Mighty is the Power of the Cross
What can take a dying manand raise him up to life again?
What can heal a wounded soul?
What can make us as white as snow?
What can fill the emptiness?
What can mend our brokeness?
Mighty, awesome, wonderful
is the Holy cross
Where the lamb laid down his life
To lift us from the fall
Mighty is the power of the cross
What restores our faith in God?
What reveals the Father's love?
What can lead a wayward home?
What can melt a heart of stone?
What can free the guilty ones?
What can save and overcome?
It's a miracle to me, It's still a mystery
It's a miracle to me, The power of God
for those who believe

Do you hear my shout?
My hands reached out for you
Save me you ought
My tears were true
You are still near not
My comfort, my comfort will be you
please do not hide
My peace, my peace will be you
please be at my side
I know not the way
Only your hands lead
I am starting to sway
Only guide my feet
Lights grow dim
The oil is running out
Chances are slim
Do you hear my shout?
Save me you ought
My tears were true
You are still near not
My comfort, my comfort will be you
please do not hide
My peace, my peace will be you
please be at my side
I know not the way
Only your hands lead
I am starting to sway
Only guide my feet
Lights grow dim
The oil is running out
Chances are slim
Do you hear my shout?
The Cloud is still thick
The cloud is still damn thick
I see no stars
Gloomy days making me sick
Bearing the scars
Chirping Tweeting I hear
Almost through the night
Lying awake with fear
Tomorrow is within sight
My heart pounds
Like hammer sounds
Calling and pleading the Divine
He said, all will be fine!
Oh my soul all will be fine!
After the clouds, you'll see sunshine
With all your heart, Wait!
He keeps what He said
I see no stars
Gloomy days making me sick
Bearing the scars
Chirping Tweeting I hear
Almost through the night
Lying awake with fear
Tomorrow is within sight
My heart pounds
Like hammer sounds
Calling and pleading the Divine
He said, all will be fine!
Oh my soul all will be fine!
After the clouds, you'll see sunshine
With all your heart, Wait!
He keeps what He said

Fail without Jesus
Today by the grace of God I was taught a few things. The lesson came from Jesus' disciples experience after the resurrection of Jesus (John 21:1-14). The passage tells us that the disciples went out fishing and they failed. Jesus asked them whether they had caught anything. Jesus' knowledge of the future enables him to know that the disciples would fail but He let it be. The failure was necessary to them to finally obey the instruction of a stranger (for they did not know it was Jesus). If Jesus would tell them where to throw the net before fishing, they might not listen to him because they are experienced fishermen. When they decided to take on board the suggestion, they finally harvested the fruits of the sea and recognized Jesus.
This event teaches us to be patient and take heart when we face failures. He knows it and He does not leave us alone. Instead, he is letting us know to only rely on Him and obey His voice then we will be successful. We, in our pride usually go ahead relying on our own ability and past experiences but this passage teaches us that we fail without Jesus eventhough we are experts.
It is actually easier for us to rely on Him because We just need to surrender our problems to Him knowing that He cares about us and are in control of all things instead of fighting and finding the solution on our own. However, the very fact of trusting in Him is also of our own choice and His grace. Hence, we do struggle in this. There are times we are burdened with excessive worries and fears to look beyond our failures even the future. Obeying His commands is also never easy because we are rebellious by nature. By God's grace and His mighty power, He will change these helpless and rebellious kids, He has unlimited patience (that's how Paul puts it), and above all continuously lavishing His grace and unconditional love that has ransomed us from fear (Bishop Les Mis.). O How I hunger for more of Him. Knowing Him will make you alive and desire it for more.
