Renewed to Honor

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. Ps 91:7 The above verse would be normal to you, but during my early views of Christianity, i thought the verse meant like in movies a sword would come and all people around you may fall or die and you would be kept alive just because we believe in God, but Lord showed it was not so. We as Christians undergo many trials and temptations daily, but the better fun is got when we see the hand of God, like how Moses was kept safe from the glow and power of Holy One, we too find this hand sometimes in our lives. You see, i have to walk for five minutes daily from bus stand to my office, and well in the middle of the path there is a bypass road, it connects Mount Road and GN Shetty road( for those who lived in Chennai), this small road is not bigger than 5m wide, any way i crossed the road, there was a lady ahead of me, and a man who was also walking with me, we all crossed the (small but busy roa...

Music and Lyrics : Subin A Mathew All night long on my bed I looked for the one my heart loved Mmmhhmm….hmmm..mmmhmmm hmmm Without you Lord, the air I breathe is empty, Without you Lord, the water I drink is bitter, Without you Lord, the labor of my hands are wasted, Without you, Without you, Oh let me not be. Come! – Pour into my life the new wine, Oh Come, – Kiss me for your kiss is better than wine, Come! – Restore your Holy Spirit in me, Oh come my Lord, here I am.

NIV : JOB 19:25-29 25 I know that my Redeemer [a] lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. [b] 26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet [c] in [d] my flesh I will see God; 27 I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! 28 "If you say, 'How we will hound him, since the root of the trouble lies in him, [e] ' 29 you should fear the sword yourselves; for wrath will bring punishment by the sword, and then you will know that there is judgment. [f] " Now see the first two lines, they give me hope. I was given a shock of my life then. It was very sweet. The next verse was even sweeter and holy, sanctifying me. The next verse was dinner....Sorry it was the best line i cud use from a movie.. Music and Lyrics... The last two verses were words to correct...

Music And Lyrics: Subin A Mathew (Passage 1) The way that i shouldn't travel, Now has became a burden on my soul, The path that i kept on taking, mistakes repeating,broke me down today; The way just changed, all of a sudden, Went away my burdens,When i just bowed, I felt an angel, holding me up, And then i knew i was not returning,and thats when.. I just realized my life renewed, To seek your name, I just saw how clearly,you loved me, So i will.. Sing it out,I'll Sing it 'loud, Cause I know your grace, (Chorous) You gave myself a new song to sing, You gave myself a great new voice to praise, You gave myself a new song to sing, You showed me your way; to scream out praises to you Lord- I'll love you for ever more and more... So i sing... Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah to my King, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah to my lord, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah to my king, Hale-lu-jee-ahh.... Hallelujah! to my King of Kings! (Passage 2) The way was hard, terribly fain...

And ever since in my life , Lord had been important and been feared much cause family wanted to make sure i don't fall or move away from Lord. I was taught in Sunday school , was participating in church activities. Lord had his hand to guide me and some how i found myself more complete in his love. But his was very vague. I was more church oriented. I was busy trying to be a world pleasures not realizing any importance of life and living. My childhood had few bad incidents but God lead me through it. Dad was very strict in fact i hated him then, he was caring but his care was more shown in anger and gifts. i on other hand wanted a father who would talk to me, teach me stuff and help me in stuff or some things. Mummy was there for me. in every thing she was a blessing for me. she helped me with my home work, supporting me with everything and helping me and caring for me. she taught me love and care, while dad from him i learned courage and that i should be respected and one very imp...

unfortunately ( you can take this as a warning) my mum when she was pregnant with me ( not knowing she was carrying me) had taken some medicine for some fever, but it produced bad results, and when i was born i had 2 hands and 2 feet, just like you, and was perfect, but later into life about age 1 and 1/2 i was detected with some small trouble with kidneys which led to a major operation in which case i could even have died, there was from my grand mother's younger years a prayer group at my area, mainly marthomite and ecumenical, had got on their knees , my daddy ( as i came to know recently) had been crying bitterly to Lord for me, almost all in the area i live, ( even today) say " I AM GOT BY PRAYERS" and this is my first testimony, there was a certain achen ( priest) who was said to intercede for my life, and my God heard their cries and the cries of my family and started his touch on to me. This is my story, my song, the very first note of the life he wanted me to sin...

my grandmother is a God fearing person, her dad ( my great grand father) had been involved in revival ministries and this blessing was given to all of us. her brother had taught at marthoma seminaries and some of her brothers are/were involved/initiators of many movements. but as time faded the church was established more of a building than the community that began it. But i believe that as said in Jer 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." ( my grand mother told about her family to me " my dad had been a part of a great revival, in kallissery we organized palm leaves( olla) roofed prayer centres and they used to jump in that rejoicing and praising the Lord, i had been a part of this revival, it was the blessing that my father carried that was given to all my generations, i can proudly say that the Lord has not let any of my children or their children gone astray...

it was a blessing from Lord that i had to come here on earth leaving his bosom, but the path he had for me had a destiny, a path that he wanted me to follow so he had predestined me to a path to follow, and he never wanted my family to oppose it in anyway.

This is a close and some what edited version of my Life and How the Lord found me and not he other way around
