This is a powerful worship song. The music is so beautiful. Focusing on Jesus alone can really help us to worship. It's just so awesome! May Beautiful Saviour bring you into the Holy of Holies.....

Special Feature - Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman





Released October, 2007, Steven Curtis Chapman's latest album 'This moment' brought to this world new songs with a very special song included called 'Cinderella'. Guess what? It's on Lite FM today. Twice I heard. It's so wonderful to hear Christian singer on our national radio. Cool! Well, if you miss it and have never heard of this song, you can visit the official site http://www.stevencurtischapman.com/ and click to listen!

It's such a beautiful song written by a father for his cinderellas. The heart of a father who knows them the princes never knew. This song is indeed for every woman. Yes, for all the Cinderellas out there. In the same way, When God dances with us, He dances with 'Cinderella'. That's what God sees in us!

How often can I introduce new songs? by Paul Baloche

Great guidelines from Paul Baloche! At the moment, our worship team introduces 1 new song a month. By saying 'new song', we are officially singing the introduced song for at least 3 weeks continually. It may not even be new in the market. We take great consideration of the congregation's need. A new song a month, is what we think, most comfortable for everyone including the worship team. Having said that, we do introduce more than 1 new song a month once in awhile. The guideline is to guide us. But we are all free to change when we feel inspired to do so. May be in future, we may increase our new songs when we are all more prepared. :)
