My name is Marcus
And I am unstoppable
I don't flirt with or date the church
I'm not infatuated with the church
I have no illusion that the church is perfect
What I have is a commitment to love God's church
Not just with words but with my hands and feet
I'll neither point finger nor look further for the answers in the mirror
I believe God's not dead; He's building the church He died for
A living miracle of a bunch of imperfect people loving imperfect people
I believe God has called us to build this church without walls
My name is Marcus
I am a living stone of God's church
And together we are unstoppable

An Adequate Thank You
I've written many socio-political essays, countless corporate application forms, and even an engineering thesis on real-life complexities. But how does one adequately write a thank you? Through the many years of being a recipient of Your blessings, I find myself counting the many instances and acknowledging the fact that there is simply no way of fully describing how thankful I am to have You in my life. If I were to pen down every nitty gritty, I guess that still, would be a severe understatement to all that You have done in my life.
Considering the times where I was not doing so well, and when I was in a desperate need for someone to revive my lacklustre heart, You did it in ways so unthinkable, so unfathomable. Even when I was so emotionally reclusive to people around me, You placed a song that gripped my heart.
I guess I'm really nowhere near in being able to write an adequate thank you, but 3 years later a song would seem like a better fit, summing up the entirety of feelings I have concluded since 2009. Many would applaud the song for its heartfelt tunes, well placed lyrical balance... But as for me, it was a life journey - one with many hills and troughs - together with the faithful One, whom in all things, orchestrated the melodies of life according to His perfect will and plans.
I want to simply follow You.
And here is my thank You, for all You have done.
