Concert @ the Esplandar

This night I went out on a date with my fellow colleague, F_Goh. A nice shy guy. But i think he really know what I like too. He gotta a pair of tickets to a concert in Esplandar. Though I don't know who the singer is, the going to Esplandar is just too appealing to me. So, I said yes immediately when he asked me four days ago. Geez, I am really weak in resisting things that i like.

Nevertheless, the date went well, i thought. The singer turned to be Deb Fung, an Australian gospel singer. She is of the same genre as Corrinne May. Geez, I love Corrinne May's songs, so i think i will also like her songs. And it is true enough, her songs were very nice too. As her songs, like Corrinne May's, do carry some gospelic messages, that is why, there were several moments in the concert that I have to fight back my tears. I am rather an emotion person, especially when it comes to the light that seem so dim in the current darkness, yet so true.

This is one of the songs that drive me to tears (no matter how i'd fought.. geez just hope that F_goh didnt see it) during the concert:

Home (Written and sang by Deb Fung)
Oh the fight to belong
I'd walk the wire and pretend to be strong
Deny that still small voice in me
Reminding me I'm already set free

To find that peace in my soul
When pain and pressure seem the ones in control
Though Justice falls in the streets
And lies and oppression are the forces we meet

Oh how I long to be home
Like all creation aches and groans waiting
Renewed forever to be
Sharing in the beauty of my Father's eternity
Oh how I long to be home
When shadows fless and I am never alone
If I could just find the strength to believe
The promise of the place you've set for me

Oh the fight to be true
When this world places the spotlight on you
What is the price of a dream
The weight of choices remaining unseen?

Fear not my love, I will come
A day's appointed, yet known by no one
I'll raze the past to the ground
And gather you home where you'll be safe and sound

Oh how I long to be home
Like all creation aches and groans waiting
Renewed forever to be
Sharing in the beauty of my Father's eternity
Oh just to be in that place
Where I can reach out and touch your face
To see the strength of your light
As it pierces the darkness turning faith to sight
If I could just find the strength to believe
The promise of the place you've set for me
The place you've set for me
The place you've set for me
