This morning I heard a Hillsong hymn that I've known for 20 years. Because I know the lyrics so well, I tried to record it for my content while driving to work.

At first, I sang it with memories of my youth, but halfway through the song, my feelings changed and for some reason I cried because I remembered how difficult it was to sing that song with a smile like 20 years ago, amidst my most difficult situation that I've been going through for the past 7 months.

"Lord, You are my reason to live and my reason to sing."

For the past 7 months I've stepped down from my ministry as a Song Leader in church, this song broke my heart.

Currently, I'm reorganizing my life.
Friends, we may not know each other and haven't meet physically, but I believe we can strengthen and pray for each other. Please pray for me, so that I can recover from the financial downturn I'm experiencing. Thank you very much, God who will reward you. Amen.

This is the full lyric of the hymn:

WITH ALL I AM

Into Your hands I commit again
With all I am, for You, Lord
You hold my world in the palm of Your hand
And I am Yours forever

Jesus I believe in You, Jesus I belong to You
You're the reason that I live, the reason that I sing, with all I am

I'll walk with You, wherever You go
Through tears and joy I'll trust in You
And I will live in all of Your ways
And Your promises, forever

Jesus I believe in You, Jesus I belong to You
You're the reason that I live, the reason that I sing with all I am
