- "You know BETTER than I" -

I thought I did what's right 

I thought I had the answers

I thought I chose the surest road

but that road brought me here

So I put up a fight

And told You how to help me

Now just when I have given up

The truth is coming clear

You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

Coz You know better than I

If this has been a test

I cannot see the reason

But maybe knowing I don't know

Is part of getting through

I try to do what's best

And faith has made it easy

To see the best thing I can do

Is put my trust in You

For You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

Coz You know better than I

I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky

I saw one bird and thought that I could follow

But it was You who taught that bird to fly

If I let You  reach me, will You teach me?

For You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

I'll take what answers You supply

You know better than I

- "THANKS GOD I've found YOU." -

I would give up everything

before I'd separate myself from

After so much suffering

I've finally found unvarnished truth

I was all by myself for the longest time

So cold inside

And the hurt from the heart it would not subside

I felt like dying until you saved my life

Thanks God I've found you

I was lost without you

My every wish and every dream

somehow became reality

When you brought the sunlight

completed my life

I'm overwhelmed with gratitude

coz baby I'm so thankful I've found you

I would give you everything

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

To ensure your happiness

I'll cherish every part of you

Coz without you beside me I can't survive

don't wanna try

If you're keeping me warm each and every night

I'll be alright

Coz I need you in my life

See I was so desolate

Before you came to me

Looking back

I guess we were destined to shine

after the rain to appreciate

the gift of what we have

And I'd go through it all over again

To be able to feel this way

I never forget to keep thanking God

for He has lead me to find you.. :')

- "TAKKAN terganti." -

"Meski waktu datang dan berlalu sampai kau tiada bertahan
Semua takkan mampu mengubahku
Hanyalah kau yang ada di relungku
Hanyalah dirimu mampu membuatku jatuh dan mencinta
Kau bukan hanya sekedar indah, kau tak akan terganti.."

You're irreplaceable, Kevin Oarto =)

- "Thanks for YOUR BLOOD." -

Sukacitaku penuh, kubermazmur bagiMu
Karna kutau ku t'lah ditebus oleh curahan darahMu
Kumenari bagiMu, kumemuji namaMu
Karna kutau ku berkemenangan oleh curahan darahMu

DarahMu Yesus sucikan daku
DarahMu Yesus bebaskanku
DarahMu Yesus ubahkan daku
Kudijadikan baru..

Your blood has redeemed me..
Thank You for the cross, Jesus! :')

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish
but have eternal life."
- John 3:16 NIV -

- "Imagine me WITHOUT you.." -

As long as stars shine down from heaven
and the rivers run into the sea
'Till the end of time forever
You're the only love I need

In my life you're all that matters
In my eyes the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
You're the only one that's there for me

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you, I need you

Imagine me without you
I'd be lost and so confuse
I wouldn't last a day
I'd be afraid without you there to see me through

Imagine me without you
Lord You know it's just impossible
Because of you it's all brand new
My life is now worthwhile
I can't imagine me without you

When you caught me I was falling
Your love lifted me back on my feet
It was like you heard my calling
and you rushed to set me free

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you, I need you

Imagine me without you
I'd be lost and so confuse
I wouldn't last a day
I'd be afraid without you there to see me through

Imagine me without you
Lord You know it's just impossible
Because of you it's all brand new
My life is now worthwhile
I can't imagine me without you..

Thanks for making my life worthwhile :')

- "ready to LOVE." -

Seems I was walking in the wrong direction
I barely recognize my own reflection
Oh, scared of love but scared of life alone

Seems I've been playing on the safe side baby
Building walls around my heart to save me
Oh, but it's time for me to let it go

Yeah I'm ready to feel now
No longer I'm afraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready to love again

Just when we think that love will never find you
You've run away but it's still right behind you
Oh, it's just something that we can't control

Yeah I'm ready to feel now
No longer I'm afraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready to love again

So come and find me
I'll be waiting up for you
I'll be holding out for you tonight

Yeah I'm ready to feel now
No longer I'm afraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end

I guess I'm ready
Ready to love again
I'm ready to love again

Yeah, I'm READY! (",)

- "Valentine.." -

Love,
It's a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary

But it's a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

Love,
I don't need those things
I don't need no ring
I don't need anything
but you with me
'Cause in your company
I feel happy, oh so happy and complete

And it's a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

Yeah it's a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving me kisses all the time
Be mine.. Be my valentine..

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving me sweet kisses all the time
Be mine.. Be my valentine..

