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

It doesn't matter how many blows the enemy has had at me.
It won't knock me over. Well, at least I
refuse to back down.
Through real pain and emptiness
will the arms of perfect love comfort and heal.
Nothing can get me down because I have God.
Lord please tell me why, how and what I should do. I'm trying my best but I don't know if I'm doing it right. It's getting tiring but I know we're moving forward. Whatever it is, I'll trust in You.

It's cold and wet outside, the kind of weather that makes you want to curl up in bed with a book or snuggle under the warm comforter for a nap. It has been pretty much raining continuously ever since yesterday evening. I wonder how it's possible that the sky can hold so much water- this has been the Question of The Day for me. The rain keeps pouring, but somehow, the clouds do not seem to be able to fully unload their aqueous burden.
Despite how inconvenient the rain has made travelling, I love the way it blankets the view outside with falling droplets, blurring the sharp edges, rendering the scene soft and misty. It's nice to see things a little less clearer sometimes. I must admit, I'm in a romantic mood right now (not
in love; more like
poetic), hence this post about the deluge that has taken Singapore by storm (pun intended) for almost 24 hours now.
I can't help but envy the grass and trees which rejoice in this prolonged outpour of heaven's waters, which is the very sustenance of life for these tender greens. They shine with a jubilant vitality that the shower of rain has brought, looking bright and fresh- revived, almost.
Why do I envy them? Well, because I want to be soaked in living waters too. I want to jump into the river of life that flows from heaven's gates, and drink, and drink... That's the way I want to feel- saturated, filled to overflowing. I want to be lovingly watered by the Gardener who makes things grow, so that I'll grow stronger, deeper in love, and bear wonderful fruit for the One who has created me, who gave me life.
I don't want just trickle of water, or even a little stream. I want a flood, a DELUGE- heaven's deluge!
Let it rainLet it rainOpen the floodgates of heaven
