“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.” - Jack Kerouac

Love Came Down



When I call on Your name You answer
When I fall You are there by my side
You delivered me out of darkness
Now I stand in the hope of new life.

By grace I’m free
You’ve rescued me
All I am is Yours

I’ve found a love greater than life itself
I’ve found a hope stronger and nothing compares
I once was lost now I’m alive in You

You’re my God and my Firm Foundation
It is You whom I’ll trust at all times
I give glory and praise, adoration
To my Saviour who’s seated on high

Love came down and rescued me
I thank You, I thank You
I once was blind but now I see
I see You, I see You

The Big Bang Theory, Season 3, Episode 1

By His hand we are all fed,
Give us Lord our daily bread.
Please know that we are truly grateful,
For every cup and every plateful.

Nothing but the Blood of Jesus

"What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Now by this I’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Now by this I’ll reach my home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Glory! Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus."

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16

I am grateful that God loves me so much that he cleanses me with the blood of Jesus, making me clean as snow that I might have my righteousness, and I can in full confidence approach his throne, knowing that I will receive his grace.

Leaving this time round seems a little more difficult. It might just be for a short 10 weeks, but there is this unsettling sense of uncertainty. I am not quite sure I will come home with things still the same, whether Matches will still stick together, whether the jadedness of working life will suck the life and ideals out of friends. But alas, I trust in God, for He has plans for us according to His will, and no matter how bleak it may seem to me, His plans are good, for His thoughts are higher than ours, and His ways higher than ours.

Good bye Singapore, Hello Exeter.
