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

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11
one my all-time favourite verse! <3
Our lives are like a series of ups and downs,
and sometimes we question, 'why is this happening to me?',
and we wonder if God is actually watching over us.
But, in actual fact, He is.
He always is, and more importantly, He is in control.
"[Jesus said,] 'In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." -John 16:33
if our God can overcome even the hugest things,
why not our little problems?
He warns us that in our mortal lives we will face trials that may weigh us down,
but at the same time, reassures us that He can similarly overcome them for us.
God is greater, than these events that may seem to oppose his goodness.
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken" - Psalm 34:18-20
What strong reassurance and comfort.
He promises us that we will come out of our trials in perfect piece,
and thus, let's not fear or lose heart,
as long as we keep to His ways, rest assure He will stand by us all the days of our lives.
