No Greater Love

some background first: i've been helping out with the hfmd screening at church these past few weeks, and so have missed praise & worship for some time. not only that, i've been feeling a little dry, and to top if off, the events of the past few weeks haven't been exactly uplifting (see previous post).

so it was more than just a pleasant surprise when pastor gabriel announced before service started that darlene zschech would be leading worship!

what an amazing p&w it was!! the songs (salvation is here - at the cross - nothing but the blood - how great is our God - healer - Hosanna), the music, the singing. during worship, i cried. not bawled, but yes i did shed a few tears. i cried as the frustrations of the elective planning fell away, as the uncertainties melted, as i was reminded that i am still, and will always be, Daddy's little girl.

because it had totally slipped my mind that i was serving for 4th service hfmd, and i was frantic when i saw the roster the night before as i was supposed to rush down for the afternoon shift at hotel o.n.e. after service. i didn't want to be late so i called people and tried to swap duties.

if i had managed to change duties, i would probably have made it to hotel o.n.e. much earlier. well, i wasn't successful, but what was in store for me was precisely what Daddy knew i needed most. thus preserved, i had those precious minutes of fantastic worship which i will treasure. precious because i'm leaving for the states soon, and not only am i going to miss hillsong united's concert in singapore, i'm also going to miss the p&w that i love for 5 sundays.

to end this post, here's the one and only darlene zschech:



At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Your Glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now?

You tore the veil
You made a way
When You said that it is done
