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

Sometimes, you may think life is really unfair.
How some people don't deserve what they have.
Jeremiah thought the same way too, and his complaint can be found in Jeremiah 12.
Sometimes, we may not understand why God allowed certain things to happen,
but we must know that He is a just and righteous God,
that He keeps in mind who did good and who were bad.
But we should be glad He is a merciful God,
because we ourselves, and everyone else, needs His forgiveness.
God tells us,
"If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble in safe country,
how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?" --Jeremiah 12:5
If we can't even handle minor issues like this,
how are we going to face tougher problems in life?
Life is never going to be easy,
and there are bound to be things that discourage you
and make you disillusioned and jaded,
but never give up,
because the Lord is with us.
All these tribulations are there for a reason,
to strengthen us and prepare us for the bigger things that are to come.
"I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." --Philippians 3:14
