HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! oh man i feel so patriotic im gonna yell my lungs out during the parade tonight..

anw i have to repeat myself i love psalm91 (:

Compassion for the lost.

Sudden, before my inward, open vision,

Millions of faces crowded up to view-Sad eyes that said, '

For us is no provision,Give us your Saviour, too."

Sorrowful women's faces, hungry, yearning,

Wild with despair, or dark with sin and dread,

Worn with long weeping for the unreturning,

Hopeless, uncomforted.

"Give us," they cry, "your cup of consolation,

Never to our out-stretched hands is passed;

We long for the Desire of every nation,And, oh, we die so fast.
"Does He not love us, too, this gracious Master?'

Tis from your hand alone we can receive

The bounty of His grace; oh, send it faster

That we may take and live."

"Master," I said, as from a dream awaking,

"Is this the service Thou dost show to me?

Dost Thou to me entrust Thy Bread for breaking

To those who cry for Thee?

"Dear heart of love, canst Thou forgive the blindness

That let thy child sit selfish and at ease

By the full table of Thy lovingkindness,

And take no thought for these?

"As Thou hast loved me, let me love, returning

To those dark souls the grace Thou givest me;

And, of, to me impart Thy deathless yearning,

To draw the lost to Thee."
