Shout to the Lord

"Shout to the Lord" is a popular worship anthem, written by singer/songwriter Darlene Zschech in 1993, published by Hillsong Music Australia. It is sung regularly at many Christian churches, festivals and youth gatherings.

My Jesus, my Saviour
Lord there is none like You
All of my days I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love

My comfort, my shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You

Shout to the Lord
All the Earth, let us sing
Power and majesty
Praise to the King
Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name

I sing for joy at the work
Of Your hand
Forever I'll love You
Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares
To the promise I have In You

Journey

Song titled 'Journey', sung by Angela Zhang for Mandarin series 'Dolphin Bay', probably the one and only Asian song I very like to hear more than once. I never watch the series, frankly, so I never know what kind of story it is.

For me, this song is like pouring my heart out, a regret and a pray, ask God to cure my painful feelings and to release me from my own burden.

It's a long, long journey
Till I know where I'm supposed to be
It's a long, long journey
And I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long, long journey
Till I find my way home to You

Many days I've spent
Drifting on through empty shores
Wondering what's my purpose
Wondering how to make me strong

I know I will falter, I know I will cry
I know You'll be standing by my side
It's a long, long journey
And I need to be close to You

Sometimes it feels no one understands
I don't even know why I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul
Will You break down these walls and pull me through?

'Cause it's a long, long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on Calvary
Beneath those stormy skies

When satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
'Cause it's a long, long journey
Till I find my way home to You

Isn't He great when He understands me while no one can?; when He answers, consoles me and wipes my tears when no one can?; when He forgives me for things I don't even know why I do?; for His staying when I am left behind all alone; for He never late in helping. And for thousands things and blessings I receive.

Though it's very painful, He promises me the best things in my life, and He will standing by my side during my journey. This is how He works in building me. Praise The Lord.

God bless you.

Precious Lord, Take my hand,
Lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Through the storm, Through the night,
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, Lead me home

When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I’m weak, I’m lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
