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

All it took was that humble surrender, on my knees with tears flowing. I never realised that the process of redemptive restoration would only begin
after I surrendered it all to Him in a posture of complete submission, not as a result of struggling to break away on my own strength.
For so long I wrestled with myself, flesh against spirit, spirit against flesh, until it dawned on me that
when I fix my eyes on Him, everything else become shadows in the light of His glory. When I opened my stubborn, tightly clenched fist and released those empty desires to Him, that was when He started to do the deep down work that would set me free. I want to be so taken by His love, that nothing else can distract me from the one pursuit that has become my life.
I don't have to first struggle with it myself before I can say that I have overcomed. I surrender and allow God to help me overcome,
for willpower is nothing compared to the love of God;
only He can satisfy.
