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

here
She couldn't let go, she told herself
The pain tugged at her fragile heart
Worn and torn from love unrequited
And tricky triangles which confused her.
Why me? she asked, as though
Someone up there owed her an answer
Yet, there was silence, even more piercing
Than before she fell into the dark recess.
But the God of the impossible answered
A voice which rang out loud and clear
Sweeping away the stagnant cobwebs
The agony of fumbling deliberation.
"Call to me and I will answer you," He said
"And tell you great and unsearchable things
You do not know." Indeed, she didn't know
But yet she called, and she will trust.
"My eyes saw your unformed body," He said
"All the days ordained for you were written
In my book before one of them came to be
You are my precious child, my daughter."
"Where can You go from my Spirit?" He asked
"Where can you flee from my presence?
No darkness is ever too dark for me
My light will be your morning star again."
Crushed, burdened, hurt and perplexed
She dreamt of falling into the His warm embrace
Allowing the Father to soothe away her tears
Feeling Him wash away the pain with His love.
"Be still and know that I am God," He whispered
She would find rest at last, free from the struggles
She knew then that the eternal God is her refuge
And underneath are the everlasting arms.
[ Jeremiah 33:3, Psalm 139, Psalm 46:10, Deuteronomy 33:27]
I'm so sorry Sandra dear, it turned out longer than I expected. And, as you know, I am exceptionally verbose so do forgive me.
