Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
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 that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king
Child of God

THE BURNING BUSH
Its the kind of season, where everything just feels so dry. A kind of passion that seems to have stopped burning. Suddenly it felt as if serving was pointless. A season of my life where i did not want to serve the Lord. I'm running!!
The story of Moses shed a new light in me. That the colder one is towards then Lord, and when one has lost notion of himself, he stands a greater chance of an encounter with the burning bush. The Lord loves us and knows US by name. Moses was running too, after punching an egyption for bullying his own race, and was accused for murdering him by his own people. Moses fled, and for many years he lived a quiet life. From a somebody in the palace, reduced to tending the sheeps in a little pasture, unknown and perhaps forgotten. For many years it stayed that way.
One often speaks about knowing the call of God for our lives early. However, for some characters in the bible, they never knew about their destiny, only at the point of encounter. Moses never knew he was destined to lead millions out of the bondage in egypt. Paul never knew God would use him to preach the gospel until the very moment itself. We may ask if God has a destiny for all, then what is mine? Its our God predestined purpose that we find meaning in. What's next after study? further study? then after that? Work? and is that all to life? well, seems like. Just as we're about to get comfortable and settle in our little lives, there comes the "burning bush".
