Saving Grace

The following video is an official video of Kodaline’s Saving Grace, a song about how people experience the current pandemic. I found the video so touching. So far I could see that this corona virus pandemic strips away all the inessentials in our lives, showing us again what really matters in life.

Deep down in our hearts, we all crave for LOVE.

That’s the message I’ve got seeing this video. And addition to that, the lyrics is also so empowering. Here are the lines from Google:

When you're out in the open
And you're tired of hopin'
I'll be there in a moment
I'll be by your side
When you're scared and you're lonely
When there's no one to hold you
I just want you to know that
I'll be by your side
You keep me strong when I can't carry on
When you lose your feet
Fall down to your knees and your heart's about to break
I will be your saving grace
When your eyes can't see, take my eyes from me
When you're lost and losing faith
I will be your saving grace
Be my, be my, be my saving grace
Won't you be my, be my, be my saving grace
When my heart's getting older
And my body is breakin' down
In my head yeah I know that I'll be by your side
I don't know about the future
No one knows what the future holds
All I know is I know that I'm giving you my life
You keep me strong when I can't carry on
When you lose your feet
Fall down to your knees and your heart's about to break
I will be your saving grace
When your eyes can't see, take my eyes from me
When you're lost and losing faith
I will be your saving grace
Be my, be my, be my saving grace
Won't you be my, be my, be my saving grace
Won't you be my, be my, be my saving grace
Won't you... be my saving grace
You keep me strong when I can't carry on
Oh
When you lose your feet
Fall down to your knees and your heart's about to break
I will be your saving grace
When your eyes can't see, take my eyes from me
When you're lost and losing faith
I will be your saving grace
Be my, be my, be my saving grace
Won't you be my, be my, be my saving grace
Won't you be my, be my, be my saving grace
Won't you be my, be my, be my saving grace

Syukur KepadaMu Tuhan

Paduan Suara Vox Angelorum — Syukur KepadaMu Tuhan

Saya merasa sangat tersentuh dengan video klip paduan suara online ini. Selain karena lagunya yang sedari dulu memang saya sukai, saya tersentuh dengan semangat iman saudara-saudara seiman saya yang berusaha untuk tetap memuji nama Tuhan—meskipun tak bisa saling bertemu secara fisik—di tengah pandemi Corona saat ini.

Menyaksikan video ini seperti menyadarkanku kembali bahwa Tuhan selalu ada bersama kita sampai akhir waktu, dan syukur adalah hal terbaik yang dapat kita ungkapkan kepadaNya; sebab sebagaimana telah diingatkan Paus Fransiskus, bahwa krisis yang terjadi saat ini bukanlah hukuman dari Tuhan, bahwa krisis semacam ini pun dapat diubah Tuhan menjadi kebaikan bagi kita umat manusia.

Bersyukurlah untuk semua yang terbaik yang masih diberikanNya secara cuma-cuma bagi kita. 🙂

Salam damai,
