HILLSONG UNITED!!!

First time I had the chance to go for a purely Hillsong United Concert and it was a blast... Met the rest at 5 and thousands of calls juz kept coming in all the way till 6 plus... Thank God Si Hui bought dinner for me and I could eat my Mushroom Swiss Double b4 going in... Gave away the fries and half of the drink, lolx...

When I finally went in at ard 6.45pm with JP and company, we received a goodie bag which was way cool la! =) Got lightsticks, a notebook, a drink and some other hillsong stuff... Then initially we were abit disappointed cos we had to go sit in the back section... Then Thomas called me and said tat they were at the front section and there's still alot of space, so we went down and joined them...

The lights went out and ppl started throwing their lightsticks ard, and screaming and shouting like mad... We had the Arrow Dancers up on stage and it was quite cool to juz watch them perform... After tat it was LIGHTS OUT and the band came up!! (U can hear ppl screaming hysterically now, and making all sorts of human sounds/noises possible)

First song: THE TIME HAS COME
Followed by a few other praise songs b4 going to the worship songs... I clearly rmbr the first worship song: MIGHTY TO SAVE... It was played in a totally different style and still as nice if not nicer than the original version... The song touched me and I teared as I sang it... The first line "Everyone needs compassion" made me think abt the ppl in Myanmar and China suffering... It was as if the whole song was my prayer for those ppl suffering out there... I reli do hope tat more ppl will receive the salvation even in the midst of all these suffering...

Mighty To Save

Everyone needs compassion
Love that’s never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations


Saviour
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave


So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender


Shine Your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing
For the glory of the risen King

Anyway this song reli opened up my heart to the whole worship and after tat I was able to surrender myself wholly to Him... The message by the Pastor was oso simple: Step into the Zone and receive God's undeserved favour... Its all abt making tat choice to step in and then thanking God for wad He wants to gif u... Thought the part abt us being like Jesus was quite cool... "Jesus is cool, so are you. If you wear Addidas today, Addidas ic cool. If you wear Nike tml, Nike is cool. All becos Jesus is cool, so are you"

There was oso this part where Joel Houstan shared abt his fren getting cancer but did not gif up... Instead he went back and composed a song which we sang and I think was super cool! Cant rmbr all the lyrics but would reli like to hav tat song, so if anyone has it let me noe! =)

The last part we worshiped somemore and ended on an ultra high note with Saviour King... I was practically shouting and not singing anymore, lolx... The Pastor came up but the crowd wasnt satisfied... So we got 2 more songs: One Way and Solution... First time hearing Solution so didnt reli like it tat much, hahaz... But still praised Him and gave Him my all cos He's worthy =)

After the whole thing finally ended, ppl started going out and it was seriously crowded, I think more so than b4 the concert started when we were coming in... I saw diff gps of Agapians but after Elsen and me went to the toilet, everyone was gone, lolx... So I walked with him, then saw Yi Yong and company... Continued walking until I was past the Zebra crossing then saw Weilin walking alone... Apparently she was quite lost and the worst part was tat she didnt have a phone with her =/ My phone already died by then so got Elsen to call Kailin and thank God she came shortly after with Gillian... Then I told them to take bus home cos they wanted to walk initially... (can u imagine 3 young gals walking back after 10 plus at nite? Gosh!)

We made our way to the bus stop and finally it was onli Elsen, Joel, and Noel going to 85 with me... Met up with Li Juan, Chengyi, Li Yun, Felly, Si Hao, Enguene and Song Kai there... Ate the usual Ba Chor Mee and shared a plate of carrot cake... Then cabbed home with Chengyi and Si Hao... Totally enjoyed myself tat day!!! =)
