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

Love one another.
I find it hard, to love someone unselfishly and genuinely, all the time.
My innate competitive nature makes me yearn to beat others, even friends,
and sometimes I may not have been entirely honest to them,
like not sincerely wanting them to do well.
I pray Lord, that you forgive me for me dishonesty and selfishness,
and that you can give me the love and generosity to want others to do well too.
For they are my brothers and sisters in Christ,
I should want the best for them, like my own earthly family,
and earthly achievements mean nothing, when we go to Heaven.
Many times, I am arrogant too.
I may say something outwardly, but perhaps mean something different inside.
But Lord, you have taught me that I have nothing to boast about, except you,
because all I have, is what you have given to me, and not achieved from my strength alone.
Lord, I pray, that you forgive my hypocrisy, and arrogance,
and that you can constantly remind me because you have given love to me,
I should love others with a pure heart, too.
Let me learn to acknowledge that you have given everyone of us, a special gift,
while I may do well in a certain area, others are much better than me in other areas.
Lord, I pray that you give me an earnest heart,
to always seek to improve myself,
that I won't magnify what I'm good at, but learn to humble myself before you and others.
1 John 3:15-18
15 Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
18 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
Love others, just like how God has loved us.
