Rentak Sejuta's review

This came as a huge surprise for me.

Basically my 2nd album THE DAY AFTER received a recommendation on this local music website. Just say it's like our local "Rolling Stones" which covers the local music scene.

What an exciting news before 2018 comes! Only the Big Guy up there can make all this possible. Yes, I believe 2018 is gonna be awesome

Yup, stay tuned with my social media for the updates especially my music page Tim Lim.


Credit to you both Jonathan Tse Tinn Vai and Darren Teh for making all this a reality.

Best part of the article : even my wife got mentioned. hahaha.

2018 gonna be epic

2017 timlimproject recap


A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on
2017 have been an interesting yet wonderful year, in terms of my music project.

Looking back, I realized this year I actually performed a lot in public platform.

I looked at it as a blessings from God because I had opportunities to meet new friends and share what my life is all about. I actually kinda amazed by their responses and all of these are valuable encouragement to me. In fact, each venue I’ve been have always brought new lessons for me.

I am happy with what I achieve this year. Apart from playing in various venues, i had the opportunity to witness other people singing the song I wrote, having my songs on podcast and laying foundation for more of my songs to be broadcast or stream online.

I am not resting on my laurels yet because there is so much to improve and learn.

But nevertheless, so much to give thanks and so much to look forward.

Can’t wait to share with you that 2018, there’s exciting things coming up. This means i need a lot of your prayers and support. So, please stay connected with my music project social media updates so you don’t miss out.

Huge cheers to you all for a great 2017. Next year will be awesome!

FCC Christmas event


A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on



Well done to all who was involved in "best gift ever" event!

That Christmas song sang by the “dream factory” crew is stuck in my head, especially with the sight of Zermi Ng dancing as well. Anyone felt the same? ‬

Anyway, while it’s fresh and relevant, merry merry Christmas *clap clap clap*

"for you are with us" on spotify

Do you know the song I wrote with Frenniel Batiancila, the song we recently been singing in FCC English services is now recorded and featured in One Accord's worship album?

Oh yes, now you can loop it over and over again on Spotify. Also, you can purchase it online or order their physical album.

Honestly, I've been listening to this album again and again, I love each songs and totally blessed by it. Well done, friends in One Accord, so many names to mentioned though but I am blessed by your heart of worship and partnership.

Of course, there's one song that always have a special place in my heart. Still overwhelmed by the thoughts that the song has become a reality with many people singing to it.

I will probably share someday how we came out with this song but till then, I believe this would be a wonderful Christmas purchase... let them know if you want the physical album or if online download works for you, go ahead and get it!!

advent praise


A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on
Worship teams going acoustic (or some called it unplugged) for this Advent season and honestly, i feel it’s a good challenge for everyone to learn to play and worship in a different setting.
Music aside, I feel this is good to help us to understand what worship is all about - for God.

Personally I loved what we are doing for this season heading towards Christmas and I actually feel it’s another opportunity come true for me to organize such setting for church. Thank You God for His leading.

And thank you worship teams (across all congregations) for being on board for this arrangement.

forgiven seas

I wanna congratulate my friends at OneAccordMinistry for the release of the new worship album — “forgiven seas”

I am listening to it right now and totally blessed by the songs. 

I also had the honour to be involved in a small way, by writing “for you are with us” with my buddy Neil for this album. My heart just overwhelmed when I heard the live recording version. Thank you bro for allowing me to be part of what God is doing in this nation and beyond.

Meanwhile, just let you know the album is now available on Spotify, itunes and also in physical CD. Please buy the album, it’s really worth it!

All that has happened is really a dream come true for me. All glory to God

triple threat

A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on
Past few days have been crazy. 3 shows in a row. Never thought I would have done something like this. 

My buddy Neil (of RELENT) said something that sum up what I am passionate about - paraphrasing him, “we just need to move out of our comfort zone to share the message of love to the world”

So that’s the foundation of what I do and what I am passionate about.
 

I am just grateful for the experiences from these few days and also for the people I met. Huge thanks to everyone for the love and support.
 

Probably will be taking a breather for awhile but do stay tuned to my fb music page for updates.
Like i said yesterday - best is yet to come.

Till the next one, cheers to ya all!

300


A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on
Can you believe it? 300 days have come and gone, with 2018 is coming soon.

