Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
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 I believe in
Now I surrender
Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing, for the glory
Of the risen King
Jesus, Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
Of the risen king

I just wonder why I can't seem to connect the word "Christian" or "God-loving" with the name of my CCA teacher. She just took over us last year and like a hurricane, swept through our CCA, transforming us from a slack, souless club into a super-organised (okay lah, not all that organised, but we're getting whipped into shape), high-quality school newsletter press. I must admit that she is a very capable and efficient person, but she can get a little overbearing at times. It doesn't help that my CCA members are quiet, passive little souls; so she thinks someone has to take charge if not we'll all waste away. She has done a really good job of making us more efficient as a club with meticulously type meeting minutes (we never even took minutes in the past), meeting agendas, protocols, a Tribune file for everyone and so on. Looking at us now, indeed we seem to be actually doing work (*hyperventilate*) and that's a good thing. BUT the thing that bothers me is that I can't really identify her as a Christian. Especially after hearing some of the things she scolded the sec 2s at the senior's farewell, and going through one of that scoldings myself. This shall remain a mystery until the end of time. My dear friend (and my teacher's as well) SY can miraculously survive with my teacher being her close friend! I really don't know how she does it, although she does occassionally complain about the pains of that friendship. SY, if you're reading this, just know that you're a really noble soul, being a Barnabas to our teacher. That, for me is a feat beyond human endurance.
