Last night,i went to church for my carolling practice.I thought i was late for that as i saw the lights were all switched on when i got there,but actually i wasn't,some of my church members who are going to fly to North Thailand are practicing their drama which was about the coming of Jesus Christ the world.It's actually quite common for Christians here because all of those who go to Sunday School are being told this story every time before Christmas.But,the children in North Thailand are not so lucky,our gospel has only reached them about two years ago (if I'm not mistaken...),and since our church "adopted' one of the village there,our church members have been flying there frequently to provide them education,medication,and etc.So during this year's Christmas,the youths in our church are flying over to share the good news with them.Back to the story,i saw them practicing really really well.Though they do not know how to speak the language there,but they are trying their best to use body language through drama to bring out the message.
We started our carolling practice soon after they're done.I was thinking that were we going to sing back the old and traditional songs of Christmas like "Silent Night" and "Jingle Bells",but I got excited after i got the paper,they were two new songs^^yeappy!!I thought the songs would be of slow tempo,but they weren't.After i listened to the music played by our instructor Kayli,the first song is a joyous song entitled "We Can Make A Difference".After that,we moved on to the second song (written below,i try to translate it because i don't have the English version of it),that's when my heart was really touched...
Song:My Heaven
Lyrics by Leader Tsao
Composed by Sandy Yu
You ask me where is heaven,in an ordinary life,does beautiful and eternal hope exist??
I say there's heaven as long as you believe in,Jesus'll lead you to the heaven of eternity...
Chorus:
My heaven,let me filled of worships
My heaven,just need to play your own role
My heaven,believe in miracle
My heaven,no more cries and tears
My heaven,filled with adoration
My heaven,gives me happiness
Peace and joy are in my heaven
Ending:
Believe using your heart
Though you can't see it now
But it'll last forever
Remember,i pray so that you can be the prince/princess in His kingdom one day
I pray so that you can be His precious children

As the music went on and we sang this song,i could feel the tears lining my eyes,but i did not cry as i do not like people watching me crying^^I feel that God's touching my heart through this song,that's why i would have this king of feeling.At the same time,i believe that God is touching others'.Believe it or not??This genre of music has some kind of healing powers and it heals people's soul (but not all musics).
The people who wrote this song are really blessed and they are most respectful of their willingness to give out their talents to serve the GOD.Will,learn from them...give your best to the God...
