HOSANNA!

I heard the most beautiful worship song during the prayer time for "No One Else". When I reached home I swore it's a Hillsong United song. I took no notice of it until yesterday afternoon when I drove to Sim Lim to settle some technical stuff for work. I took along the "I (Heart) Revolution" CD along when I discovered Hosanna was in it and I had a moment during my drive where I am totally surrounded by God's presense that I almost couldn't drive normally. So I drove slowly and cautiously and prayed. That moment came when the song hit the bridge which is a prayer of my heart. I thought it reflected a prayer in my heart and so I rewind to the bridge again and again and everytime the conviction of "yea and amen" became louder and louder in my heart. Besides the bridge of the song, the extra words I prayed on the wheels were "Not now Lord, Not now (I'm driving)!"


Hosanna (Bridge only) by Brooke Fraser


Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart with what breaks Yours
Everthing I am for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity


Dear God,

as I finally settle down to family life where ministry now starts within the family

(yes, it has taken me so long to settle down),

everything seems to come together just fine -

only when everything is settled down with Christ in my heart, soul and mind.

May be I have not attained the perfection of husband,

but my heart to be healed and made clean daily;

but I have an awareness of

praying,

praising

and worshipping God

with and for my

family,

work

and dealings with others a

"Kingdom's cause";

that in all I do my eyes will be opened "to the things unseen";

that I will love God, my family and others just "like (God) has loved me";

that I will have Godly thoughts in Jesus through the Holy Spirit

so that what "breaks God's heart" will break mine.

Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause

as I walk from earth into eternity.

So NOW, Lord, drive me!!

Amen
