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

In life, we often sin and go against God's will.
Although our God is loving and forgiving,
we can't expect Him to be always so gracious to our faults,
when we don't admit our wrongs to Him,
or even bother to change ourselves.
At such times, God will step in, to punish us.
We can't expect to go on sinning, without any conviction to repent,
without God's intervention, because He will fight to bring us back to the righteous path.
It's really what's best for us,
even if we face failure in life,
it is so as to remind us that we need God in our lives,
and that we are straying away from Him.
"Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity.
Who knows? He may turn and have pity
and leave behind a blessing-
grain offerings and drink offerings for the Lord your God."
--Joel 2:13-14
Let's not wait until God has to punish us,
before we realize that we aren't doing the right things.
