Bring It On

I simply love Steven Curtis Chapman's album - 'Declaration of Dependence'.

It's one album that you can always go back to, no matter whether you're happy, sad, angry, frustrated, or just full of praise and joy.

Today I was tired. Even though I went for my company's really exciting event - the Youth Marketing Forum 2005 held at Zouk! - i was pretty stressed coz firstly, i was sick - still recovering from fever and sore throat - and I had to interview people on a very vague lead - to obtain quotes - but that was tough since it was only 1st day of conference and not many people had comments for the "overal" opinion of the conference. Okay or blame it on my rudimentary skills in writing press releases! Seesh. Ironic. This is precisely why I didn't go into Journalism - because I really don't wish to be a journalist - gathering data, interviewing people and writing news - because I don't have the heck one ounce bit flair for recognising what is news!

OH well, but GEH KHIANG! I act thick-skinned and say I can do ANYTHING! If i wanted to. So here I have it. I had to really struggle through the morning till after lunch, when I was due to return to office to collate data.

Not to mention, my throat felt even more hoarse like a rock was in it - and my nose bled.

Argh.. took a cab home and just sprawled onto the bed... listening to "Bring it on" by Steven Curtis Chapman and wondering to God - HELP ME!

Bring It On
Steven Curtis Chapman
Album: Declaration of Dependence

I didn't come lookin' for trouble
And I don't want to fight needlessly
But I'm not gonna hide in a bubble
If trouble comes for me
I can feel my heart beating faster
I can tell something's coming down
But if it's gonna make me grow stronger then?

Bring it on
Let the lightning flash, let the thunder roll,
let the storm winds blow
Bring it on
Let the trouble come, let the hard rain fall,
let it make me strong
Bring it on

Now, maybe you're thinkin' I'm crazy
And maybe I need to explain some things
Cause I know I've got an enemy waiting
Who wants to bring me pain
But what he never seems to remember
What he means for evil
God works for good
So I will not retreat or surrender

CHORUS

Now, I don't want to sound like some hero
Cause it's God alone that my hope is in
But I'm not gonna run from the very things
That would drive me closer to Him
So bring it on

Bring it on, Let the lightning flash,
let the thunder roll, let the storm winds blow
Bring it on, Let the trouble come,
let it make me fall on the One who?s strong
Bring it on, Let the lightning flash,
let the thunder roll, let the storm winds blow
Bring it on, Let me be made weak so I?ll know
the strength of the One who's strong
Bring it on
Bring it on
