Great is Your love
Let the whole earth sing
Let the whole earth sing
You reached for us
From on heaven's throne
When we had no hope

You are the way
There is no other
You are the way
There is no other

You rose from death to victory
You reign in life
Oh majesty
Your name be high and lifted up
Jesus, Jesus alive in us

You outshine the sun
You are glorious
You are glorious
Lord over all
You have made us new
We owe it all to You

In everything
Be exalted

Please Pray for God to meet and save me and my family.
Pray for peace with the Lord and harmony in Him.
Pray that evil spirits do not disturb our family.

I'm korean.
I believe in the Lord who listens to our prayers.

And they said,
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house.
Acts 16 : 31
