1) Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations
Chorus:
Savior 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
2) So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
And fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender I surrender
Chorus:
Savior 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 (x2)
Bridge:
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus (x2)

Today was awesome. Lot of things I've got to thank God about. Firstly, I woke up feeling better. Still a little cough and sneezing, but not like the past two days. Secondly, today's worship service was really a blessing to me.
Glad that I didn't have to take any medications for the Flu...I made up my mind to trust God for my healing, and Praise God!!..He never fails...My God is Mighty to save!!! I thought of how I would sing with the rest of the worship team today...felt I would sound very awful, but God intervened and rather than sound very awful, I was very Joyful. One of the songs on today's worship list ministered specially to me. It reminded me of how quick God is to respond to the needs of those who trust in Him unwaveringly. It is a song by Hillsong Australia - Mighty to Save. I decided to put the lyrics before what I have to say today....
The Message shared by our Senior Pastor (Pst. Chan Nam Chen) was Unique on its own. Like the words of a father, the word was kind but firm; piercing through hearts, liberating souls, challenging minds and reforming lives. FAITH, SHORT-CUTS & GOD'S GRACE he tagged it, taking Abraham as Case study (Gen 16:1-16; Gen 21:8-13).
Things I got to learn about Short-cuts:
* Short-cuts are often socially acceptable practices.
* They are often proposed to us by people who love us and mean well for us. e.g Sarai suggested to Abram to take her maid to bed, so they could bear the child that God had promised them they would.
* Short-cut works.
Some short-cuts are harmless, but some manifest negative effects in the long run.Some of these negative effects include:
* It compromises your integrity & destroys your character.
* It can cause more pain to the people we love in the long run.
* It can be disobedience to God.
The easiest way to have something done is usually not always the right way. He that learns it the hard way most of the times learns it better. Short-cuts should be avoided; there are usually consequences after taking a short-cut. We've got to obey God, even if it doesn't seem to be the best thing to do at the moment. Obey God, and trust Him to handle any consequences that seem to come your way as a result of obeying Him.
That the world says it is acceptable, doesn't make it right. God's will is what matters most.
Lord I thank You for the power in your word. I pray Lord, for the grace to stick to what You love most, and not what the world loves!!!
