Okay so no one really reads this space because there isn't anything to read anyway....
It's a been a long time since I've posted. School has started and I've been tremendously busy, new J1s coming in, trainings for Nationals, yada yada. I'm sure the rest of you are also dreading school as much as I am.. every. single. day. It's like nooooooooo.......... (think slo-mo)

Just wanna encourage you peepz as we trudge through school, let's take each day at a time, and remember that God is sovereign in all situations. No matter how much we dread school (ok me), dread homework, dread some of our lessons/teachers/schoolmates, dread emotional problems. God is on top of everything.

Anyway, just wanted to share a few new songs with you guys, they're from Parachute Band. Not sure if you guys have heard them, but this is from their (relatively) new album- Technicolour.
What I like about Parachute Band is that even though each instrument is playing so elaborately, they still manage to play as one and nobody overshadows the other. Perhaps we can learn something from them. Not to forget, their lyrics are also honest and very simple. It can be a simple cry to God or a prayer to Him.

Check it out!

1. Come to the River, reminds me of Maroon 5. ;)


Let me drink from the living water,
Bringing life to my very core.
In the midst of my desperation, Jesus.

When I'm dry running on the empty,
Flow your streams of life through me.
You're the life giving water, Jesus.

Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.
Wash me clean, wash me clean.

In this place we have found freedom,
Cleansing streams have set us free.
You are all that we ever need, Jesus, Jesus.

Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.
Wash me clean, wash me clean.

Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.
Come through me, wash me clean.

I give You all of the praise,
No one else will ever take Your place, Your place.
I give You all of my days
No one else will ever take Your place, Your place.

Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.
Wash me clean, wash me clean.

Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.
Flow through me, wash me clean.


2. Living Rain (this is my fave)


We Your people come
In desperate need to You we run
Called by Your great name
With humble hearts we seek Your ways

We believe in faith
Your promises will never break
Turn from wicked ways
To live as Christ for all our days

Oh God high up in heaven
Won't You heal our land

Living rain, fall again
Over my life over my land
Living rain wash my heart again

Open wide, heaven skies
Over my street oh Spirit reside
Living rain flood my life again

Come back, back to your first love
Back to your first love
Back to the Cross

Come back, back to your first love
Back to your first love
At the foot of the Cross

-Jill
