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

there are days i wonder what am i doing here.
there are days i wonder whether i'm doing right or enough.
but there's no way to really know, is there?
maybe i should ask myself whether i'm doing my best for my God.
i think we're often swept off our feet by things that happen in our life,
that come unexpected, without warning.
but i think no matter what, He watches over me, over us.
if there are things in our life we're feeling despondent about right now;
think about it, if He can do the impossible (like walking on water),
why can't he perform the 'impossibles' in our life.
maybe it's not about doing what we want, but what He has in mind for us.
maybe we should really take a step back, and watch his plan unfold.
maybe then, we will really understand.

与你有约, 是永恒的约,
彩虹为证, 千古不变
when God promises us something, it is for all eternity, and it will never change.
when all else around you seems to fall apart, just know that God is forever faithful.
"Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible...I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings." - 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
i think i'm a chameleon some days.
many a times, i behave and speak differently in school and in church, or other places.
i put aside all forms of intellectual talk or stature in order to be close to my church mates, it is a place i don't have to put up all sorts of pretenses to please others.
yeah, i agree that we have to be different people to win the world's non-believers, because regardless of our worldly status, aren't we all essentially the same? and our purpose in life is to bring salvation to the world.
indeed, we have to be flexible in order to reach out to as many people as possible with the gospel of Christ.

today, my heart dropped.
i have no idea why.

Lord, do you see me?
do you hear my cry, do you feel my pain?
are you by my side?
i know your hands hold the universe,
but is there space for me?
am i on the right path?
why am i falling, why am i failing?
you say, the time will come where you will wipe every tear from our eyes, and there will be no more crying or pain,
you say, it is better to lay up treasures in heaven than on earth,
you say, you will bring me through.
but Lord, there is a deep ache in my heart, my tears cannot stop falling.
how can i live and not be
good at what i do?
but i ask myself, do i want to be good for myself, or is it for You?
is the standard of
good judged according to the world, or by You?
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." -Proverbs 3:5-6

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
- Deuteronomy 31:6
He is no fool who gives that which he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.

i'm dead.
how do i move on?
-1:54 AM
my heart is feeling blue today,
the bluest of blues.
i can't move on, i want to sleep all day, and forget the world exists.
i think i never felt so upset about my results before.
i have never seen a B in my 12 years of studies before,
and now in university Bs colour my life. my heart breaks.
and now that i'm awake, life is a blur, almost in slow-motion,
i don't know what i'm doing, what's happening.
(and i don't have the courage to look at my results)
God, be with me.
give me strength.
i don't know what's ahead. but i need you by my side.
i know i haven't been good, but please bless and watch over me.
mend the cracks in my heart.
Psalm 116:
I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.Because he turned his ear to me,I will call on him as long as I live.The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.Then I called on the name of the Lord:"O Lord, save me!"The Lord is gracious and righteous;our God is full of compassion.The Lord protects the simplehearted;when i was in great need, he saved me.Be at rest once more, O my soul,for the Lord has been good to you.For you, O Lord, have delivered my soul from death,my eyes from tears,my feet from stumbling,that I may walk before the Lordin the land of the living.I believed; therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted."And in my dismay I said,"All men are liars."How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me?I will lift up the cup of salvationand call on the name of the Lord.I will fulfill my vows to the Lordin the presence of all his people.Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.O Lord, truly I am your servant;I am your servant, the son of your maidservant;you have freed me from my chains.I will sacrifice a thank offering to youand call on the name of the Lord.I will fulfill my vows to the Lordin the presence of all his people,in the courts of the house of the Lord - in your midst, O Jerusalem.Praise the Lord.Lord, save me.
I have nothing left, no one else, but you.
Walking,stumbling on these shadowfeettoward home,a land that i've never seenI am changing: less and less asleepmade of different stuff than when i beganand i have sensed it all alongfast approaching is the daywhen the world has fallen out from under meI'll be found in you, still standingwhen the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their kneeswhen time and space are throughI'll be found in you
