His Anthem

Easter day, a day with different meaning to many people. For some its a day where the easter bunnies hide easter eggs and chocolate bunnies. For some, its a chance to collect easter eggs on the pet society neighbourhood. Others its a time in which you will want to avoid the Jalan Gasing stretch coz it will be packed with cars.

For me, as a child, easter was always the time where popo Vivian comes and gives everyone in the children church a hard boiled egg each. It was also the time where u get dramas in which the large wooden cross that is stored in the back stage is used. I remembered once they did a drama in which they had to carry the corss with a person lyin on top of it (i always wondered how he managed to balance) and also we did "Sunday's on the way" by carmen for one year, or was that two :)

This year, was a little different from others. Yes being a christian we all know that, Jesus died on good friday and ressurected on easter, but still sometimes we do take for granted, how much this means.

Today, Pastor Chris lead the worhsip and his song list was really in line in telling the meaning of easter. He started off with "Salvation is here" by Planet shakers, then did the classic Ron Kenloy "Hallelujah, Jesus is alive", then Followed by "Majesty" and "One Day"
Worship songs were "Because he lives" and "The Anthem"

Though it seemed like really normal songs, but the two worship songs really brought out the easter message, plus what PAstor Chris said while introducing the songs, it was really an awesome session. "Because He lives" by itself says a lot

Because He lives
I can face tmr
Because He lives
All fear is gone
And because I know
I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives

Man, that song really hits the note. And its so direct. Followed by "The Anthem", for me, the praise and worship session was good enough to last the whole week.

Hallelujah, He has won the victory
Hallelujah, He has won it all for me
Death could not hold You down
You are the risen king
Seated in majesty
You are the risen king

He has won it all for me!! that is really comforting, especially during exam times haha. Glad that i have a King, Father, God and Friend that really cares so much for me.
