The Only Good Inside Your Heart is the Good that Jesus Brings

Good evening folks! Lately, I had the habit of listening to some old christian songs I used to have. Suddenly I came across this song and thought of sharing it here. It's really uplifting.

I think I haven't shared this with you before. I am thinking of signing up medical missionary trip sometime soon. Got this link from sharon, call it escapism perhaps, but I really hope to step out of Singapore to see how God can use me in this field. You might not know, sometimes, it's really hard to reach out when you're a healthcare professionals. A big part of your profession requires you to use drugs judiciously, and find the best treatment for your patients - if the patient wants to be treated. Of course, there will be patients who want to be treated conservatively - ie, DNR (do not resuscitate) when emergency happens.

But when you are a healthcare professional needing to treat your patients with the best therapies you can think of, have you ever thought that you're playing God? At some point of my career (3 weeks only!), I kept asking me if I really am playing God. At some other times when I am really trying very hard, making very vigorous interventions to the doctors to escalate certain therapies, I cannot see God in what I am doing but I can see myself doing what I am doing.But at times, when I really don't know what else can I give to the patient, my heart tells me to commit into our Saviour's hand.

So, being good is just a fable. Even in healthcare.

I have decided,

I'm gonna live like a believer,

Turn my back on the deceiver,

I'm gonna live what I believe.

I have decided,

Being good is just a fable,

I just can't 'cause I'm not able.

I'm gonna leave it to the Lord.

There's a wealth of things that I profess,

I said that I believed,

But deep inside I never changed;

I guess I'd been deceived.

'Cause a voice inside kept telling me,

That I'd change by and by,

But the Spirit made it clear to me,

That kind of life's a lie.

I have decided,

I'm gonna live like a believer,

Turn my back on the deciver,

I'm gonna live what I believe.

I have decided,

Being good is just a fable,

I just can't 'cause I'm not able.

I'm gonna leave it to the Lord.

So forget the game of being good,

And your self-righteous pain.

'Cause the only good inside your heart

Is the good that Jesus brings.

And when the world begins to see you change,

Don't expect them to applaud.

Just keep your eyes on Him and tell yourself,

I've become the work of God.

I have decided,

I'm gonna live like a believer,

Turn my back on the deceiver,

I'm gonna live what I believe.

I have decided,