Happy Valentine, everyone!
Love is in the air :)
Have a lovely and unforgettable one! ;)

- "Semua BAIK." -

Dari semula t'lah Kau tetapkan
hidupku dalam tanganMu
dalam rencanaMu, Tuhan
Rencana indah t'lah Kau siapkan
bagi masa depanku yang penuh harapan

S'mua baik, s'mua baik
Apa yang t'lah Kau perbuat di dalam hidupku
S'mua baik, sungguh teramat baik
Kau jadikan hidupku berarti

Benar Tuhan,
sungguh setiap detik kehidupanku telah Kau tetapkan jauh sebelum aku ada.
Setiap peristiwa, suka duka, tawa tangis, jatuh bangun, semuanya Kau ijinkan terjadi untuk suatu tujuan yang baik bagi hidupku :')
Aku bersyukur memiliki Allah sepertiMu,
Allah yang memiliki cinta yang begitu besar atasku..
Trimakasih untuk setiap hal yang terjadi di dalam hidupku, Tuhan.
Aku mau menyerahkan segenap rencana, pengharapan, mimpi, cita2, dan seluruh kehidupanku ke dalam rencanaMu yang indah (",)

I love You, Lord!
You're my best :*

- "Hero." -

There's a hero if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away

And then the hero comes along with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you

It's a long road and you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love if you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear

Oh Lord knows dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone tear them away
Hold on, there will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way

Gw sangat suka lagu ini..
Ya, lagu "Hero" yang dinyanyikan oleh Mariah Carey ini seringkali membuat gw kembali bersemangat di saat2 gw down dan hilang harapan..
Setiap liriknya begitu membangun dan memberi semangat :)

Yuph, WE'RE THE HEROES of our own selves! (",)

- "against all ODDS.." -

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your face

So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
And there's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your face

So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face

Take a look at me now
'Cause I'll be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take

Oh take a look at me now..

- "at the BEGINNING with YOU.." -

We were strangers starting out on a journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are..
I'm suddenly standing at the beginning with you..

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start..

And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you

We were strangers in a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams will come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
at the beginning with you..

Knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you

Let's we start our wonderful journey =)

- "kusembah KAU Tuhan.." -

I accidentally found this song on my iPod and I fell in love with this song :)
This song represents my longing and desire for Him and I just wanna share it with you, guys..
It has a beautiful lyric that really touches and slaps my face! hehe..

Biarlah hidupku bagiMu
sebagai pujian berkenan
Dalam perbuatanku dan perkataanku
kusembah Kau Tuhan selalu

Aku mau bernyanyi setiap hari
bersyukur buat karya yang Kau b'ri
Dari pagi hari hingga datang malam
kusembah Kau Tuhan selalu

Seluruh hidupku kusembah Kau Tuhan s'lamanya
Seluruh hidupku kusembah Kau Tuhan s'lamanya

I wish it's not just a song, but a PRAYER from the deepest of our hearts (",)

- "when there WAS me and you.." -

It's funny when you find yourself looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe miracles could happen?
Cause now I have to pretend that I don't really care

I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star that's coming true
But everybody else could tell that I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you

I swore I knew the melody that I heard you singing
And when you smiled you made me feel that I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's and once upon a song

Now I know you're not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star just don't come true
Cause now even I can tell that I confused my feelings with the truth
Cause I liked the view when there was me and you

I can't believe that I could be so blind
It's like you were floating when I was falling
and I didn't mind

Cause I liked the view
I thought you felt it too
When there was me and you..

- "Kiss the RAIN." -

I often close my eyes and I can see you smile
You reach out for my hand and I'm woken from my dream
Although your heart is mine, it's hollow inside
I never had your love and I never will

And every night I lie awake
Thinking maybe you love me like I've always loved you
But how can you love me when you can't even look me straight in my eyes?

I've never felt this way, to be so in love
To have someone there yet feel so alone
Aren't you supposed to be the one who wiped my tears?
The one to say that you would never leave

The waters calm and still, my reflection is there
I see you holding me but then you disappear
All that is left of you is just a memory
On that only exists in my dreams

I don't know what hurts you but I can feel it too
And it just hurts so much to know that I can't do a thing
And deep down in my heart
Somehow I just know that no matter what
I'll always love you

- "Sebutir PASIR." -

Di antara lautan kehidupan manusia
Ku hanyalah bagaikan sebutir pasir saja
Namun Kau mengenalku
Engkau tau namaku bahkan sebelum aku dilahirkan

Kau pilihku.. Kau panggilku..
Kau bentukku sempurna indah pada waktunya
Walau sakit namun senang akhirnya
Sebutir pasir pun menjadi mutiara

This is a really good old song..
Benar sekali setiap kata2 yang ada di lagu ini.. Seperti menggambarkan kehidupan kita sendiri..
Mungkin bagi dunia ini, kita adalah seseorang yang gak berarti, bukan siapa2 dan gak ada yang memandang.. Seringkali kita berpikir, siapalah kita? Kita benar2 cuma setitik kecil dari bagian kehidupan dunia ini..
Tetapi satu hal, walaupun dunia gak memandang dan menghiraukan kita, Bapa di Surga MELIHAT dan MENGENAL kita. Mengenal setiap detail pribadi dan kehidupan kita. Dia yang memanggil kita dengan nama kita masing2 dan terlebih dahulu mengenal kita bahkan jauh sebelum orang tua kita menyambut kehadiran kita di dunia..
It's a wonderful fact, isn't it?

