playing guitar

i've a little resolution to make after listening to Corrinne May's fantabulous concert (i'm a fan now. awkwardly, but i'm a fan!):

i shall learn more guitar songs and especially hymns/p&w stuff so that i can be a better guitar player for my friends!

so if you have any song which you want me to play for you, please let me know k? i shall begin to build up a proper repertoire in earnest - on Corrinne's account =)

oh btw here's a shot of the concert i sneaked =P
Corrinne... you're a real inspiration. a drop of golden sunshine emanating Christ's boundless love in this loveless world. conquer this world in His name o superhero girl!

ascension @ novena

didn't really like the priest's sermon... too accusatory. may leave bitter taste in many mouths. however, his words do make sweet meditative fodder. this hymn, however, i had to take home:

Chords for "O God, You Search Me"
Psalm 139, tune by Bernadette Farrell
Duration: [X] = [Y] [Y] = [Z] [Z] [Z] [Z]

O [D] God, You [G/D] search [D] me [A/D] and [D] You [A] know [D] me. [D/C#]
[G/B] All my [Dadd9/F#] thoughts lie [G] open [Bm] to Your [Asus4] gaze. [A]
When I [Bm] walk [Bm/A] or lie [G] down You [A/G] are be-[F#m]fore [Bm] me: [Bm/A]
[G7M] E-ver the [Em7] ma-[D/F#]ker and [G] keeper [A] of my [Dsus4] days. [D]

You know my resting and my rising.
You discern my purpose from afar,
And with love everlasting You besiege me:
In ev'ry moment of life or death, You are.

Before a word is on my tongue, Lord,
You have known its meaning through and through,
You are with me beyond my understanding:
God of my present, my past and future, too.

Although Your Spirit is upon me,
Still I search for shelter from Your light.
There is nowhere on earth I can escape You:
Even the darkness is radiant in Your sight.

For You created me and shaped me,
Gave me life within my mother's womb.
For the wonder of who I am I praise You:
Safe in Your hands, all creation is made new.

had a really hard time finding the chords to this fantastic song... thanks to grace (law grad, yr of 2006) who transcribed this to me from scores... hopefully it's true to original! your creator knows you thru and thru... so there's no shame, only love.

can you hear the spirit...

...calling come away?

if you hear about it,
and you think about it,
even talk about it,
what would you do?
what would you do about it?

if you read about it,
and you write about it,
even sing about it,
what would you do?
what would you do about it?

i've heard your calling -
a fire raging in my soul,
a slight tremble in my fingers
as the images fill my mind.

i've witnessed your glory -
the undeniable fruits of faith.
but my heart continues to doubt;
these thoughts escape my control.

when you see mountains of obstacles
take heed my friend, recall his words:
all you need to move them is a mustard seed of faith!

are you sinking in your sorrows?
are you worried about tomorrow?
are the pressures of this life too hard to bear?

try to cast your cares on him
he'll give you perfect peace within
can you hear the spirit calling come away...

The Cold Blue Sky

The Cold Blue Sky
Gives way to the purple night
And I'm just sitting here
Wond'rin' if this love's just Obsession
Though I tried my soul's darndest
This heart of mine simply refuses
Oh I'm sinking even when she's near
This love is naught but Possession

The Cold Blue Sky
Gives way to the mornin' light
And my weary mind's still cravin'
For the chillin' depths of Obsession
Yeah I tried thru' the gruelling weeks before
Her scent lingers on and oh so much more
Dear Lord I'm so in need of Your savin'
From this sweet sweet sweet Possession

The Clear Blue Sky
Soon reveals the Sun's lonesome might
Yet even in that blinding glare
Her dazzling silhouette is still my Obsession
No no, I've given up my all to her
Just this moment now 'till forever and ever
I will be lovin' her even if in despair
Even if this were the Coldest Bluest Possession

The Cold Blue Sky
I resume my dark vigil again tonight...

ode to cute guys

crazy song inspired by singing while bothering with my darned looks... it's actually singable! haha. i'm becoming a closet rocker wannabe... so much for antiestablishmentarianism.

CUTE GUY!
=========
what if i was a cute guy
albeit just a little shy
would u still just pass me by
or would u give me a try

of all the things that money could buy
shd i spend on looks or on humble pie
but don't you wish that i would try
to judge u not by the size of your thighs

CHORUS
hey... i don't wanna be a cute guy
oh... but i wanna be your guy
why oh why must i wear that tie
yeah... you gotta realise
that who i am... is what's inside

what if i was a little high
screaming left and right dreaming i'm a jedi knight
would u simply just pass me by
or would u be edified

cute guys sweet guys loaded guys
could you tell if they had lied
nice guys suave guys hunky guys
aren't their lives too simplified

CHORUS

BRIDGE (maybe some silly solo)

hey... what a beautiful life
oh... it's so good that i could die
yeah... it's all a SOCIAL CONSTRUCT!!!
haha! you gotta realise!
that who you are... is what's inside

ENDING
ooo... cuteness is just a disguise...
what cute guy? i'm just me.
