Another one by True Worshippers.  I’ve always had a soft spot for intimate worship ballads from Indonesia. And since the language is so similar to Bahasa Malaysia it’s easy to identify with the lyrics, plus the language works well with this genre.

SLAMANYA KAU TUHAN
Verse 1:
Dalam anugrahMu
Dalam naunganMu
Kudapat merasakan
KemuliaanMu Tuhan

Verse 2:
Kau yg menetapkan
Kau yg mencurahkan
Kuasa dari tahtaMu
Membangkitkan rohku

Chorus:
Slamanya Kau Tuhanku
Yang terutama di hidupku
Tak akan kulepaskan
Pengharapan didalamMu

There’s a big Live Recording tonight in Indonesia by True Worshippers. I confess I do miss sincere authentic passionate worship whether in more concert settings and intimate settings. For me, what’s most important nonetheless is what happens after an event life this.  For now, one song I might teach our congregation soon. 

GLORY TO GLORY
Verse 1:
Meekness and majesty
In humbleness You came down and rescued me
You gave it all upon The Cross
As an offering

Verse 2:
You traded Your life for me
In righteousness You poured out Your love so free
And now my soul will worship You
As an offering

Pre-Chorus:
We come into Your presence now in awe
Casting all our crowns at Your feet
How wonderful the things that You have done
Forever You will reign glorious

Chorus:
Be lifted up from Glory to glory to glory
We offer up the praises that You deserve
You’re changing us from glory to glory to glory
Our lives will shine before You and shout Your worth
You’re glorious

The Triumph of Grace in Deuteronomy

Speaker: Rev Dr Paul Barker

About the lecture: Does the Old Testament have an optimistic outlook for the people of God, ancient Israel, or is it pessimistic? The strands of optimism and pessimism seem to be juxtaposed throughout. In this lecture of Deuteronomy, a lynchpin book within the Old Testament, the so-called tensions between optimism and pessimism are shown to cohere theologically. Despite the faithfulness of Israel, Yahweh’s faithfulness to His promises results in the triumph of grace. 

About the speaker: Author of two books and some articles on Deuteronomy and is Visiting Scholar at Seminari Theoloji Malaysia. Previously, he was Archdeacon and Vicar in Melbourne, Australia, and has lectured at Ridley College Melbourne, and in seminaries and colleges in Myanmar, China, England and India.
