Was reminded of this very nice song today when jolyn led us with this song at our crusade LM... first heard this song at my recent YM CAMP but forgot abt it till today...and its so ministering just listening to it! Anyways after all those researching on the Navy Diving Unit(NDU) vocation, reading forums, hearing opinions from many ppl and of course praying abt it...i think i have come to a decision that... I would just GIVE MY BEST in the NDU physical test on Feb 3, i wld share honestly my concerns during the interview...and if they still want to take me in after my sharing...i think ITS REALLY GOD's will already! hahha! Thanks joelle for that short affirmation too!!! =)
Anyways check out the song and lyrics below...
Knowing You
by Graham Kendrick
This song comes from words penned by the Apostle Paul while in jail, waiting execution. It touches the head and heart of the follower of Jesus Christ, because it lifts up our best friend as the most important "thing" in our lives.
All I once held dear, built my life upon,
all this world reveres and wars to own,
all I once thought gain I have counted loss,
spent and worthless now compared to this.
Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You.
There is no greater thing.
You're my all, You're the best, You're my joy,
my righteousness; and I love You, Lord.
Now my heart's desire is to know You more,
to be found in You and known as Yours,
to possess by faith what I could not earn,
all surpassing gift of righteousness.
Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You.
There is no greater thing.
You're my all, You're the best, You're my joy,
my righteousness; and I love You, Lord.
Oh, to know the pow'r of Your risen life,
and to know You in Your suffering,
to become like You in Your death,
My Lord, so with You to live and never die.
Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You.
There is no greater thing.
You're my all, You're the best, You're my joy,
my righteousness; and I love You, Lord.
Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You.
There is no greater thing.
You're my all, You're the best, You're my joy, my righteousness;
You're my all, You're the best, You're my joy, my righteousness;
You're my all, You're the best, You're my joy, my righteousness;
and I love You, Lord.
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. -- Philippians 3:7-11
Anywayssss I will be away at this crusade retreat on Friday to saturday called "Fellowship of the Burning Hearts" where a specific few students who have some desire to serve full time come together and share their struggles and concerns in doing so.
That short conversation with my staff,irene last wednesday, made me reflect back abt that very day God gave me some direction for my life, and to be honest i haven't thought or prayed abt this for quite awhile ever since a similar crusade retreat "About Finding Your Calling" at the bb hq few mths back...
And now with only few days to go to this FBH event at PraiseHaven on 16-17 Jan... i'm actually pretty excited to what God has install for me!
