Download: [PDF] [MP3] Together One Last Time Words and Music by Jed Asaph Cortes Feels like a happy ending But my heart’s burning sore Pleading heaven’s gates If I could ask more But this is all I have And this is all we can take Cherish everything That this moment can make Now here we [...]
When Ptr. Do first introduced this song during one of our worship services, I was moved. Indeed, when God is near, “how can I stray, how can I falter?” My God is Near Words and Music by Mac Lynch Make me know your presence Lord, the King of Glory here. You know each thought and [...]
Break Down The High Places God has His way of getting back what utterly belongs to Him—whole-hearted devotion. I didn’t know I was building an idol out of an affection. No, affections are not wrong. But I think this one is. I even managed to convince myself that it was right. I thought talking about [...]
Only the dim light from the porch lit my room. I lied down and plugged in my big headphones. I listened to ‘Long Look‘ once again. I closed my eyes and tried to feel the song. I opened my eyes—complete darkness. Am I blind? How will I face the world with blindness? I have had [...]

I am dedicating this one to Ivone.
It’s the only thing worth life and death. It’s the first moment and the final breath. It’s a broken heart keeping a solemn vow And a lost soul being found. You pray for faith when it’s hard to believe. You choose to stay when it’s easy to leave And when hope is gone you’re the [...]
Selah is a Hebrew word frequently used in Psalms. It has no equivalent in any other language but I love to define it as “Amen”, pause, silence and contemplation.
