Light of the world,

You stepped down into darkness

Opened my eyes, let me see

Beauty that made this heart adore You

Hope of my life spent with You


And here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God

You're altogether lovely

Altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me


King of all days

Oh, so highly exalted

Glorious in heaven above

Humbly You came to the earth You created

All for love's sake became poor


I'll never know how much it cost

To see my sin upon that cross

*.* Suicidal tendencies?God intervened!! *.*

Hey man we dun have to feel suicidal or anything.let me tell u my personal story.I give u permission to laugh at this:

IN the year 2004 i was feeling complacent.I didnt much study and took my O's at the end of the year.Feeling a false sense of confidence...i just studied the topics i was strong at and thinking that i could pass and get into polytechnic.I was in a state of illusion and perhaps i really thought that even if i failed i could get in Nanyang academy of Fine arts(NAFA).Once i attended their open house and these student guide took me on a tour and said that some who flunk O levels had no where to go and chose this place.But as long as u have passion for the arts,it doesnt matter,as long as u passed ur english.Simple requirement?yes. so i tot that this would be my ideal plan should i fail!!!

Unexpectedly my hopes were dashed.I got back my results with an L1R4 of 26.U may think i had passed,but i Got E8 for math to be frank.My parents tole me to re-take ( i was reluctant to.). They said that NAFA had expensive school fees and didnt want to spend so much on me there.Well i just had to re take my O's,regardless.

I stepped into City Harvest Education Centre (CHEC) for my course in retaking the paper.As usual my grades and results plunged in class tests. Feeling increasingly despondent,my suicidal tendencies increased until finally one day i cried for like 1 whole hour.Can u imagine that?I had poured everything out to my sister and she was shocked.She commented that:"you've got suicidal tendencies?wah,that's scary, u know!!Dont't u think its scary too??" I thought so.But ever since letting it out into the light, i felt better. It was then God seemed to knock me on the head and say:
"yan chen,why are u so silly?didnt my word said that trials are to test ur faith
so it can come out as pure as gold?And that u will have the grace of my son
Jesus Christ to perfect what is lacking in u??"
Also from the following days reading the word i found out the his ways are higher than my ways,his thoughts higher than mine,and that he can do exceedingly abundantly more than i can ask or think of,according to the power that works in me.

Today ,because of that, i have learnt to make failure a part of life to bring out the patience and perserverance in me (in the blog quote above).Thank you,Lord!!!!U're a guide in every area of my life!!!!!and he is ur Boss,CEO,Knowledge and research partner,whatever occupation u are,he can be ur Chairman!!!
