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

What is the point of right living? Or how can we even tell if we are living right?
The race does not go to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. Promotions do not necessarily go to the worthy, nor do raises go to those who work the hardest. Millionaires win the Totos and promising youngsters come down with fatal diseases.
We try to do good deeds that benefit people, but our good deeds have unforeseen consequences; time and chance turn our good intentions to evil results.
We try to do wise things that benefit ourselves, but our investments go bad and we lose all our money; inflation and catastrophic illness pick our savings to the bone.
But, I trust in Jesus, and obey His commands. I try to discern and follow the leadings of the Holy Spirit in all things. It is very hard to do, but I have concluded that anything else just makes things worse. I cannot see the ramifications of my deeds, but He can. I cannot tell the outcome of my life, but He can.
