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

to grab my straying thoughts
quickly yank them into place
into a boundary of safety
where the mind is sedate
the traffic light turns warning red
all the cars stop except one which
zooms ahead and almost crashes;
a hit and run for the fully insane
little rascals pulling away
hyperactive, wriggly tots
Trying hard to keep up with
a deadly, flying, runaway train
playing hide and seek with
elusive, slippery notions
wild, unbridled, almost like
the untamed horses of the hills
in the mind's tangled forest
reason escapes my grasp
an enigma looms ahead in
all frustrating perplexity
I wonder what can one do
to rein in those naughty kids
to regain control over the river
stem its flow and trace it back
to the place it once started from
upstream, in the unseen wilderness.
