Counting down to 2009

My first watchnight service at PPH was quite interesting. Unlike my previous church, the programme was more fluid and there was time allocated for people to share any thanksgiving items or reflections. It was also really beautiful hearing both the Chinese and English congregation singing together in their respective languages.

Towards the end, there was a 'family dance' segment which was quite good fun. Unfortunately the steps got too complicated for us old foggies although I was glad to learn a new song:

Testify to Love by Avalon

All the colors of the rainbow
All the voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the Hope in every heart will speak what love has done
