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

the new year awaits,
and i face the new term with a sense of trepidation.
i've had my share of failures and disappointment,
am i going make it this time round?
(i've so much to do, always.
but i'm such an awful procrastinator. ugh.
why are there so many distractions around.)
when Solomon assumed the throne from his father David,
David told Solomon, "And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever" (1 Chron 28:9)
and "be strong and courageous , and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the Lord is finished." (1 Chron 28:20)
God knows our heart and mind,
regardless of whether we have fooled the world or even if no one knows.
when we face similar tough transitions in life,
which are marked by much uncertainty and insecurity, and the future appears misty and unclear,
let's remain strong and courageous,
because we are definitely not alone.
Let's keep our eyes on God, He will navigate us safely through even the craziest rapids,
and then await the smooth waters, they're just ahead. (:
