One Way Jesus

I lay my life down at your feet
You're the only one i need
I turn to you and you are always there

In troubled times it's you i seek
I put you first that's all i need
I humble all i am, All to you

One way
Jesus
You're the only one that i could live for
One Way
Jesus
You're the only one that i could live for

You are always, always there
Every how and everywhere
Your grace abounds so deeply within me

You will never ever change
Yesterday today the same
Forever till forever meets no end

One way
Jesus
You're the only one that i could live for
One Way
Jesus
You're the only one that i could live for

You are the way the truth and the light
We live by faith and not by sight ... for you
We're living all for you

This is the song that my cat class is supposed to perform for our Talent Time on the 26th of August. *sigh*

Listening to this song just makes me sad, or rather hypocritical. I don't think anyone except my parents/sis knows this but I haven't attended mass for more than a month. Just don't feel like going. Somehow I either feel too tired or just can't bring myself to go. Why eh, I also don't know. It's ironic that I'm in church every week still for cat class, but not for mass. Maybe, just maybe I'll go tomorrow. Anyway, I'm supposed to attend mass with the Nellers on Sun. Supposed.

On a lighter note, work is getting better I guess. Officially completed a month of work. Will have to think of long-term plan soon. Soon.

We have our own personal reasons for not attending mass and I am not surprised that you have taken this path for now. I have felt drained and weary before with regards to attending mass. Perhaps it is due to the fact that I go alone most of the times right now and mass just seems so distant and alien. Fellow Catholics sitting all around me are engaged in their own affairs, talking amongst themselves. It doesn't help that kids are running around making so much noise. There is literally no peace and quiet in the Church during mass. For me, the beauty and power of mass is lost amidst the daily noise that is now the hallmark of every Catholic mass I attend. Instead of the community of believers all united in fellowship to worship God, mass has been reduced to a routinized affair, almost like going to the market to buy things. There are times when I am able to feel the presence and love of God during mass and this makes it worthwhile to go. Sadly, such moments are few and far between these days.
