Be Not Afraid

August12

You shall cross the barren desert,
but you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety,
though you do not know the way.

You shall speak your words in foreign lands,
and all will understand,
You shall see the face of God and live.

Be not afraid,
I go before you always,
Come follow Me,
and I shall give you rest.

If you pass through raging waters
in the sea, you shall not drown.
If you walk amidst the burning flames,
you shall not be harmed.

If you stand before the pow’r of hell
and death is at your side,
know that I am with you, through it all

Be not afraid,
I go before you always,
Come follow Me,
and I shall give you rest.

Blessed are your poor,
for the Kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn,
for one day you shall laugh.

And if wicked men insult and hate you, all because of Me,
blessed, blessed are you!

Be not afraid,
I go before you always,
Come follow Me,
and I shall give you rest.

Ok God. I am not afraid. Lead me.

The World Is Just Awesome!

July8

I found this video few days ago. After few googling, I figure out from Wikipedia that I Love the World is an advertising campaign launched by Discovery Channel this year (must be recently) in promotion of their new tagline: “The World is Just… Awesome”. Makes me smile everytime I hear its distinctive “boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda”. Indeed, despite all the conflicts, ugly polictics, disasters, diseases, etc… our world is just simply AWESOME.

I must admit, Discovery channel has market itself well this time. I love it so much. And the way Hawking says“boom-de-yadda” is simply wow.

You can see the ‘live’ version here, download the mp3 here. And if you happens to have portable video player, consider downloading the video (mp4) here. The links I have just given you are legal. The lyric is below.

It never gets old, huh?
Nope.
It kinda makes you want to…
Break into song?
Yep.

I love the mountains,
I love the clear blue skies
I love big bridges
I love when great whites fly
I love the whole world

And all its sights and sounds

Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda
Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda

I love the oceans
I love real dirty things
I love to go fast
I love Egyptian kings
I love the whole world

And all its craziness

Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda
Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda

I love tornadoes
I love arachnids
I love hot magma
I love the giant squids
I love the whole world,

it’s such a brilliant place

Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda
Boom-de-yadda…

Wondering if I should make the Indonesian version…

I love the country,
I love the es cendol
I love ayam penyet sambal
I love when mie tek tek comes
I love the whole country

hmmm…
