Hi everybody. Introducing myself, my name is Teofilus Sinaga and I come from Indonesia, precisely in the city of Medan. Today, the weekly #openmic has entered its 134th week with the theme Perdon, in English it means Forgiveness. This theme was chosen by 
When we have wronged someone, we try to ask for forgiveness from that person so that our relationship with him can be restored. Forgiveness is not given because someone deserves to be forgiven. No one deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is an act of love, mercy, and grace from the person who has been hurt. Forgiveness is a decision not to hold a grudge against the person who wronged you. In the scriptures, everyone needs forgiveness from God, because all humans must have sinned. We must be grateful that God is merciful and loving so that God will forgive our sins if we repent and surrender to Him.
So on this week's theme, I performed a spiritual song entitled “Sampai Akhir Hidupku” in English Until the End of My Life by JPCC. This song was released in 2017 on the album Made Alive and was awarded the AMI Award for the best spiritual song lyrics that year. Many of my church youth friends sang this song when we were together. Below are the lyrics of the song.
Bapa, Engkau mengenalku
Lebih dari siapapun
Engkau tahu, ceritaku
Dan isi hatiku
Tak peduli masa lalu
Engkau tetap memilihku
Ubahkanku, sempurnakan
Jadi karya yang indah
Kini aku percaya
Tiada yang mustahil bagi-Mu
Kuasa-Mu, kuatkanku
Dasar kuberharap
Kini aku berserah
Pada rancangan-Mu bagiku
Ku ikuti panggilan-Mu
'Ku akan setia
Sampai akhir hidupku
Aku kan setia
Pada panggilan-Mu, Yesus
Aku akan setia
Pada panggilan-Mu
Father, you know me
More than anybody
You know my story
And my heart
Don't care about the past
You still choose me
Change me, perfect
So beautiful work
Now I believe
Nothing is impossible for you
Your power, strengthen me
I hope
Now I surrender
In Your plans for me
I follow your call
'I will be loyal
Until the end of my life
I'm loyal
At Your call, Jesus
I will be loyal
At your call
Thank you for listening to the songs I play, I hope you all enjoy the voice I sing. Greetings all. May we all be able to give love to all beings in the universe. Stay healthy, keep your spirit, and greetings from me. Below is the original version of the song I performed today.
