With this year's annual retreat fresh in her mind, the Swallow found herself recalling a song taught by one of her Sunday School teachers when she was in her secondary school days. In those days, putting scripture in songs was a popular way to learn God's words. Many of the verses that the Swallow remembers nowadays stem from that period of time.
IT'S NO LONGER I THAT LIVETH (author unknown)
It's no longer I that liveth
But Christ that liveth in me
It's no longer I that liveth
But Christ that liveth in me
He lives, He lives
Jesus is alive in me
It's no longer I that liveth
But Christ that liveth in me.
When she first learnt the song, the song was just another song. With her love for singing, she would sing this song more for the catchy tune and the easy-to-remember words. However, having gone a while in her journey towards knowing and loving the Lord Jesus Christ, this song is no longer a mere song. Instead, it is a reflection of her desire to realise the verse in her life.
