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

Do you find yourself very susceptible to the temptations around you?
You're definitely not alone in that,
because it is so often that we give in to our desires, even when knowing that it is wrong.
While self-discipline is very important in our daily lives,
it is equally important in our Christian life.
"Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls." --Proverbs 25:28
We must learn to strengthen our 'walls', in order to live a holy life.
"Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it." --Titus 1:7-9
To do God's work, we must have the same rigid self-discipline that causes us to stick firmly to the cause we are fighting for and believe in.
We cannot let our humanly faults hinder us from telling others about the message of God,
so let's makes our lives living testimonies of our wondrous God above.
