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

I think I'm quite an unforgiving person.
Ever so critical of others, and never forgetting the wrongs they did to me.
But today, I read about the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18.
God showed mercy to him, but he did not exhibit the same kind of mercy towards others.
Jesus said, "This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."
And I learn that,
I should really learn to have a forgiving heart,
and really let things go.
No matter how hard I hold on to something,
feeling I must make right that particular injustice,
in the end, nothing will come out of it.
Why waste so much effort and time on an insignificant wrong,
when God should be the one to judge,
duly passing reward or punishment.
Who are we, sinful beings,
who are so sinful ourselves, and in need of God's mercy,
to pass judgment and criticize others,
when we commit the very same sins.
