We were given the task of writing a 3 minute presentation to summarise our year as a Relay Worker for UCCF: The Christian Unions. My song was a bit longer than 3 minutes, so I didn't perform it as a song, but thought I'd record it to give you a chance to hear it in its original form. Honestly, this year wasn't all smiles and laughs, it was a really difficult year for me, but also incredibly rewarding. I have learnt so much about who I am, who God is, and what a beautiful thing it is to be brought into his family, which we can demonstrate in our churches as we serve one another, focussing not on the good things we're doing, but on the giver of good gifts who allows us to love one another regardless of our imperfections, just as he did when he died on the cross while we were still sinners. Hope you enjoy the song. =)

Late last August we arrived here at Quinta hall,
Slightly confused and unsure of what we're here for.
We learnt that it's all about grace,
God's undeserved goodness to his chosen race,
And we met all our students,
The start of this Relay race.

Moving down to Southampton was pretty tough
Knowing no-one at all but certain that I'd cope - making friends couldn't be that hard.
Well I've learned that friendships take time,
But even these, our God will provide,
The church and the CU have been there through my trials.

Southampton CU is 400 people strong,
It's easy to feel that you're work doesn't matter at all.
But in Gods mercy, he gave me much to do,
The harvest is plenty, and still, the workers are few.

Every week I supported an icafe,
I saw the team grow as they learnt to share their faith,
From every nation these students came,
China, France, Syria, and Spain, 
We welcomed them in and showed them a God who cares.

This year has challenged everything I've known,
I've learned that I can't do life on my own,
God made me that I'd depend on him,
But daily I turn away, and the guilt sets in.

Then I look to the cross and I see what he did for me,
Broken and bleeding, nailed to that tree.
"Father, forgive them," was what they heard.
"It is finished", his final words,
Now I put guilt behind me - his cross has set me free.

Jesus, he paid it all 
So that I can call the creator "father"... "Daddy!"
In my weakest moments he's given me strength 
When I'm close to giving up, he's been there calling me "daughter, you are loved."

So as we go our separate ways, my prayer for you,
Is that Jesus would be more beautiful than what you do,
God's given us gifts so generously,
So we can serve our family,
Let's not forget all he's taught us this year.
Warm our hearts by the gospel and give all glory to him.
