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

Revelation 21
1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth were completely gone. There was no longer any sea.
2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem. It was coming down out of heaven from God. It was prepared like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
3 I heard a loud voice from the throne. It said, "Now God makes his home with people. He will live with them. They will be his people. And God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or sadness. There will be no more crying or pain. Things are no longer the way they used to be."
5 He who was sitting on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down. You can trust these words. They are true."
6 He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last. I am the Beginning and the End. Anyone who is thirsty may drink from the spring of the water of life. It doesn't cost anything!
7 Anyone who overcomes will receive all this from me. I will be his God, and he will be my child.
8 "But others will have their place in the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. Those who are afraid and those who do not believe will be there. Murderers and those who pollute themselves will join them. Those who commit sexual sins and those who practice witchcraft will go there. Those who worship statues of gods and all who tell lies will be there too. It is the second death."
This message may strike joy or fear in different people.
When the end of time comes, it shall be an extremely impressionable moment, where we can finally step into the heaven God has prepared for us.
All shall vanish, but the Lord and His Kingdom will remain.
We may be facing tough times on this Earth,
tribulations that constantly try to break us and tear us down,
that make us so weary we barely have time to turn back to our Lord,
but God promises us of a future with no more suffering or sadness,
He will give us eternal life, a new beginning.
All we have to do is believe.
It may also serve as a wake-up call.
How much do you love the people around you? or the world?
Are you going to leave them out of this wonderful salvation which is free?
Are we going to let people lose out because they don't know,
because you weren't willing to spread the gospel,
as you were afraid to, or you thought there were more important things than this or you didn't bother to explain further.
There are so many people that needs saving,
let's all play a part.
Every single person, can change the world.
Let's press on in life,
no matter how life seems to force us to our limits,
because we know there is something greater, ahead of us, for us to look forward to,
and that is the Lord's Kingdom,
where we will finally see God's face and live with him forevermore.
and there we will find rest and everlasting joy.
