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

Very often, we are put down by the setbacks we face in our life.
Hopes diminished, we feel that there's really no way out of this sorrow.
It's hard to see the future from where we are standing,
and we don't know where to go from here.
But the Bible comforts us in 2 Corinthians 4:16-18,
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
Earthly sorrows may pull us down for a period of time,
but we will have everlasting joy once we enter the gates of Heaven.
By the time, what we have underwent, is no longer important,
and we will acknowledge that they have been there as stepping stones to our maturity.
When we start thinking of the pain we have to go through,
let's focus our eyes on God, and the Heaven He has prepared for us,
a place we can dwell in happiness, forever.
