Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Before Jesus died on the cross, he said,
"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." (Luke 23:34)
Every day of my life, I look up to my Father above, with admiration and awe.
His compassion and forgiving heart is really beyond what man can ever comprehend.
Why would He even die for us, coming down to Earth to suffer for us, so as to rid us of our sins?
when so many of us aren't even grateful, choosing to go our own way and continue living a sinful life.
I think one of my greatest faults, is being unable to put things down, forgive and forget.
My strong sense of injustice, coupled with bitterness, causes me to be very critical to the faults of others.
I know this isn't right, but I still find it hard to just let go of things at times.
I pray that I can change, but I should really try, on my part.
Maybe harboring resentment all the time won't solve the problem,
maybe I should just take a step back
and things may look different after all.
Fairness? Let God do the rest.
When the end comes, those who do good will be rewarded accordingly.
I'm not going to do good just because of the reward,
but I'm going to lead a Holy life,
because I love my Lord, and I want to be a good reflection of Him,
and why focus on the unimportant, when there are greater things mapped out for me,
and if we don't do good now, then when?
