Your Redeemed People

Your resurrection life
Your resurrection hope
Your resurrection power

You raise us up
And give us purpose and hope
You pick us up
From the miry clay

You cleanse us
You restore us
You renew us

We are a people of hope
We are a people of power
We are a people of grace
We are Your redeemed people

Renew us
Revive us
Restore us

A Redeemed People

Your redeeming love
Your redeeming grace
Your redeeming power
We are a redeemed people
A people marked by
The touch of Your hand
Mercy has triumphed over judgment
You have set us free
Free to love
Free to serve
Free to give
We are a redeemed people
Filled with Your Spirit 
Filled with eternal hope
Filled with great joy

Speak to our hearts

We Need You

We need You at every sunrise
We need You at every sunset

We need You on every mountain
We need You in every valley

We need You like the fish need water
We thirst and hunger for You
Pour Your grace on us

Revive our hearts
Restore our passion
Rebuild our broken lives
For we need You more
With each passing day

Unending Mercy

Miracles are a part of the believer’s life. Our very existence is a miracle because our life hinges on the breath that God gives us. We will not live a minute longer without the sovereign Lord’s sustaining and life giving power.

Yesterday, I was so inspired to hear a testimony of a brother over the internet. Our gracious and loving Father set this man free out of His great love for him. For many years, he was addicted to drinking and smoking. At his worst state, he drank up to two bottles of brandy and smoked three packets of cigarettes in a day. He was deep in debt. His friends fled from him in his hour of need. He could not sleep in the dark due to demonic oppression. When he slept, the light would always be on. His life was in complete ruins and he was totally devastated. He could not lift himself out of the gruesome, dark and deep pit that he found himself in. He came to the end of himself.

The Lord had mercy on Him, saved and rescued him. Today, he is totally set free from drinking and smoking and his debts cleared. When he shared his testimony, he admitted that it was painful to revisit some of the most terrifying experiences he went through, but he will testify of the Lord’s goodness however difficult it can be because the love of Jesus has radically changed him. The Lord turned his sorrow, indescribable pain and anguish to unspeakable joy, hope and peace.

Every life that has the Lord touches and changes bears testimony of His unfailing love and unending mercy and grace that flow from His throne.

Merciful Saviour

Pastor Paul Ang’s story was featured on Mediacorp TV yesterday. The merciful Saviour snatched him from the edge of the cliff and transformed him powerfully to who he is today.

In his younger days, his life was plagued with drug addiction and crimes which led him to waste many years behind the bars. His wife divorced him while he was still in prison and up till today he is still trying to get in touch with his only daughter whom he has not seen for twenty years.

While in prison, he was miraculously saved and God in His mercy gave him a second chance. With the support of Helping Hand, a drug rehabilitation centre, he was completely free from drugs. He started an old aged home and went through Bible College.

He subsequently remarried and today Pastor Ang and his wife continue to reach out to the elderly people. Every Lunar New Year eve, Pastor Ang and his wife will have reunion dinner with them. It means a lot to these elderly folks because some of them have been abandoned by their children and families. They pour their love out lavishly on these old and forsaken people.

Pastor Ang’s testimony speaks of the mercy of the Lord. God flows through a willing vessel to touch many others because His heart beats for people; the down and out, the marginalized, the despised, the helpless, the forsaken, the poor and the needy. Our merciful Saviour’s love flows deeply and strongly through broken and contrite vessels.
