- I Passed my Audition!!! -

When I 1st attended LightHouse's Miracle Service in March, I went in and felt the Peace. Its something which I have not felt in a long time.

When the worship session starts, the feeling is so good. Everyone was singing and worshipping the Lord and although I don't know the songs, being a person who loves singing, I joined in to sing looking at the lyrics on the screen. LoL...

I noticed other than the Worship Leaders who consist of 2 sisters and 1 brother, there is a group of Choir at the back of the stage backing up the 3 Worship Leaders. Its the 1st time i notice them.

After a few months in Lighthouse, I came to know that different ministries does different things and all the people who serve are called Lighters. As for the choir, they are called Praislighters. Praislighters belong to a ministry called Praislight which provides backup support singing for the English worship services.

From then on, I was thinking whether I should join this ministry cos I love singing. Kai Ma and Kai Yeh both encourage me to give it a try. Last month, there is a calling for recruitment of Praislighters. I decide to give it a try.

To use the gift that God has given me to serve him is the best way to serve!

Sister Girle called me up and ask me to go for Audition, I was told to prepare a song and it will be sang in A Cappella, no music, just pure voice. Preferably christian song. After which, they will check my vocal range. Sad to say, although I love to sing, I don't know my vocal range. LoL... No proper music training before too.

I was struggling as to which song to sing. Ryan suggested that I should sing "Above All" but the lyrics of it is so complicated. Alot of different Above All to memorise. So I was thinking whether to sing "Still/Be Still and Know" or "All the Earth" by Don Moen. These are the 2 songs which I like, then another song came into my mind "I Belong to You" a Lighthouse self composed song by brother Douglas or is it Pastor Pacer. LoL. Decided to sing "Still/ Be Still and Know" and started practicing it.

But few days before the Audition, I decide listen to Ryan's suggestion to sing "Above All"! Got the lyrics and started memorising it!

The day came, 8th August 2009, 5pm at Shalom room. Was there and a sister is already there. There were a total of 5 who came for this audition, I am the only guy there. At 5pm Sister Girle and Nova came and told us that the audition is on a first come first serve basis but the sister who came before me ask me to go 1st, ok then. I will go 1st!

Was in Shalom room and both sisters say, sing when you are ready. Started singing... Was asked to stop before I went into chorus. After that, sister Girle played on the keyboard to check my vocal range.

Was asked to go out of the room to wait while the 2 sisters discuss. After about 30secs, I was asked to go in again. Sister Girle told me some administration requirements that I have to meet before joining, some of which I have not met, but she still passed my Audition! I am in Praislight!!! :D

Praise The Lord!!

- Above All -

Ever since I started attending Lighthouse's Miracle service every Saturday Nite, there are many songs which are sang during the Worship session that have touched me and I really like. This song 《Above All》is one of them. It should b playing at the background already. Below is the lyrics. Enjoy!

Above All

Verse
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Chorus
Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Repeat Verse
Repeat Chorus

Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