Each day have given me an opportunity to be grateful for things around me even though there were some tough days. It’s easy to be thankful when things are good but what is our attitude when things aren’t going the way it supposed to be? 


That being said, I am thankful for all the blessings and opportunities that happened so far in many areas of my life. Believing that the best is yet to come.

This weekend, let’s celebrate life together, starting tonight at #soundstrucklive

 
Yeah, jom!! 😃

ignite


A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on
Last weekend was totally LIT!

Ignite was probably the most craziest yet happening event ever done at FCC. Literally LIT. The heart of it is that it will create a spark in our hearts, igniting our passion in our journey in knowing God.

I believe that happened tonight and I pray that this will set us up to experience something greater for Him.

A huge thanks to all who were involved in making this all possible. I am very proud and thankful for every single one of you. Your energy is just amazing.

Let’s keep this momentum going!!

Ignite Your Passion


A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on
“When you work hard for something you don’t care, it’s stress. When you work hard for something you love, it’s PASSION” - Simon Sinek

Let’s ignite our passion by understanding what it means to love God love men. A lesson that even I am still learning.

Thanks @gracepang16 and @joycelinelee for sharing their reflections and capturing what I shared.

"for you are with us" - ENCM x FCC


A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on
I guess this is what church is all about, what is worship is all about -- declaring how great is our God together!

And also, a taste of how amazing doing co-writing.

This song was written with my best bud Neil (of RELENT). There's a lot of amazing stories tied to this composition and to see this happen is a blessing to me.

I believe the song very much reflects our heart that whatever happens, we can trust in God who is with us through every season.

It's a blessing to see how both churches able to bring out the message of the song, so kudos to ya all!

So honored to know how this song is being impactful. I can't wait to hear and watch their live recording mix of the song as ENCM did a full recording of it recently (thus the footage here).
Meanwhile, may God continue to use this gift I have for His kingdom.

All glory to God!

8th anniversary of THIS ROAD

WOW.


8 years.

8 might be auspicious for Asian context but like I always say, anniversary always gives me the opportunity to look back and be thankful for everything.

I think over the past 8 years, I have said my "thank you"s and sharing thoughts about my journey as singer-songwriter a lot already. The message would be the same though this year, but to be honest I wouldn't be at where I am today without your love, support, advice, pushes, pain, tears and prayers. Like anyone else, I always struggle with a lot of thoughts and sometimes it takes a lot out of me to stay strong. That being said, as long as I have life, I will give my best.

In an ideal world, I would wanna do a party or do something crazy to mark the anniversary. Actually more of thanking you all so much for everything. Maybe someday it will happen, but in the crazy world of uncertainties, everyday I learn to trust God for the best, and He will always provide.


So cheers for 8 years of THIS ROAD and hopefully, THIS ROAD will be a journey that will never end.

awesome God

Recent times, I am often reminded of the beauty of worship songs.

I had this conversation with some folks about songs that touched their hearts. One fella mentioned it was "awesome God" where he heard it few years ago on a Sunday service which so happened I led that song. Apparently, he searched for it and looped it all the time, and that song brought him closer to know God.


To be honest, that song is very simple, in terms of lyrics but yet it's powerful song. It reminds me very much of the power of worship songs -- never doubt how those songs can work among His people especially songs that it's about God.

May this testimony encouraged us worship leaders in choosing our songs and also songwriters as we compose songs.

Worship is all about Him.

backing track


A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on
Backing track was used on Sunday morning.

Even though we have been doing this every now and then, it's always an opportunity for the worship team to learn and explore. It's always a fun and enriching experience for us. Proud of the team for their effort and creativity for God.

songwriting reminder

It feels as though it was God's way of reminding me to keep writing songs that would impact people.

A post shared by MamaWhale (@mamawhaledota) on
Last night, Van Whale send me her Instagram posts about her short cover of my original song "Lost in love/Amazing Grace". Thank you very much for it. Lovely.

Totally encouraged by it to know how my songs have been a blessing. Best is yet to come, I always believe.

all is good

Often, I am asked "how's church/fcc/ministry?" and usually I respond by saying "all is well, all is good".

truth to be told, nothing else to answer than it's good because for me, God is always good. All these belong to Him so all is always good.

at the end of the day, people come and go but God is the constant center of it all.

So yea. All is well, all is good.
