Came To The Rescue

Came To The Rescue

Falling on my knees in worship
Giving all i am to seek your face
Lord all i am is yours

My whole life i place in your hands
God of mercy
Humbled i bow down
In your presence, at your throne

I called
You answered
And you came to my rescue
I wanna be where you are

This song has a special meaning to me. Coming to my rescue.. And it started oh so long ago.. But became increasingly evident in this year..

Yups.

Being in JC, in a foreign land, without parent supervision (which isnt exactly a bad thing! :p), has definitely brought about many new experiences for me. It all started with the initial culture shock of living alone.. then came the overwhelming draw of excessive freedom.. next were the homeworks! Tutorials.. lectures.. Yup yup. You get the picture. But I would have to say that my Lord has brought me so far along the way.

But this song really came to me when we sang it in church, and it was a few weeks before our promos. And yes, I was really really anxious about the promos. My whole scholarship depended on it.. And I was in full knowledge that I was very underprepared, thanks to all those piled up tutorials which to date, I have not completed. (oops..) It really touched me that my God, would listen to me call, and then to answer. And this song became even more meaningful, when we sang it once again in church, this time the week before we got our promo results. And truly, my God came to my rescue.. Yup. I was glad to have passed it.. even in subjects that I was so weak in..

But what I really learnt, is that our dependence on Him increases as we face our difficulties. It is in these times that I really felt His presence and assurance. What we really need to do.. is to give all we are to seek His face and to place our whole life at His hands. It is then that we'll need to first call on Him, before He would answer.. and finally.. He would come to our rescue..

Indeed, He has came to my rescue. From my sins, my failures, my mistakes. And from myself..
