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

The world we live in is a superficial one.
We judge others by their appearances, and form first impressions from them.
I believe none of us can honestly deny the fact that we are often biased towards better-looking people, and are more keen to make friends with them.
Although we know inside that it is horribly unfair, it is simply human nature that we constantly form opinions about others based on their looks.
But God tells us, "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at his heart." (1 Samuel 16:7)
How, can we cultivate such a pure heart?
It is not easy, especially when I constantly nitpick on the flaws of others every day of my life,
but maybe we should give others a chance,
look at them beyond the surface,
and maybe, we may discover something more beautiful that what we may think possible.
It's more about the lives we lead, than the appearances we portray.
