O !

O ! how difficult it is
to describe the joy of those who are safe enough at heart
to believe all that is true about Jesus,
the son of God.

O ! how happy, how coolly blessed are their minds
them who steer clear of the rocks of doubt
and the sandbars of mistrust in God.

O ! How terrible it is to sing a song to Jesus
while none of the words mean a thing to the voice that sings.

O ! How horrifying to preach and to encourage
while doubts poison the nerves of the speaker's spirit.

O ! How sad it is when you dont see and
so, you just cant believe the truths about Jesus and His Father in Heaven.

O ! How much more worse would have been to
live while Jesus was living and
to not believe Him while He was at arm's length and uncrucified.

O !
How great is Your unfailing love.
Your mercy towards me endures forever..


Do i believe that?

O !

How to spoil the mood of the song.

Here Without You lyrics- 3 Dooors Down.

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me

Substitute 'Yeshu' for 'Baby' and i will ruin the song for you.
Haha!

< PRONE >

a Hymn i heard at church.



Prone to wander, Lord i feel it,

Prone to leave the God i love,


Here's my heart Lord,

Take and seal it,


Seal it for Thy courts above.


We dont see the enemy, but the enemy is real. Pray. Fast. - Pastor Pradeep.

What more in the name of love?

One man come in the name of love, So sing U2 ,so I believe.
So we Know to be true.

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to Justify
One man to Overthrow
In the name of Love, What more in the name of Love?

One man was betrayed with a kiss. You know how Judas betrayed Yeshu..
He must have felt So bad. Or did we assume that He being God, must have hardly been affected by that betrayal? Forget all the spitting and stoning and flogging and crucifying. Did we imagine that He would have taken the betrayal coolly, like how the cool poker-faced heroes of Hollywood react at the most terrifying and hurting circumstances?

Did we imagine Him to be a face, cool and set in stone?
Or was it hurting within Him ,just like any slob here on earth would hurt?

Hmm.. Yeshu, listen up man.. I see your followers here on this earth, going through hurts and insults, just like you did. All in the name of love.
Today they smile, your friends smile in tears Yeshu.
Tomorrow they die. Stop smiling ,you. Do you know what it means to face death at all?

Anyway, Yeshu.. they , your friends, your followers do the smallest things to leave your mark behind, out of love. What mark do they leave behind?
A cross in a graveyard. Or maybe they leave Love behind?

Why man Yeshu. What more in the name of Love will you and your friends do?
Through all of my heavy fire doubts and all of my cynicism..
What gets to me is your freaking love.
And your friends too, ok. Not those friends of yours who are caught in mind traps, time warps ,as busy judging as i am.Those friends of yours who love in the smallest ways possible.
They Rock Yeshu bhai..
But they rock at a cost to themselves Yeshu..

Why man.. What more will you all do in the name of love?
