To the Praise of His Glorious Grace

this is a song that i have been listening to while doing my work. i love the first stanza :)DSC02426_editted

With astonishing mercy and power;
in accord with His pleasure and will

He created each planet, each flower,
every galaxy, microbe and hill;

He suspended this planet in space
to the praise of His glorious grace,

To the praise of His glorious grace,
to the praise of His glorious grace.DSC02439 

Providentially ruling all things
to conform to the end He designed,
He mysteriously governs and brings
His eternal wise plans into time.
He works out every step, every trace,
to the praise of His glorious grace,
To the praise of His glorious grace,
to the praise of His glorious grace.

Long before the creation began,
He foreknew those He’d ransom in Christ;
Long before time’s cold hourglass ran,
He ordained the supreme Sacrifice.
In the Cross He removed our disgrace,
to the praise of His glorious grace,
To the praise of His glorious grace,
to the praise of His glorious grace.

We were blessed in the heavenly realms
long before being included in Christ.
Since we heard the good news, overwhelmed,
we reach forward to seize Paradise.
We shall see Him ourselves, face to face,
to the praise of His glorious grace,
To the praise of His glorious grace,
to the praise of His glorious grace.SONY DSC 

this is probably the best way to present some of the photos taken at sungei buloh. mostly creepy-crawlies here, which im not a big fan of, but just seeing how they live under the providence of God is just so breath-taking. look at the second last photo. it is an ant's nest, created from fusing two leaves together. isn't it just amazing what the Designer of this world can do?

An advise for all who go sungei buloh:
1. Bring mozzie repellant
2. Wear long pants/skirts
If having none of the above,
3. Go with a loved one and all will be well:)

Thank God for the blessing of this natural sanctuary in the midst of the urban singapore:) twas a great blessing to walk and sing (on the tree tops)! oh there's wireless too!
