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

2010 is just in 2 days,
and school's starting in less than a week.
swish.
this year has flew past really fast.
8 months of working and having awesome fun with friends,
and then 4 months of slogging my guts out,
it has been a year of changes and also one of growing,
with its occasional joy and heartache.
there's going to be more work and less play from now on,
i hope i can quickly get used to this transition.
although everyone moves on in life, i'm really glad some things never change.
and for one, my God never changes. <3
He has been with me through the sands of time, and i believe He will remain there, always, immovable.
ephesians 2:1-10 - made alive in Christ
"As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
rebirth in Christ; it is only through Him and His grace that we are alive through faith.
and it is a gift from God.
"all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom 3:23) but He can "create in [us] a clean heart" (Psalm 51:10)
