Happy Birthday to my best friend and husband

Dear Phillip Koo:

 Thank you for being humble and living Eph5 out as a husband and father. Do you know what this means? This means when we stand at the throne of God, you will be able to present me, your wife, as blameless, holy, and pure, because of the ways you have led me. He will call you, "My good, and faithful servant."

 You are always open to the Lord's correction and I have learned to follow your footprints as you follow God's. I am excited to spend every single day with you, learning how to be like Christ, learning how to grow from our mistakes, and learning how to stand tall for believing in our risen Savior. Because of your example, I know what John meant when he said we love God because He first loved us.

 Your example makes my heart desire so much more to become the godly woman and mother God calls me to be. Lord, help me to become more pleasing to You and my husband each day.

 Thank You Lord for perfecting our faith and our love. You have chosen a man for me who is beyond everything and everyone I have ever met or read about.

 May the Lord bless you with many more years of service unto Him, faithful family, and wisdom which will open your eyes to unimaginable treasures and mysteries in His word.

 Lovingly, Your best friend and wife

Here's a song just for you:

Ninja Daddy Lyrics - Aug23 2013 

We’re so glad you’re not a ninja
We would never be able to see ya
No way we could grab a hug
Too busy to snuggle with us
Super daddy is a myth
You’d really be too high to kiss
We’d miss your prickly face so much
Yes we love how you tickle us
Please don’t be my ninja daddy
No no not my super daddy
Thank God you’re my ordinary daddy
Who walks with Jesus daily
Happy Birthday
To our hero
Happy Birthday
Have a super birthday
Happy Birthday
Our ordinary daddy
Happy Birthday
Our ordinary super ninja hero bestest daddy

Prayer retreat song

I am in a bunk bed at a retreat right now. While I spent my time with the Lord, I wrote a song about His peace over my anxieties.

My child My child I know

while I am young I wanna know
 My God is faithful and true
that I can give Him my all
while I am young I wanna know

 when I'm old I wanna know
my house was built on the Rock
with the Spirit I walked the walk
when I'm old I wanna know

 Before I die I wanna know
what I left was built on solid ground
all was well and not in vain
before I die I wanna know

My child my child I know
you are not perfect but perfect am I
you are in Me and I in you
my child my child I know
nothing under the sun can snatch you away
rest in Me have peace in Me
my child my child I know

new fav


Would love to write songs like this. Songs that expresses so much emotions. Songs that just pours out what I feel in my heart. Awesome song. I love how the bridge and chorus can intertwine with repetition. Beautifully written. Simple but deep. That's the stuff.


"Love like fire"
I'm desperate for Your touch
A glimpse of heaven for the glory of Your Son.
In a moment You can turn a life around
Forever to be found in You.

I am reaching out to find
There's nothing greater than Your love that holds my life.
Your grace and mercy that have saved me by Your blood,
And swept away my shame, oh Lord.

I'm surrendered to Your love
Forever humbled by the message of the cross.
I stand abandoned in Your presence and Your embrace,
And I'll never be the same, oh God.

Your love is like fire that burns for all to see.
My only desire to worship at Your feet.

So let this fire consume my life.
Let Your love take me deeper
Draw me closer to where You are,
Cause all I want is more of You.
When You call I will follow.
At the cross I surrender all,
Jesus I belong to You.

2013 Anniversary song to my baby

8th year anniversary song for my husband. I wrote this in humor. Try to imagine this sappy song sung in the middle of a musical. :P

Oh Lord, thank You for this song. I know Phill will love it no matter how bad the recording sounds. :) Thank You for Your gift of marriage. You are a wonderful God and we praise You with everything we are. AMEN.

There is no one like you, babe (second draft) | Muziboo
There is nothing I can say
No new words
To tell how I feel
There is no one like you
There is no one like you, babe

There is nothing I can write
No new rhymes
To show how I know
There is no one like you
There is no one like you, babe

You are more than just amazing
More than just willing
More than just faithful
What's that word?
I don't know
There is no one like you

I can use some statements
to describe him
To display my love
There is no one like you
There is no one like you, babe

"You are my hero"
"Your body is so ripped"
"You are my desire"
"You're more than I dream of"
"There is no one like you, babe"


You are more than just amazing
More than just willing
More than just faithful
What's that word?
I don't know
There is no one like you

Gospel ABC - 2011

This was written in Jan 2011... Setting: a VBS type venue... Rock blues progression. My kids love this song. This song was a God song. The melody and words just came to me. I wrote and recorded this song in one night for a mock VBS project for a children's ministry class. This CD went to over 15 children ministers in that class. LORD I thank You and praise You for the saving gospel of Christ. You are an amazing musician. ;-)

ABC final product | Muziboo

Admit I have done wrong and fallen short
Believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God
Confess Im gonna sing, and shout, and tell
him her you and you and you and you

that Jesus is the One, the Christ, the Lord
the Light, the Truth, the Messiah,
He is the Son of God, the Savior, and King
the River of life, the One lifted high
I won’t be afraid to confess with my mouth
that Jesus is the One, the Christ, the Lord

Heal This Land Aug 2010

This was the first Christian contemporary song I wrote. I recently found out there are many "heal our land" or "heal this land" Christian songs around. I remember feeling distraught about our country and the direction our leaders were taking us. I was also studying the book of Isaiah at that point and his prayers of confession and agony really resonated with my heart. That's how the idea of this song was born.

Looking at the song now, I think this song is definitely still cooking in the green house. With that I mean some of the lyrics can be better, and I need to simplify the chord progression. The central idea is not very central... I need to refocus the song.

LORD Jesus, Thank you for this song. Please help me to refocus this song. Let the melody ring out and be pleasing to You. AMEN.

Take Root - 2011

HA! I forgot about this song. But I have a recording! I recorded this maybe June 2011? I wanted to take a jab at a faster song and I was at that point in my spiritual life fixated on rooting myself and my family in the Word of God. Revelation 22:16 says Jesus is the Root. Proverbs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Matthew,...  the word "Root" fills 3 pages in this search! Anyway, here's the recording.

This song is ok. I am the words aren't that great. like the word "declared"... doesn't fit musically... the melody needs tweaking too. This song definitely needs to be stay in the green house.

LORD Jesus thank You for continuing to teach me about Yourself.


Take Root - jo koo | Muziboo

- v1,2 & bridge not in recording
You declared
You’re the vine
You’re Emmanuel
Turned water into wine
You proclaimed
You’re the One
The Messiah
and Your Father’s only Son
You have the power
to change me inside out
You are the answer
I know, Prince of Peace
Let me
take root root root
in Your word
in Your Kingdom
in the solid ground
hang on on on
onto You
to Your promises
Your righteousness
I declare
You’re the vine
You’re Emmanuel
Turned water into wine
I believe
You’re the One
The Messiah
and my God’s only Son
Hide me from the breath of every wind
let my roots stretch deep
Renew my Spirit with Your breath of life
My heart is fixed, O God
I will sing and give praise from within
