MIGHTY TO SAVE

If you have a chance, go to the CSC (Children Shelter of Cebu) website. Click on News Headlines, then Praise Night at CSC... You will see a band where kids and one adult are leading. Roselyn will be in the middle of the screen with white (long) shorts and a short sleeved shirt. She is on the same stage as the drummer. Romeo is the cool dude right behind her playing the bass guitar. He has a long sleeved t-shirt with a blue one on top. The camera pans back and forth so you get a few chances to see them. (It's a little hard to see because it is so dark.)

The cool thing to me is that they are singing MIGHTY TO SAVE. I looked at this video last week. Last Sunday, we sang this same song in church. Of course, it hit a chord with me. Then on Tuesday night, we sang it again at a church in Minneapolis where I was attending a concert. The theme of the concert was focused on global social injustice. Very fitting I think. I was so touched to think that we get to sing the same song and think about the same lyrics as our kids. I might be a little sappy, but in my heart this song will always have special meaning to me. Call it coincidence if you want, but I feel like maybe God was trying to tell me something. He is compassionate, merciful, forgiving and yes... MIGHTY TO SAVE. Here are some of the lyrics. Check out the video.

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.

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.

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...
