Nothing But The Blood
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
So I put my iphone on shuffle and this song comes on, and it hits a switch somewhere deep inside. I reminisce a scene last year on the bus back from our ROCs trip to Ipoh. Goes like this:
I was sitting next to Jelly
I'm listening to hillsong, this new album my mom got for me - she thought I'd love it - I Heart Revolution. Yeah, I loved it! Hahah ;D duh, who wouldn't?
Jelly's listening to.. hmmm regina spektor? And grindhouse.
We're both singing the songs out loud in the darkness on the bus, oblivious to everything surrounding.
So this song comes on, and yeah, I'm singing it -not horribly I hope.. hahah- and out of nowhere, I start tearing, crying, and I'm feeling so broken inside -at least if I can recall correctly... coz it's either that or I didn't know why I was crying.. hahah well should be the former..- I felt like I'd shattered to bits.
Jelly wraps an arm around me, don't think she gets what just happened, she probably thinks I was being weird.
And I realize, nearly 6 months later that perhaps it was the Spirit of God, working in His own miraculous ways. To think it happened outside of a Christian environment. On a bus. In the darkness.
Whoa.
Praise Him.
I'm amazed.
Probably awestruck because I for one am pretty much new to this sorta thing? That was probably one of my firsts? Hahah I can't remember, maybe my memory's bad.
Oh, but He has taken me straight in. And there'll definitely be more(:
