Cogitations in Motion

Today I finally get to serve in church as part of the worship team. A real privilege.

May Jesus receive all the honour that He’s due.

Excited!

I have to get it off my chest.

I am tempted to buy another Electric guitar and this time it will be a Fender Stratocaster.

Why Fender?

I really don’t know but I remember playing one which my church friend had many years ago and the tone and the way I felt while playing it made me feel as if I’m Mr Clapton himself. Do I need a technical reason? Every buying decision is backed by a logical and an emotional reason yah?

Logical reason – It’s time to upgrade. It’s at a discount. It’s value for money.

Emotional reason – I feel good playing it.

Unfortunately I am also hoping to get a few other stuffs to complement my existing CORT E. Guitar which is a Line6 Pod-XT. So many wishes and yet the resources have not manifested yet.

I have almost never saved for anything but if I’m gonna buy a new E-guitar, I will have to start saving for it.

Anything decent probably costs above $1000 but I am open to 2nd hand axes. Any Fender Strats to recommend anyone?

One song that I really like. With truth satisfying many questions people ask.

Proverbs 19:22
“What man desires is unfailing love…”

It Is Your Love (Nothing in this world can satisfy me)

Verse
Nothing in this world can satisfy me
Jesus You alone can fill me up
I can gain the world and all its treasures
But all these things will never be enough

Chorus:
It is Your love
It is Your goodness
It is Your kindness and compassion
That fills me up inside

It is Your grace
Your tender mercies
It is Your presence in my life
That satisfies

Enjoy this short video.

One of my favorite songs on the latest New Creation Album The Perfect Offering. Pardon the few moments of coarse throatism due to heavy feasting at Japanese buffet 2 hours before. Song original key is in F. However I played it in E with Capo on 2nd fret.

Unfortunately due to copyright infringement the video was taken off YouTube, well hope the video is enjoyable still.

Covenant

Verse 1:
Surely You were broken
So that I may be whole
Surely You were beaten
So that grace may unfold
As I look at the cross
I remember You
How my healing was bought
At the price of Your wounds

Verse 2:
Surely You were wounded
Previous blood was spilled
Surely You were forsaken
For my sake You endured
Tears from heaven fell
As You were whipped and scourged
My forgiveness was sealed
By this covenant in blood

Chorus:
I thank You Lord, I thank You Lord
You are the Lamb of God
Who takes away my sin
No longer I but You live in me
As You are so am I in this world

Bridge:
As I eat of Your body
I remember You
As I drink of Your blood
I see my life renewed
