Kalau saya ngga perhatiin liriknya, bisa jadi kaya yang di video ini:
Lalu saya penasaran, apa sih lagu yang yang ngetrend sekarang ini. Top 5 Songs dari Billboard untuk minggu ini:
1. Adele – Someone Like You
Ceritanya tentang seorang wanita yang mantannya sudah move on dalam hidup dan menikah dengan wanita lain. Jadi wanita ini bilang kalau dia ingin mencari pasangan hidup seperti mantannya ini. Pas mendengar lagu ini, kesan broken-hearted terasa sekali.
2. Maroon5 ft. Christina Aguilera – Moves Like Jagger
Jagger itu refer ke nama penyanyi rock, Mick Jagger. Penyanyi lagu ini ceritanya pengen jadi seperti Mick Jagger, penyanyi rock yang terkenal jaman dulu itu. Beberapa cuplikan dari liriknya:
Take me by the tongue
And I’ll know you
Kiss me ’til you’re drunk
And I’ll show you
…
I don’t need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I’ll own you
3. Foster The People – Pumped Up Kicks
Liriknya cerita kenakalan seorang anak yang bermain-main dengan shotgun punya bapaknya. Bapaknya bekerja seharian, jadi selalu terlambat pulang ke rumah. Berikut liriknya:
He’s got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he’s a cowboy kid.
Yeah he found a six shooter gun.
In his dads closet hidden in a box of fun things, and I don’t even know what.
But he’s coming for you, yeah he’s coming for you.
..
Daddy works a long day.
He be coming home late, yeah he’s coming home late.Chorusnya:
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you’d better run, better run, outrun my gun.
4. LMFAO – Party Rock Anthem
Kalau lagu ini dari nama band-nya aja udah ngaco. Liriknya pun bisa ditebak, isi mengajak untuk berpesta pora. Dari liriknya juga terlihat:
Party rock is in the house tonight
Everybody just have a good time
And we gonna make you lose your mind
Everybody just have a good time
Dan lirik lanjutannya, saya ngga rela untuk memasukkannya di blog ini, terlalu vulgar.
5. Nicki Minaj – Super Bass
Liriknya cerita tentang seorang wanita yang mencari seorang pria. Jaman sudah terbalik ya sampai sekarang wanita yang mencari pasangan hidup, bukan sebaliknya. Cuplikan liriknya:
When he make it drip, drip kiss him on the lip, lip
That’s the kind of dude I was lookin’ for
…
He just gotta give me that look, when he give me that look
Then the panties comin’ off, off, uh
Di posisi nomer 6 dan seterusnya, masih ada Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, dan penyanyi-penyanyi lain yang saya ngga pernah dengar namanya. Tapi dengan lagu yang bertema kekerasan, seks, abusive relationship, pesta pora, kebayang reaksi macam apa yang didapat dari orang yang mendengarnya?
Wew. Ngga aneh kalau kesehatan mental orang jaman sekarang lumayan mengkhawatirkan. Mungkin begitu ada trigger untuk berbuat anarkis aja, bisa langsung keluar sisi kekerasannya. Sama seperti kerusuhan di Vancouver dan Inggris beberapa waktu lalu. Anak belasan tahun pun ikut-ikutan menjarah. Moralnya bobrok.
Lagu apa yang kita dengar mempengaruhi bagaimana kita menyikapi hidup. Btw, lagu rohani jaman sekarang yang kontemporer, kesannya juga banyak yang “hauling”, kaya bersifat seperti raungan hidup, lamenting, beda dengan lagu-lagu rohani jaman dulu yang seperti lagunya Don Moen. Atau lagu-lagu hymn.
]]>Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Do you remember the moment when you “got it?” When you first realized you loved God with your heart, mind, and soul?

Joshua: "Lagi apa poh?"
Popoh: "Lagi masak..."
Joshua: "Masak apa poh?"
Popoh: "Masak soto..."
Joshua: "Soto apa poh?"
Popoh: "Soto ayam..."
Joshua: "Ayam apa poh?"
dst
Kadang, seperti yg dibilang di renungan itu, Tuhan itu nanya sama kita, “Lagi apa?”. Jawaban yang kita punya pasti macam-macam, bisa aja kita jawab, “Lagi cape, Tuhan”, “Lagi sedih, Tuhan”, “Lagi nonton tv, Tuhan”, “Lagi males-malesan, Tuhan”, “Lagi males ngomong sama Tuhan, Tuhan”.
Apapun jawabannya, kita dipanggil untuk memperhatikan bagaimana kita menjalani hidup. Ada satu lagu yang menurut saya bagus liriknya, Steve Curtis Chapman – Do Everything. Liriknya:

Little stuff big stuff in between stuff
God sees it all the same
And while I may not know you I bet I know you
Wonder sometimes does it matter at all
We’ll let me remind you it all matters just as long as you doEverything you do to the glory of the One who made you
Cause He made you
To do every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face
And tell the story of grace with every move that you make
And every little thing that you do
Paul and Silas prayed that night
And in their pain began to see
Their chains were loosed and they were free
Some midnight hour if you should find
You’re in a prison of your mind
Reach out praise, defy those chains
And they will fall in Jesus’ name
Ketika Dia serahkan anak-Nya
Kasih Allah mau berkorban bagi kau dan aku
Tak ada kasih seperti kasih-Mu
Bersyukur, bersyukur, bersyukurlah
Bersyukur kar’na kasih setia-Mu
Kusembah, kusembah, kusembah dan kusembah
S’lama hidupku, kusembah Kau Tuhan
Hidupmu singkat bagaikan kembang
Mana benda yang kekal dihidupmu?
Hanyalah kasih tak akan lekang
Tiada yang baka didalam dunia
S’gala yang indahpun akan lenyap
Namun kasihMu demi Tuhan Yesus
Sungguh bernilai dan tinggal tetap
Jangan menyia-nyiakan waktumu
Hibur dan tolonglah yang berkeluh
Biarlah lampumu t’rus bercahaya
Muliakanlah Tuhan dihidupmu
Neraka dapat direngkuh, kartikapun tergapailah.
Kar’na kasihNya agunglah, Sang Putra menjelma,
Dia mencari yang sesat dan diampuniNya.
Reff:
O kasih Allah agunglah! Tiada bandingnya!
Kekal teguh dan mulia! Dijunjung umatNya
Pabila zaman berhenti dan tahta dunia pun lebur,
meskipun orang yang keji telah menjauh dan takabur,
namun kasihNya tetaplah, teguh dan mulia.
Anug’rah bagi manusia, dijunjung umatNya.
Andaikan laut tintanya dan langit jadi kertasnya,
andaikan ranting kalamnya dan insan pun pujangganya,
takkan genap mengungkapkan hal kasih mulia
dan langit pun takkan lengkap memuat kisahnya.

The Love of God
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.
Reff:
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints’ and angels’ song.
When hoary time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
The saints’ and angels’ song.
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
Be still and know that He is holy
Be still, O restless soul of mine
Bow before the Prince of peace
Let the noise and clamor cease
Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know that He is faithful
Consider all that He has done
Stand in awe and be amazed
And know that He will never change
Be still
Be still, and know that He is God
Be still, and know that He is God
Be still, and know that He is God
Be still; Be speechless
Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know He is our Father
Come rest your head upon His breast
Listen to the rhythm of His unfailing heart of love
Beating for His little ones
Calling each of us to come
Be still, Be still..
Or help me clean my room all day
Why would you let me use your stereo
Or save me the middle of your Oreo
Why would you always try to be
there when I really really need you there to care
You’re always willing to share
Love makes a friend be a friend like you
Love takes a friendship and turns it into
Something to last your whole life through
Love makes a friend be a friend like you
What makes you wanna give your heart away
What makes open up and say
All of the feelings that you hold inside
All of the secrets that you try to hide
Why would you always try to be
There when I really really need you there to care
You’re always willing to share
Love makes a friend be a friend like you
Love takes a friendship and turns it into
Something to last for all life through
Love makes a friend be a friend like you
Love makes a friend be a friend like you

]]>In this time of fear when prayers so often proves in vain. Hope seems like the summer birds, too swiftly flown away. Yet now I’m standing here. My heart’s so full I can’t explain. Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I’d say.
]]>Tadi pagi sambil kerja sambil dengerin lagunya Jay Chou. Sebenernya gak ngefans ato gmana sih, cuma kebetulan lagu ini tuh baru dapet dari harddisk temen. Ada bagian di lagunya yang kaya lagu di pelem silat.lol. Penasaran sama arti liriknya, tadinya mo nanya LG, tetangga satu RT yang bukan cuma ngerti mandarin tapi biasanya lengkap dengan komentar2 aneh & lucu.lol. Untungnya google cukup membantu juga buat translate. Ternyata liriknya mellow2 tentang berpisah.
Inget LG jadi inget hari Jumat kudu perhatiin yang jadi MC. Jadi MC ngapain aja, selama ini gak terlalu perhatiin.
Lagu kedua…baru denger kemaren di utub. Lagu Stand by Me…versinya so far bisa jadi versi paling bagus…uhuy!
as a note, bisa jadi ini blog post pertama yang isinya agak random. hmmm….jarang2 nulis spt ini.
]]>And do not fear
Though winds of change may rage tomorrow
God is at your side
No longer dread
The fires of unexpected sorrow
God You are my God
And I will trust in You and not be shaken
Lord of peace renew
A steadfast spirit within me
To rest in You alone
Still my soul be still
Do not be moved
By lesser lights and fleeting shadows
Hold onto His ways
With shield of faith
Against temptations flaming arrows
Still my soul be still
Do not forsake
The Truth you learned in the beginning
Wait upon the Lord
And hope will rise
As stars appear when day is dimming
To receive the food of Your Holy Word.
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory.
Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
Holy reverence, true humility;
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity.
Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority.
Words of pow’r that can never fail—
Let their truth prevail over unbelief.
Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us—
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity.
And by grace we’ll stand on Your promises,
And by faith we’ll walk as You walk with us.
Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory.
God cannot solve
There is no mountain too tall
He cannot move
There is not storm too dark
God cannot calm
There is no sorrow too deep
He cannot soothe
If He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
I know, my brother that He will carry you
If He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
I know, my sister that He will carry you
He said come on to me all who are weary
And I will give you rest
Cover me within Your mighty hands
Find rest my soul in Christ alone
Know his power in quietness and trust
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God
Kuatkanlah Hatimu
Lewati Setiap Persoalan
Tuhan Yesus Slalu Menopangmu
Jangan Berhenti Harap Padanya
Tuhan Pasti Sanggup
Tangannya Takkan Terlambat
Tuk Mengangkatmu
Tuhan Masih Sanggup
Percayalah Dia Tak Tinggalkanmu
(Dia Kan Mengangkatmu)
Banyak perkara yang tak dapat ku mengerti.
Mengapakah harus terjadi di dalam kehidupan ini?
Suatu perkara yang ku simpan dalam hati
Tiada satupun kan terjadi tanpa Allah perduli
Allah mengerti, Allah peduli segala persoalan yg kita hadapi
Tak akan pernah di biarkanya ku bergumul sendiri
Sbab Allah mengerti
***
Aku mengampuni engkau…