Dan gak cuma memandang dan mengenal kita, Dia juga yang selalu membimbing setiap langkah kehidupan kita, merancang masa depan yang indah bagi kita, dan berjalan bersama kita setiap saat kemana pun kita pergi.. Dia yang mengajarkan kita banyak hal lewat segala peristiwa di dalam kehidupan kita dan juga memampukan kita untuk melewati semuanya.. Dia membentuk kita sedemikian rupa, seperti sebutir pasir yang harus mengalami proses yang menyakitkan untuk menjadi sebuah mutiara. Mungkin ketika kita mengalami proses pembentukan itu, sakit sekali rasanya.. Kita berteriak dan menangis, merasa tidak kuat melewati semuanya.. Tetapi Dia tau persis seberapa kuat kita, dan Dia gak akan memberikan ujian yang melebihi kekuatan kita (1 Kor 10:13)
Dia akan terus membentuk kita sampai pada akhirnya Dia mendapati kita sempurna seperti yang Dia inginkan.. Sampai pada akhirnya sebutir pasir yang tak dipandang dan diinjak-injak orang itu berubah menjadi sebutir mutiara indah yang bernilai tinggi dan sangat berharga :)

Hanya dua hal yang Dia minta dari kita,
yaitu KESEDIAAN kita untuk dibentuk menjadi sempurna olehNya
dan KEPERCAYAAN kita sepenuhnya kepada Dia (",)

And after all we've been through, someday we can finally sing:

"Sebutir pasirpun menjadi mutiara.."

Jadi.. Siapkah kita untuk dibentuk menjadi sebutir mutiara? :)

- "I TRUST in YOU" -

Saat ku tak melihat jalanMu
Saat ku tak mengerti rencanaMu
Namun tetap kupegang janjiMu
Pengharapanku hanya padaMu

Hatiku percaya..
Hatiku percaya..
Hatiku percaya..
S'lalu kupercaya..

Yes it's true, Lord..
When everything seems like going wrong
When I can't even understand Your plans
I keep only one thing in my heart: I TRUST IN YOU :)
for Your plans are always gonna be THE BEST for me..

"For I know the plans I have for you,"
declares the Lord,
"plans TO PROSPER you and NOT TO HARM you,
plans TO GIVE you HOPE and FUTURE."

- Jeremiah 29:11 NIV -

What a beautiful promise of the LORD (",)

- "I'm single and very HAPPY =D" -

Mereka bilang aku pemilih dan kesepian
Terlalu keras menjalani hidup
Beribu nasehat dan petuah yang diberikan
Berharap hidupku bahagia

Aku baik-baik saja
Menikmati hidup yang aku punya
Hidupku sangat sempurna
I'm single and very happy
Mengejar mimpi-mimpi indah
Bebas lakukan yang aku suka
Berteman dengan siapa saja
I'm single and very happy

Mereka bilang sudah saatnya karna usia
Untuk mencari sang kekasih hati
Tapi kuyakin akan datang pasangan jiwaku
Pada waktu dan cara yang indah

Aku baik-baik saja
Menikmati hidup yang aku punya
Hidupku sangat sempurna
I'm single and very happy
Mengejar mimpi-mimpi indah
Bebas lakukan yang aku suka
Berteman dengan siapa saja
I'm single and very happy

Waktu terus berjalan dan tak bisa kuhentikan
Kuinginkan yang terbaik untuk hidupku :)

This song is really "ME"!! ^^

- "How can I NOT love you?" -

Cannot touch
Cannot hold
Cannot be together

Cannot love
Cannot kiss
Cannot have each other

Must be strong and we must let go
Cannot say what our hearts must know
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you here in my arms

How does one waltz away from all the memories
How do I not miss you when you are gone

Cannot dream
Cannot share
Sweet and tender moments

Cannot feel
How we feel
Must pretend it's over

Must be brave and we must go on
Must not say what we've known all along

How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you here in my arms

How does one waltz away from all the memories
How do I not miss you when you are gone
How can I not love you..

Must be brave and we must be strong
Cannot say what we've known all along

How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you here in my arms

How does one waltz away from all the memories
How do I not miss you when you are gone

How can I not love you
When you are you gone.....

- "Aku Tak Bisa" -

Aku tak bisa lepaskanmu dari mataku
Aku tak bisa membunuhmu
Dan aku tak bisa bohongi diriku butuh kamu
Aku tak bisa melupakanmu

Mencoba lupakan semua yang terjadi
Namun ku semakin tersiksa sendiri
Mencoba akhiri perasaan yang ada
Namun dirimu semakin mendekatiku

T'lah kucoba melupakan dirimu
Namun hanya kau yang s'lalu ada di hatiku..

I don't hate you for not loving me anymore,
I hate myself for still loving you..

- "I will SURVIVE" -

At first I was afraid I was petrified
I kept thinking I could never leave without you by my side
But when I spend so many nights just thinking how you'd done me wrong
I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

And so now you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here without the look upon your face
I should have changed my f-ing lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second you'll be back to bother me

Oh now go, walk out the door
Just turn around
Now you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
Didn't you think I'd crumble
Didn't you think I'd lied down and die
Hold on
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah

It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry but now I hold my head up high

And you see me with somebody new
I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you
And so you thought you just drop by
And you expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
