This is a re-post from August 2004:
Praise Looks Good on You
When you lift your hands up high
And you sing a song of priase to Me
It brings me great delight
Such a lovely sight
And yes it is true
Praise looks good on You
Morning night and noon
Your praise ascends to heaven
Like the smell of sweet purfume
Filling every room
And yes it is true
Praise looks good on You
You bring your sacrifices
And you offer up your praise
You lift your voice with singing
But your heart seems far away
More than a sacrifice
I am looking for your life
Holy and acceptable
And pleasing in My sight
So offer up your life
Holy and acceptable
A willing sacrifice
Precious in my sight
But in all that you do
Remember all I want is you
So lift your hands up high
And worship Him before the altar
Consecrate your life
A willing sacrifice
But in all that you do
Remember all He wants is you
And yes it is true
Praise looks good on you

Posted in August 2004: Seems like every time I think about BGR issue in my life, or rather the lack of it, this song comes to my mind. Suffered a devastating blow today, maybe God is really giving me the gift of celibacy. Not something I really want, but if that is best for me, then so be it.
Posted in March 2006: What a difference one and a half years can make in your life. Everytime I think of this; this song just comes back to comfort me. She's home, but whether close of far; the distance feels the same. There is more to worship than mere music or words; words must be followed by the actions. And maybe for a little while last year, I finally understood why our Praises to God are like garments, beautiful garments that make us look good, even though we may actually look dishevelled all the time. Yes it is true, praise does looks good on us. Even though no one on earth may admire it; the Heavenly Father does, and He will do so for eternity, what more can we ask of Him?
October 2007: This post only makes sense in the context the two above. Have had a strange feeling in my heart the last few days, one that I've not felt in a long time. They say all you need is frequency and intensity; there sure is intensity and the frequency is increasing. Need to thread carefully, for this time things are really different. Very different indeed. Dear Lord, help us help us stop our spinning, and grant us sight.
October 2008: When the ringing tells you a big story, you know you need to concentrate on the things that matter and remember that it will be a while more before things reveal themselves.
