Spirit of God

 

Spirit of God

1.  Spirit of God in the clear running water

     Blowing to greatness the trees on the hill.

     Spirit of God in the finger of morning

     fill the earth bring it to birth

     and blow where You will.

Chorus:

Blow, blow, blow till I be

But breath of the Spirit blowing in me.

2.  Down in the meadow the willows are moaning,

     sheep in the pasture land cannot lie still.

     Spirit of God, creation is groaning,

     fill the earth bring it to birth

     and blow where You will.

3.  Spirit of God, ev'ry man's heart is lonely,

     watching and waiting and hungry until,

     Spirit of God, man longs that You only

     fulfil the earth bring it to birth

     and blow where You will.

Spirit Song

Spirit Song

O, let the Son of God enfold you

with His spirit and His love.

Let Him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

O, let Him have the things that hold you 

and His spirit like a dove,

Will descend upon your life and make you whole

Chorus:

Jesus, O, Jesus

Come and fill Your lambs

Jesus, O, Jesus

Come and fill Your lambs

O, come and sing this song with gladness

as your hearts are filled with joy.

Lift your hands in sweet surrender to His name.

O, give Him all your tears and sadness,

give Him all your years of pain.

And you'll enter into life in Jesus' name.

All Man's Labour Can Produce

All Man's Labour Can Produce

Refrain: 

May this lowly bread and wine

Be the sacrifice divine

Of our Saviour Jesus Christ!

Of our Saviour Jesus Christ!

1.  All man's labour can produce,

    You have given for our use;

     Take, O Lord, our offering!

2. On this gift of bread and wine,

    Of our sacrifice a sign,

    Father, look with favour now!

3.  May this food which strength imparts,

     Bring refreshment to our hearts, 

     And a taste of joy to come!

St Anthony Church

I took the above picture and the pictures below yesterday.  I wanted to show the present now as compared to the St Anthony of several years back. The signage had been changed also but the words remains the same.  It read: Church of St Anthony: God Knows Your Past and He Offers You A Future

I have stayed in Woodlands for close to 30years.  Over the years I had seen the changes to the church -- the priests, the premises and the eucharistic celebrations.  In the early years the priests were Father John Khoo and Father Eugene Chong.  Now Father Eugene is back.  After that it was Father Vincent Chee, Father Terence and Father Cyril.  Next, it was Father Andrew, Father Gerard, Father John Lau... and now Father Ignatius.  

I am very happy with the present church.  In the past, the speaker was not so good, I could not really hear the homily well from the back of the church.  Now the speaker is good, the priest speak audibly well, loud and clear.  I love to listen to their homily.  

This is the church where Richard had his baptism and confirmation.  Last time it was RCIA.  My 3 children had their baptism in this church also.  They attended catechism classes here, received their First Holy Communion but never finished confirmation.
