My Korea Trip ( 5/3/15 - 10/3/15) - Part 1

As this is my first time going to korea, I got very excited for this trip as it was the winter season. Finally, I am able to experience winter.

I arrived at Korea at around 3.15pm on the 5.3.15. I nearly lost my luggage on that very day cos the queue at the customs was pretty long. Good thing that my luggage bag is bright in colour, so managed to go to the lost & found section to get back my luggage bag.

My friends and I decided to take the subway to the hostel cos the cab will take more than an hour to arrive at the hostel that we booked.

On the subway to the hostel 

Here's a picture of relief goods storage in the subway...dunno what is it for ...

Upon arriving, we then realized that there are a lot of staircases to climb and no lift so have to carry up the luggage like this to go to the hostel.

So we ended up for the first night for some thing cheap for the dinner after feeling tired. As we planned for an early trip to go out the next morning , to visit a lot of places.

Easter

This Easter is somehow different for me...Being introduced to these 2 new songs yesterday at my church's service ..which I hope non Christians would begin to understand why Christians are being so thankful towards God the Father as He sent his son, Jesus to die for us on the cross.

I hope to share with you people on these 2 songs...especially for those who are weary , facing tough situations in life.

 Mercy Rewrote My Life Lyrics

For years I traveled a road all wrong
My heart had lost its joy and its song
Till grace placed me right where I belong
When mercy rewrote my life

Chorus:
Mercy rewrote my life
Mercy rewrote my life
I could have fallen my soul cast down
But mercy rewrote my life

(key change)
Verse:
My mistakes God turned into miracles
And all of my tears He turned into Joy
Then my past was forgiven and my new name it was written
When mercy rewrote my life

Chorus:

Mercy Saw Me Lyrics

The years had left scars, the scars had left pain.
How could He recognize me? I wasn't the same.
I knew I should pay and I knew the price,
but justice and law demanded my life.
His tender heart heard my desperate cry
and He saw my past through merciful eyes.

Beautiful! That's how Mercy saw me.
Though I was broken and so lost,
but Mercy looked past all my faults.
The justice of God saw what I had done,
but Mercy saw me through the Son.
Not what I was but what I should be,
that's how Mercy saw me.

Wherever you go, you can't go too far
that His eyes of Mercy can't see where you are.
Yes He loves you too much to leave you alone.
No He won't leave you alone.
Yes, you're flesh of His flesh yes you are, yes you are
and you're bone of His bone.
Yet His heart cries out for your heart today.
See yourself through His eyes and then you can say:
Sin had stolen my dignity and all my self esteem,
but I was made brand new again
when Mercy looked past me.

Beautiful! That's how Mercy saw me.
Though I was broken and so lost not too long ago,
but Mercy looked past all my faults.
The justice of God saw what I had done,
but Mercy saw me through the Son.
Not what I was, but what I could be that's how Mercy saw me.
For not what I was, but what I could be, that's how Jesus saw me.
 

I hope all out there could also experience the love of God just like what I experience.

 

Blessed weekend!!!!!
