the song

Hi! I just wanna share this song with you. It’s by Tim Hughes but the one I uploaded is Plus One’s version.

It all started when my friend, Cursetyn viewed my profile today. Saw her blog about this two Emo girls who commited suicide. Many “emo” kids are just taking it in a wrong direction. I did a search on “Emo Suicide” on Google and saw this Myspace profile with a boy my age, Joshua Anson Ballard who posted a suicide note on myspace two years ago. I checked it out. And there this tribute vid on him with this song. It made me reflect on things.

Looking at the world now, really just makes me feel sick to the soul. So many things are going on around the world and all we people here can do is this. It’s excruciating to hear such stories. The worst thing is, we have our own religion. But many of us are just falling out and forgetting our obligations. We do things we’re not supposed to do even if we know it’s wrong. All because we get influenced by the people we hang out with.

There are days I reflect on the things I and the people around me have done. It’s been weeks or maybe months since I’ve done a self-reflection. And today I just feel happier. I often listen to Gospel songs or Christian songs. T’just cleanses your soul and frees your mind from every single thing that’s been bothering you. Or better yet. It just lets you free from everything. So here’s the lyrics and the vid. Sing your soul out!

Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

[Chorus]
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in Heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor
[Chorus]

[Bridge] x4
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

[Chorus] x3
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
