Fearless Faith (Original) - B. Devera, M. Gatdula, G. Lizardo, R. Ocampo, R. Redic
Verse 1:
You have called me to walk on water
So I put my trust in You
And You have called me to move mountains
So I’ll push and carry through
Chorus:
If I search, I will find
The mighty strength of God
Giving purpose to my life
If I search, I will find
The greatness of the Lord
There is nothing You can’t do
With fearless faith I’ll follow You
Verse 2:
You have called me to serve Your people
Restoring hope into their lives
And you have called me to love the broken
To walk by faith and not by sight
Bridge:
See Your people long for You
Set our hearts on fire
See Your people worship You
Hallelujah!
The Evening of Worship is this week! Are you all ready?!
As promised, here is another song that we will be praising our God with this Friday. This one in particular is a prayer about faith. In a world of condescending actions, we, as His people should rise up and put our trust in Him. He calls us to do work for Him that may seem impossible to accomplish on a daily basis, however, we must approach it with fearless faith! Jesus called St. Peter to walk on water with Him, but the moment St. Peter started doubting, he began to sink. Though we may all feel weak, or feel that we don’t have the bandwidth to accomplish the tasks that the Lord gives us, we have to approach it with faith. Faith in knowing that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you (Phil. 4:13), and faith in knowing that He gives you things that may seem too difficult because He that much faith in you. Do not fret! Christ has, and always will be on our side.
All we need is faith. Let yours rise like incense on April 29th!

Cherry Blossoms
The cherry blossoms are used to represent life itself. They are also called Sakura. The beauty of the cherry blossom lies in the strength it has to survive in the harsh conditions that they bloom in, along with their fragile nature, as they only last a couple of days. The Japanese view this as a direct representation of how life should be. They believe that everyday should be lived to the fullest and that the awareness of death should only make us want to seize each moment in our life. This is one of the Japanese tattoo meanings which clearly signifies power and beauty. However, one should remember to take adequate tattoo care after getting a cherry blossom tattoo.
