I guess it all comes down to where your heart is.
It's there your thoughts and feelings all begin;
But if you never give your heart to Jesus
You'll never really have a part in Him.
If your treasures are in heaven
Then your heart will be there too;
And the things you say and do will show Christ's love.
But if your treasures here on earth
Tell me where your heart will be.
You'll never have a part in things above.
If your mind's set on the Spirit
And you're walking in God's light
Then the watching world will see Christ's love in you.
But if your mind's set on the earth
And the earthly things you do
In poverty you'll live your whole life through.
I guess it all comes down to where your heart is.
It's there your thoughts and feelings all begin;
But if you never give your heart to Jesus
You'll never really have a part in Him.
This song shall be the theme song for 2009. I guess it really all comes down to where our heart-where is our heart really set upon. Today in AF, we talked about 3 kinds of heart. The cold heart, the God-and heart and lastly, the private heart. Mine is the second heart. The past 2 years had been a wild chase after things that doesn't satisfy. It had been a seeking for temporary satisfaction, as Dr Ajith rightly put it, "bursts of pleasure". It been two years of intense trials. It had also months of hurts, disappointments and what have you. Packing up all these things and sorting them out, i feel that i am ready to move on to another journey. A journey that leads closer to our heavenly home. I thank You that in the wilderness You spoke. I thank You that You led me to the wilderness in order to speak to me when i was hard of hearing. I thank You that in my lowest point, You did not forsake me but led me and spoke to me gently. I thank You that You showed me the depth of Your love and that nothing can seperates us from Your love. I thank You that You are always faithful despite man's waywardness. I thank You for being who You are. I thank You that You are You.
A sister said, "You do have a lot of energy. And you must use the energy well". 2009 shall be one where i want to utilise this energy. I want to make a difference while i still have the time.
And so, the blog is named "The Heart Story". It is the story of the heart. A story of how the heart has love Jesus and love His people. The story starts to unfold....

hi, great song. Do you know where I can find the chords ?
This song was orginally in a WORD songbook that I had back in the 80's. I lost the book and have been looking for the music for many years.
I know The Jeremiah People did this song. Probably late 70's -early '80's.
Hope that helps.
