Verse

Bapa Engkau mengenalku (Father, You know me)
Lebih dari siapapun (More than anyone)
Engkau tahu ceritaku (You know my story)
Dan isi hatiku (And my heart)

Tak peduli masa lalu (Regardless of my past)
Engkau tetap memilihku (You still choose me)
Ubahkanku, sempurnakan (Change me, transform me)
Jadi karya yang indah (To be your beautiful masterpiece)

Chorus

Kini aku percaya (Now I believe)

Tiada yang mustahil bagi-Mu (Nothing is impossible for You)

Kuasa-Mu, kuatkanku (Your power makes me strong)

Dasar kuberharap (The foundation of my hope)

Kini aku berserah (Now I surrender)

Pada rancangan-Mu bagiku (In Your plans for me)

Kuikuti panggilan-Mu (I follow Your calling)

‘Kukan setia (I will be faithful)

Sampai akhir hidupku (Until the end of my life)

Most people are really good at identifying weaknesses and shortcomings. It becomes easy for them to conclude that someone, or even themselves, don’t have what it takes to achieve their dreams or to accomplish certain things because of their limitations.

But what if there is someone in our life who truly knows who we are, all of our strengths and weaknesses, our potentials, and every single thing that will happen in our future?

It would be wonderful to have that “amazing” person who can help us and give us the right advice so we know how to live well.

The good news is, that someone is real, and His name is Jesus. He is God, our Creator, a Wonderful Counselor, and His Holy Spirit lives inside us. “Sampai Akhir Hidupku” tells the story of our Father God who knows everything about us.

By reading Psalms 139:1-24, we can clearly see that our Heavenly Father truly knows us more than anyone. He knows our story, our past, and even our deepest secrets, which no one knows but Him.

In spite of everything we’ve done, the mistakes we’ve made and all of our imperfections, God still chooses us. It has been written in John 15:16 (NIV), "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you.” But having known everything about us, why would God still choose us?

If God still chooses us, it shows that He knows something that we don’t know. He can see something that we can’t see. The only thing that we have to do is to trust His plan all the way because He is a good God and He sees the bigger picture.

When we really trust in His plan for us, and understand how well He knows us, there is nothing better than following His will and truth in every step of our life. Stop focusing on our weaknesses, but turn our eyes upon God who is greater than our weaknesses. Until the end of our life, we will experience and see His faithfulness that has always been there for us, from beginning until the end.
