If only I had the right to ask, I would really ask You for that one day. The day I’ve been looking forward to. The day when happiness and joy will be experienced in a whole new level beyond my thought. The day we shall meet, Lord…

This day was one of the exhausting day where I didn’t have the strength to give my life to You. It was one of those days where I clung to my own dreams and plans that You want to take out of my life. Though I know Your plan is gazillion times better than mine.

Lord, please take from me my life when I don’t have the strength to give it away to You. Please take away the “if only” attitude as well…

Amen.

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.
