FOR ALL YOU OEXers OUT THERE

So I have a bunch of books on the go right now, and for one of them, the bookmark I'm using happens to be a random piece of paper that I found in my clipboard. Turns out it's from OEX debrief, where a certain song was performed by Kolten and I for the rest of the group to enjoy. Here then, is the song in its entirety (I don't think we had a title for it):

Sung to the tune of "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by GreenDay


Another turning point, a chopstick in the road
God grabs you by the heart, directs you where to go
So make the best of this life and don't ask why
We're in this world, but walk by faith and not by sight

He's often unpredictable, but His plan is always right
Let's glorify our God with our lives

So take the memories of five weeks just gone by
With all the things you've learned, now go and multiply
And pray that East Asia would one day be the best
At sending from its nation to all of the rest

He works in ways we cannot see, He's pure and holy light
Let's glorify our God with our lives

(instrumental...Adam on guitar, me attempting to make violin sounds)

One day every knee will bow at the sound of Jesus' name
For us to live is Him, to die will be our gain
Go ye thereforth and tell the world about the Son
He's always with us, so what challenge can't be won

He's always there to lead us on, He's with us day or night
Let's glorify our God with our lives

Father, Son and Spirit, our Treasure and our Prize
We'll glorify our God with our lives


I must say it was a lot of fun sitting down and writing out those songs. If I ever come across the lyrics to the one we did at OEX orientation, I'll be sure to put them up too. I vaguely recall the words but not all of them.
