			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://leonlimkokweng.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/1099280_vintage_microphone.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1702" title="1099280_vintage_microphone" src="http://leonlimkokweng.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/1099280_vintage_microphone.jpg" alt="1099280_vintage_microphone" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><strong>I have finally learnt how to stream the songs! Hallelujah! </strong>It was so tough trying to understand it but now. It is done!</p>
<p>This is a demo of the song we&#8217;ve done in the studio some weeks back. We&#8217;ve introduced it to the congregation last week. I&#8217;m leading it this week. What do you think of the song? <strong>Please please please share your comments. </strong>We need to gather your feedback as we&#8217;re deciding which songs to put into our album that we&#8217;re working on.</p>
<p><strong>How did this song come to life?</strong></p>
<p>Pastor&#8217;s inspired song was kept shelved for years. The project in which this song was supposed to be part of got shelved because of various reasons. When I came here, this was what I was assigned to do. <strong>Revive this project.</strong> We are naming it &#8216;Everlasting Project&#8217;! The joke is that this project was everlasting and never would be finished.</p>
<p><strong>My understanding would be that this project will be everlasting and will continue to glorify God for the longest time! Amen?</strong></p>
<p>So I was given 10 songs&#8230;.the first one I worked on was this one. I was inspired to change the feel of the song. Bringing slightly slower and give it a more modern ballad feel. I&#8217;m wondering now if i should post up the old version for you all to hear the difference&#8230;..nah&#8230;.hahaha. <strong>I&#8217;m so glad my boss allowed me to change his song slightly. Also he allowed me to post this up. I&#8217;m so honored. </strong></p>
<p>I also changed the song to have two keys. The verse and the chorus being different keys to raise the feeling and mood of the song to focus on God.</p>
<p>Here are the lyrics of the song for your reference:</p>
<p><em>Verse:<br />
No greater beauty I&#8217;ll ever see<br />
No deeper wisdom can ever be<br />
No Peace of mind I&#8217;ll ever find<br />
Than what I&#8217;ve found in you</em></p>
<p><em>Verse (cont&#8217;d):<br />
*No ocean wider than Your open arms<br />
No mountain higher than Your mercy<br />
No place on earth has purer love<br />
Than what I&#8217;ve found in you</em></p>
<p><em>Chorus:<br />
In You there&#8217;s hope for the hopeless<br />
In You rest forevermore<br />
In You there&#8217;s faith and forgiveness<br />
Healing for sickness in You</em></p>
<p><em>Chorus (cont&#8217;d)<br />
In You, in You<br />
There&#8217;s strength for tomorrow<br />
In You joy for our sorrow<br />
In You unmerited favour in Jesus our Saviour<br />
And that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve found in</em></p>
<p><strong>Song Composer : Lee Meng Cham</strong></p>
<p><strong>Singer :¬† *blush* me. So it is not so nice ok?¬† heehehe</strong></p>
<p><strong>A player will appear below&#8230;please wait<br />
</strong></p>

<p><em>This is a picture of our beautiful studio in church</em></p>
<p>I have been given responsibility of a <strong>huge projec</strong>t and I&#8217;m really really nervous. It is the church&#8217;s CD project. This year we will be coming up with a live worship album! I&#8217;m so excited at the same time very nervous and worried. The timeline seems to past too fast.</p>
<p>There will be a <strong>Live Worship </strong>at my church at the end of the year and it will be <strong>recorded into an album</strong> of all entirely Grace written songs. If I am fortunate enough and if the songs are good enough, you will hear some of them in the album. The recording process and song writing process that we&#8217;ve been doing so far is pretty exciting. I can&#8217;t wait.</p>
<p><a href="http://leonlimkokweng.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/snc00575.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1594" title="Closer look" src="http://leonlimkokweng.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/snc00575-300x225.jpg" alt="Closer look" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><em>Closer look at the board!</em></p>
<p>The <strong>pressure to perform and to make it nice is also killing me. </strong>I don&#8217;t know if I can do it! For any Grace member who reads this blog. Join me in the excitement. You&#8217;ll be hearing these songs introduced to you in the worship services very soon. We want to hear your feedback on which song really blesses you and we&#8217;ll choose the best to be placed in the album.</p>
<p>Also<strong> if you have written songs. Submit them! Quickly. </strong>We covet your songs! Spread the word around. Just send me the song with a vocal and an instrument playing and we&#8217;ll do the rest. If your song has the potential to make it, it will sound great, trust me <img src='http://leonlimkokweng.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>For the rest, I will work on streaming the song demos for you all to hear. <strong>Give us your feedback ok?</strong> Tell us if you love it or loathe it. We want honest feedbacks. Thank you.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m sick!!! Sob Sob, down with a sore throat and flu but yet I decided that its time to let you hear what the song sounds like.</p>
<p>My nose was running, throat was aching when I did this. I hope you all don&#8217;t laugh at my voice. This may not be a very good first impression HAHAHA.</p>
<p>This is just a draft as there maybe somethings you guys can point out so I can make this better. Also I did this with my notebook microphone so please bear with the sound quality. I don&#8217;t have all my stuff back here yet.</p>
<p>Presenting to you <span style="color: #008000;">LADIES AND GENTLEMEN</span>!</p>
