Saving me

When you stretch your hand to touch a life, is your life not touched by it as well? When you walk the extra mile to help someone, are you being helped in the process as well? When God sends us to bless someone, I believe He is also sending that someone to bless you. Many have realised that being a blesser means being blessed as well. The bible says: Refresh others, and you yourself will be refreshed. What an absolutely true fact. I sometimes think, serving in a ministry is for THEIR sake, is for the purpose of helping THEM. But I realise, serving has saved me, has helped me so much, has given ME joy, everything i want to offer the ministry i receive it myself. What an honour what a blessing what a privilegde it is! Its a cycle, you love the lost with a love that only comes from God, and at the same time you receive Gods love through helping the lost. Help me Lord, I am weak, help me want to serve you

V1
All along I was under this impression
That I was sent to you
But now I see that you were sent to me

Coming here, I feel so strongly for you
a feeling so strong that does not come from me

I wont receive this grace in vein
I'll release you from this pain brought by these chains
But finally, now I see
That the one thats being saved is me

Chorus
Thought I did this all for nothing
But its for something, bigger than me
You see I thought I was helping you
But really its you whos helping me

V2
Break away, from the things that get you by
Come let me teach you, how to spread these broken wings and fly

But understand, that if I had not grabbed your hand
I would have fallen off the edge on the other end

When I say, I love you
Know that these words I say is true
You may not say, the same to me
But I know that these words are said through you

Chorus
Thought I did this all for nothing
But its for something, bigger than me
You see I thought I was helping you
But really its you whos helping me
And the smile on your face is everything I look forward to see


I remember the day
I got on this ship not knowing where it would take me
Its been rough on the way
But not one day I regret this journey

Nothing in Exchange

Quoting main character evaines words from the movie stardust; "Love is unconditional, uncontrollable, unbearable.. Its like my heart belongs to you, and ill give it to you, asking for nothing in exchange, only that you love me the same way" I have to agree her words, not only in the way mankind loves each other, but isnt it a good description of Gods love for us? Afterall, mankind can only love each other becos God loved in the first place, and all love comes from God afterall. But what love is more unconditional, more unbearable, more true than that of the Father in Heaven? Who came down to die, asking for nothing in exchange? even when we sin against Him over and over, even when we fall short of His grace, He still loves us all the same..for theres nothing we can exchange for his love, but all He ask is that we love Him back. Unending Love, Amazing Grace.

V1
Where do I begin, where do I even start?
Of everything that keeps us apart
And I ask for nothing, but ill ask just this one thing..
Do you feel the same?

Cos I love you, and theres nothing you can do about that
Nothing you can say, nothing will outweigh
Cos theres no price I would not pay.
And you can give me..

Chorus
Nothing in exchange
You may never have heard of me
I could just be a distant figure
And you can hurt me over and over...
But I will still love and care for you
And I will still wait for you
And I hope that youll love me back, and I hope that you love me back

V2
If only you could realise, if only you could recognise
My love is all that you need
And this song will not be enough, cos words just are not enough
To explain the depth of my love

My love is strong, stronger than youll ever know
Nothing you can do or say, would be able to repay
And I give this love for..Nothing in exchange
(chrous)


Anywhere you are, I would be there for you
And to the depths of the grave, I went there for you
Come and take my hand, and your search will come to an end

Trust me when I say, that I am the way
when I speak the truth, that I am the truth
I have given you my life, cos I am the life


No matter what the cost, I would do it again
Cos when everything is lost, my love will remain

Nothing in exchange
You may not even know who I am
I might just be a distant figure
And you might break my heart over and over..
But unconditional love
Came down to die from heaven above
Just for the hope that youll love me back
Just for the hope that youll love me back

one day spent with you

If I could count the stars in the sky, could it compare to the many times, I broke Your heart, but still here you are with open arms...

Don't keep running away from the best thing that happened to you
Dont keep throwing away the greatest gift of all

One day

V1
How could I not see, what stares right at me back
I think its about time, this faith gets back on track

Cos I would rather sit as the doorkeeper of your house
then dwell as a king elsewhere
Each time as you come by youd look right down on me and smile
and thats where ill be

Chorus
Thought I was fine on my own, but without you I cant live
Thought I was strong but now I know, that without you I cant live
Cos bettter is one day spent with you, then a thousand spent without
Better is one day spent with you, then a thousand spent without

V2
What brings me, back here, what brings me here at last
Is the knowledge, is the fact, that without you I cant last
Ive felt this, this feeling, I felt this way before
What was I thinking when I walked right out the door

Cos I would rather sit as the doorkeeper of your house
Then dwell as a king elsewhere, then dwell as a king elsewhere

Chorus
Thought I was fine on my own, but without you I cant live
Thought I was strong but now I know, that without you I cant live
Cos bettter is one day spent with you, then a thousand spent without
Better is one day spent with you, then a thousand spent without

Bridge
The crowd thinks im out of my mind
But everyday I find
Im more in love with you

Cos these eyes, these eyes that were blind
They now see only you
They wont turn, turn from you anymore
