Occasional Green Pastures and Quiet Waters

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know, “Thus saith the Lord!”

Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.

If I ever had a favourite song, it would be this. The way it reminds me of that assurance I have in my LORD and Saviour, and of the promise He made to all His children, nothing else has achieved. So simple, so child-like. Read Matthew 18:2-4.

Somewhere, beyond the sea,

Somewhere, waiting for me,

My lover stands on golden sands

And watches the ships that go sailing;

Somewhere beyond the sea,
She's  there watching for me.
If I could fly like birds on high,
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing.

It's far beyond a star,
It's near beyond the moon,
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon.

We'll meet beyond the shore,
We'll kiss just as before.
Happy we'll be beyond the sea,
And never again I'll go sailing!

ha... as if there'd be anybody waiting for me. Still, no harm being perasan. Besides, it'd be a waste of a good song, too. 

lol.

Listen to this one:

What did the Black Eyed Peas say to the Char Kuey Teow auntie?

"Mai ham, mai ham, mai ham! (don't want cockles)" hehe. Get it?

lol.

This is a song I heard for the first time tonight at a concert performance. I was rather amused after listening to this song being sung with such a straight face and was the only one trying very hard not to laugh. I suppose you'll know why after you've seen the lyrics.

Come all ye maidens young and fair

And you that are blooming in your prime

Always beware and keep your garden fair

Let no man steal away your thyme

For thyme it is a precious thing

And thyme brings all things to my mind

Thyme with all its flavours, along with all its joys

Thyme, brings all things to my mind

Once, she had a bunch of thyme

She thought it never would decay

Then came a saucy sailor

Who chanced to pass her way

And stole her bunch of thyme away

The sailor gave to her a rose

A rose that never would decay

He gave it to her to keep her reminded

Of when he stole her thyme away

Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Sometimes when we spend too much time worrying about our future, or planning our next step, we forget. We forget a lot of things, and one of them is that God will provide in His own timing, and that He is on our side. So, be still, my soul. Let not all the those worrisome thoughts bother you.

Quick! We have but a second, 

Fill round the cup while you may:

For Time, the churl, hath beckon'd,

And we must away, away!

Grasp the pleasure that's flying, 

For Oh!

Not Orpheus' strain could keep sweet hours from dying,

Or charm them to life again.

Then quick! We have but a second,

Fill round the cup while you may,

For Time, the churl, hath beckon'd,

And we must away, away! 

See the glass how it flushes,

Like some young Hebe's lip,

And half meets thine, and blushes

That thou should delay to sip.

Shame, Oh Shame unto thee,

If e'er thou see that day

When a cup or lip shall woo thee,

and turn untouched away.

Trust in the Lord and don't despair

He is a Friend so true.

No matter what your troubles are

Jesus will see you through

Sing when the day is bright

Sing throught the darkest night

Everyday, all the way

Let us sing!
