What a Beautiful Name (Hillsong Worship)


You were the Word at the beginning
One With God the Lord Most High
Your hidden glory in creation
Now revealed in You our Christ
What a beautiful Name it is
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a beautiful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
You didn't want heaven without us
So Jesus, You brought heaven down
My sin was great, Your love was greater
What could separate us now
What a wonderful Name it is
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a wonderful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
Death could not hold you, the veil tore before you
You silenced the boast, of sin and grave
The heavens are roaring, the praise of your glory
For you are raised to life again

You have no rival, you have no equal
Now and forever, God you reign
Yours is the kingdom, yours is the glory
Yours is the name above all names

Praying for Singapore 2018 schedule

2018 has been designated Year of Prayer, as we enter into a time of contending for the Lord's purposes for our nation. "Consecrate a fast: call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord." (Joel 1:14)

Here is a summary of what has been planned:
1. 40-day prayer (July 1 - August 7).  Over a span of six weeks, 24 churches will helm a time of prayer nightly -- so as to cover the North, East, West and Central areas of Singapore. Here is the schedule of where to go to join fellow believers in prayer during this time. "
2. Day of His Power (8 August) - Singapore Indoor Stadium
3. Walk of Love (9 August)
4. National Prayer Convocation (7 Oct - National Stadium, 4 -7pm)
And of course, there are still the weekly prayer meetings going on which one can participate in.  These include the daily 6.30 - 8.30am prayer meetings at Kum Yan Methodist Church (including public holidays) and city@prayer every Friday 12.30pm - 1.30pm at St Andrew's Cathedral.

If my people, who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Billy Graham National Stadium crusade, Singapore (1978)

For those of us too young to remember, the Billy Graham crusade took place at the National Stadium for five nights, from 6 - 10 December, 1978. It united 237 churches, drew 337,000 attendees, and recorded 12,000 conversions. It was at these meetings that Billy Graham prophesised over Singapore our destiny to be the Antioch of Asia.



2018 marks the 40th year of this prophetic word (In the Bible, 40 years, 70 years or 100 years all signify a generation).

It marks a transition year: what the Lord is saying, and what He will do, I know not yet. But there is a significance to the times and seasons we are in; would those of us who love Singapore press in to hear the Father's heart for our land?

An earlier generation paid the price to bring the gospel to Singapore and Asia.  Only let us keep the fire burning in our generation, too.

"One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts" (Psalm 145:4)
