Here is Love

Here is love vast as the ocean
Loving kindness as the flood
When the Prince of life, our ransom
Shed for us His precious blood
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten
Throughout Heaven's eternal days

On the Mount of Crucifixion
Fountains opened deep and wide
Through the floodgates of God's mercy
Flowed a vast and gracious tide
Grace and love, like mighty rivers
Poured incessant from above
And Heaven's peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love

Let us all His love accepting
Love Him ever all our days
Let us seek His Kingdom only
And our lives be to His praise
He alone shall be our glory
Nothing in the world we see
He has cleansed and sanctified us
He Himself has set us free

In His truth He does direct me
By His Spirit through His Word
And His grace my need is meeting
As I trust in Him, my Lord
All His fullness He is pouring
In His love and power in me
Without measure
Full and boundless
As I yield myself to Thee

The love song of the 1904 Welsh Revival
William Rees (1802-1883)

Out for the count

Well I have been away for a looooong time. It's awful but life just does not allow me to blog anymore. Turning 30, getting married in 54 days, apartment hunting, juggling the day to day life of Africa Revolution, support raising, being involved in church & community and trying to love jesus well is proving to be more than I can do in 24hrs. So for now I am going to officially check out for a while. Keep us in your prayers.

For those of you interested in our wedding stuffs, you can check us out at www.allanandannie.com

p.s thanks Arloa for your sermon at church today. Isaiah 58, one of my fav passages, became more alive in my heart as you spoke. Glad you are at the River. Thanks again my RC3 fam for your ridiculous gift and for being pretty much the coolest peeps around!

see y'all later

The 3 greatest things on the web this week

Line Rider - for unending hours of pleasure. Serious...forget PS3. I love this game. (thanks Bac)

FREE on iTunes - A 35min inside look at Bono and his mission to Africa. (thanks iTunes)

Bloodline by Kristen Ashburn - a stunning short video. AIDS and Family is the story of these men, women and their children. Ashburn’s photographs are heartbreaking. But they also tell us of something more. They remind us of how tenuous our connection is to each other. In doing so, they show that what matters most is the care we give to those in need. (thanks Miano)
