Cell Group Leader Appreciation



It was CG Leader Appreciation night. On this special day, CG leaders are supposed to take a break while all CG members will say some appreciation words to CG leaders to thank him/her for all the hardwork and effort in leading our CGs. However, on this special day, our CG Leader, Benji, was far at Sri Lanka for Mission Trip.

Jon was leading us that night. He chose a very beautiful song, and together we practiced the song in 1 hour. Later, we recorded the song using normal digital camera. Our two photographers - Daniel & Damien - are busy snapping away our pictures. In <48 hours, Daniel did a great presentation slide for our handsome CG leader in youtube. We sent the link to Benji when he's back from Sri Lanka. Of course, he felt touched - just wonder if he cries. :)

Anyway, it was a fun night. I thank God for our CG leader, and also all the lovely CG members.

Lyrics:
I dreamed I went to Heaven, you were there with me.
We walked upon the streets of gold beside the Crystal Sea.
We heard the angels singing, then someone called your name.
You turned and saw this young man,
and he was smiling as he came.

He said, "Friend you may not know me now,"
and then he said, "But wait -
You used to lead our CG, Friday night at eight.
And every week you would say a prayer before the time to part.
And one day when you said that prayer,
I asked Jesus in my heart."

Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.

Then another man stood before you,
he said "Remember the time,
A missionary came to your church, his pictures made you cry.
You didn't have much money but you gave it anyway.
Jesus took that gift you gave
And that's why I'm in Heaven today"

Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.

One by one they came, far as your eyes could see.
Each life somehow touched by your generosity.
Little things that you had done, sacrifices that you made,
They were unnoticed on this earth
In Heaven now proclaimed.

Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.

And I know up in Heaven you're not supposed to cry
But I am almost sure there were tears in your eyes
As Jesus took your hand and you stood before the Lord
He said "My child look around you,
Great is your reward."

Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave,
I am so glad you gave.

Hmm..could you please cry again during CG time. I guess all of us would love to see and feel how deep is the impact. Hehehe...
