Of Chinese and Hokkien P&W Songs….. :)

June 10, 2010

Had a friend who sent me a link to a song sang during their Chinese Service, plus a song that we sang for grandma during the hokkien funeral service… sorta spoke to me more than normal. Thought I’d share them here since I’ve been singing them  aloud, as in really aloud, when I was going about in the plant the last few days checking on stuff…..haha…..yeap, amidst the sound of crude oil flowing vigourously in pipes, the whine of motors spinning at several thousand RPM, who would be able to hear me?? hahah……. bleah :P

Hope they minister to you as they did me!!

Reconciliation

June 7, 2010

Grandma passed on peacefully a week ago. No struggling, no crying in pain. She just slept and her heart came to a gradual stop.

The last glimmer of hope dimmed and vanished into the shadows.

No forgiveness. No reconciliation.

Is it difficult to say “I’m sorry”? 

Must we cling on so tenaciously to a wounded pride and continually insist on what we deem to be rightfully ours?

What can we consider as ours any way? 

Do we really have any rights?

Burdened so heavily by the need for reconciliation, I can only turn to the cross for now.

“….at the cross I bow my knee,  where your love was shed for me, there’s no greater love than this…. you have overcome the grave, your glory fills the highest place, what can separate me now…”
