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

i've a 40% exam tomorrow which i spent my whole last week on,
a 25% exam on thursday, and a 40% exam on saturday, both which i have not touched O.o
but i spent 4 hours in church today, while my schoolmates are probably mugging like mad at home.
okay, 4 hours isn't much.
but it means quite alot to me because i've been horribly slow in my studying, and i've a ton of things unstudied so far.
and 1.5 out of the 4 is spent playing captain's ball with my cellies.
perhaps i shouldn't be out having fun, but i thought it was important for me to spend time with them.
if i'm their 'shepherd', surely i need to be there.
i just wished i had more patience and love somedays :/
whenever i'm having a hard choice deciding between school/fun and church,
Matthew 10:39 encourages me alot,
"Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
we often lose sight of our purpose in life, it is to glorify God's name and spread His word,
and not chasing after meaningless and transient 'prizes' in life.
so maybe i'm better off spending some time, having some fun, in church,
then staying home studying.
studying is the second priority of my life, and i need to use what God gave me to glorify his name, i'm going to places where people may not be able to go, so that I can spread His gospel.
and at the end of the day, i know He will see me through.
Lord, let me know well for all the finals this time, i need them to pull my dismal grades up, and i'm going to really work harder next semester onwards. promiseeeee.
