Mighty to Save

Everyone needs compassion, a 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

My God 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 failings

Fill my life again

I give my life to follow everything I believe in

Now I surrender

 

Shine your light and let the whole world see

We’re singing for the glory of the risen king

 

Mighty to Save 2006 Ben Fielding, Reuben Morgan / Hillsong Publishing

 

Singing in Church this past Sunday just brought to mind how thankful I am that God saved me when he did. Looking at people similar to me, those who have the same interests, the same tendency to introspection (that’s a euphemism for depression), the same arrogant intellectualism and I see how many of them have turned away from God and are relying on their own strength. Of late I’ve felt what my life would be like without God; gaping hole and purposelessness. Praise to God who saved me not only by his Son on the cross, but also by calling me to Him when I was young.

Woa… agree with you on every point in that paragraph! Yes, introspection and depression very much related! Yes, gaping hole – I know now that without God I will die; no fun being cut off from such a life-giving relationship. Yes, I am grateful everyday for having known Him since childhood and seeing the stabilising effect that has on every part of my life.

Hi! I visited your blog =) I think I can categorically state (always wanted to categorically state something) that there is much about you I don’t know. Fascinating.
