play it! #2: birthday prayer song

Since 2010, my brother and I have a birthday prayer song which we then present at church, any sunday of April. Prayed that I will be able to choose the right song, and God just answered it, at most 3 weeks before our birthday. Each song sung my prayer for that moment and that made it to be our birthday prayer song for the year.

Immediately, searched for the lyrics, chords, a hundred play-pause-rewind-play-pause-rewind-play's, a few chord inversions for easy, beginner-fingers playing..... a ten thousand practice-practice-practice, finally hit the keyboards, while my masunurin younger brother sings.

2010 - LIVE YOUR LOVE by Katinas

I'm listening to a new song from heaven
I'm wide awake, yet dreaming of You
Though I'm not alone
I'm desperate without You
I see your mercy
Lord You are holy
I want to be more like You


Teach me to live Your love
Help me to give Your love
Show me Your way
Lord I'll obey
Your word and live Your love


I stand in awe, grateful remembrance
Press towards the goal
For the prize I must win
I've got my eyes focused upon You
Show me Your beauty
Cause Lord it's your goodness that makes me more like You


Holy wind, blow fresh
Your fire anew
Come breathe on my soul
Let my heart be for You
I've witnessed the light
And the power of Your might


Teach me to live Your love
Help me to give Your love
Show me Your way
Lord I'll obey
Your word and live Your love

2011- BETTER THAN I  by David Campbell (from Joseph, King of Dreams movie)


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
For 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
For You know better than I

I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a 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

Right now, I'm starting to pray for our birthday prayer song for this year. And maybe by this time, I'll be able to take a video of it.
