Festival of Praise 2008

I can't believe i went for 2 consecutive nights. Haha..but it was time worth spending to be soaked in the presence of God with fellow believers from various churches. This year 2 groups came to bless us with their worship songs. Parachute Band and Rueben Morgan with his team. Personally I prefer Rueben coz he is leading worship. While I find Parachute band performing more than leading worship. Also,the band plays rock music. Old people like me dun take rock music very well. So Rueben is good for me =) There's this other lady that came with Rueben and she has such unique and powerful voice. Mel and I felt in love with her voice. I hope i got her name correctly - Jill Mccloghry. Lovely voice. The drummer in Rueben's team is awesome too!

The speaker is Mark Conner from Melbourne. When they first introduced the speaker I was afraid I couldnt understand him. I'm really bad at australian ascent. Haha..he spoke with an amercian ascent instead. So it was easy. He is super duper funny! Love his jokes. However sometimes he lapsed into motivational talks. Cant catch his biblical principals. Maybe I'm too slow to catch it? I dunnoe.

Looking at how massive this entire event is...i wonder how much money was spent...hmmmm

Looking at the hands that were lifted during worship...i thought it would be a total mockary to God if lives were not been transformed...in fact not only during this event but back in our church as well.

Was really touched by this song. Heard it on Cds, sang it in church but singing it today gives a different perspective.

From The Inside Out
by Hillsong United

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Chorus 2x

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out

Singing it in this season of my life...indeed my hear cries out that He alone is sufficient and His glories extends to the ends of this earth.

Love you God.
