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

One of the things I lack, is friendliness.
To others who may not know me,
I either portray an aloof or introverted image.
I would think I'm rather shy at times,
but there are also occasions of elitism, though I'll hate to admit it.
Casting Crowns -
If We Are The BodyIt's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girls teasing laughter is
carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know
But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way
A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road
Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ
Jesus is the way
This song is very true.
Even for myself, I hope for a church where I could be close to my churchmates, more than anyone else in the world, and we could really trust and love one another.
Maybe I'm not playing my part,
I'm barely talking to anyone else in my church besides 2 girls.
It's really awful, and I hate it.
I'll pray Lord, that you can give me courage and charisma to be able to converse with others, especially strangers.
"Love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt." --Deuteronomy 10:19
We all need some love in our lives,
and while we surely want others to be amicable with us,
we too have to try our best to make friends.
Surely we'll be able to draw others more,
by showing others the warmth of Christians, that we truly care.
