So, this weeks song is one from the forthcoming album "Heaven & Earth' of the incredible Phil Wickham. I encourage you to check him out if you've never heard him before... and PLEASE pick up "Heaven & Earth!
Peace -
Cielo
I'm walking through the bright white gates
breathing in and out your grace
all around me melodies rise
that echo with the joy inside
so I start to sing
but I can't sing loud enough
I can't sing loud enough
when I'm singing for You my God
I can't sing loud enough
I can't sing loud enough
when I'm singing for You my God
With a thunder roll and a brilliant light
your glory boasts and the heavens shine
the saints and angels stand in awe
captured by the beauty of it all
so I fall to my knees
but I can't bow low enough
I can't bow low enough
at the vision of You my God
I can't hold it all inside
I'm reaching for the One who brought me
out of death and into life
but I can't lift my hands high enough
lift my hands high enough
when I'm reaching for You my God
I'm reaching for You
I'm reaching for You
I'm reaching for You my God

My beautiful housemate Teish and I went on an excursion to the city on a lovely spring day last week... This trip included Sydney Harbour, the Rocks, and Teish's first ever Starbucks experience... Here are a few pictures of our adventures!
Here is the episode of the week... this week I decided to change things up a bit - and include the music video to the song! Enjoy!

Beautiful Ending
Oh, tragedy has taken so many
Love lost cause they all forgot who You were
And it scares me to think that I would choose
My life over You my selfish heart
Divides me from You it tears us apart
So tell me what is our ending?
Will it be beautiful
So beautiful?
Oh, why do I let myself let go
Of hands that painted the stars and hold tears that fall?
And the pride of my heart makes me forget
It's not me but You who makes the heart beat
I'm lost without You and dying from me
So tell me what is our ending?
Will it be beautiful
So beautiful?
Will my life find me by Your side?
Your love is beautiful
So beautiful
At the end of it all
I wanna be in Your arms
At the end of it all
I wanna be in Your arms
At the end of it all
I wanna be in Your arms
At the end of it all
I wanna be in Your arms
So tell me what is our ending?
Will it be beautiful
So beautiful?
Will my life find me by Your side?
Your love is beautiful
So beautiful

Today was the release of Hillsong United's iHeart Revolution documentary: We're All In This Together.
Four years in the making...
Over 3 years of filming...
Over 2000 individual tapes...
Over 150,000 minutes of footage...
Over 25,600 gigabytes of memory space...
Edited... over 550 days...
Thursday at 11.00am Sydney time (6.00pm Wednesday Central Time) Hillsong United broadcasted live to over 600 cinemas across the United States and Canada from the Hillsong Convention Centre in Baulkham Hills, NSW.
United introduced a couple of brand-new songs never before heard outside of the church... I had the privilege of being a part of this incredible, life changing documentary.
I encourage you (yes YOU) to get into the local cinema and watch this film!
I pray that this film causes you to think.
I pray it causes you to change
I hope that we will get of our bums... get out of our comfort-zones, and do what was
commanded of us:
"Anyone who sets himself up as "religious" by talking a good game is self-deceived. This kind of religion is hot air and only hot air. Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight, and guard against corruption from the godless world." - James 1:26-27
On Sunday I had the opportunity to go to a taping of an episode of Australian Idol here in Sydney.
A bunch of us girls took the train from the Hills District (where we reside) to Central Station - from there we took the bus to Fox studios where the taping was held in studio.
It was the top 6 performing songs from Film & Theatre - and the guest judge was Liza Minnelli.
To Build A Home
There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills...
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust..
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home...
Cause, I built a home
for you, for me
Until it disappeared
from me, from you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust........
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me......
Cause, I built a home
for you, for me
Until it disappeared
from me, from you
