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

Word for life was just over! Honestly, I have to say this workshop is indeed very good, and I would say they cover 4 bible characters, moses, daniel, rahab and paul. Out of this 4, I think that Daniel really spoke to me a lot. In one of the points, Daniel chose to held fast to his faith in god through times of difficulty, in daniel 6:3-5, daniel was deemed as a righteous man and the King trusted him a lot to even wanted to pass the kingdom to him, however, the officials in the country were jealous of him but however, find no fault in him, thus they decided to make a rule in the country that everybody are to not worship any god but only to the king. In daniel 6:10, he chose to continue to worship god despite of the decree set and barriers that he is facing. However, god really saved him when he was thrown into the lion den, in daniel 18-24, the angel of god saved him from the mouths of the lions, and he also gained much favour from his king, from daniel 13-17, because he is a person who is god-centric, and eventually the king ordered daniel's enemeis to be thrown into the lion dens with their families and made christianity the default religion in the country. Therefore, even the king of daniel came to know god despite he is a non believer before that because of daniel's persevrence of faith in god and his righteousness. Therefore, this set me to reflect about myself, am I really showing the people god's real character in it or showing my human's behaviour in it? Am I showing emotions such as been frustrated easily, cursing people etc. And another thing is that do I give up on god easily when I knew myself that god himself has not done with me yet, because of one small obstacles and god choose not to answer your prayer, do you really say god you are not answering me and you have forsaken me. Therefore, this lesson really sets me to deepen my faith on god, something which I have been working for the past few weeks.
