while reading these days and I'd like to make it a personal prayer:

Take my will and make it Thine
It shall be no longer mine
Take my heart, it is Thine own
It shall be Thy royal throne

Frances Ridley Havergal


If you wish to be disappointed, look to others
If you wish to be downhearted, look to yourself
If you wish to be encouraged...look upon Jesus Christ

Erica Saure

Once it was the blessing
Now it is The Lord;
Once it was the feeling
Now it is His Word;
Once his gifts I wanted
Now the Giver Own;
Once I sought for healing
Now Himself alone.

A.B. Simpson

Beautiful aye? May the Lord bless you this week.
