This Is Our God

Today was the first time in three weeks that I had the joy and pleasure of being at my church home. It's amazing how much I miss our church family and Sunday School classmates when we are away. And for me, missing three weeks worth is my max. For three weeks in a row I've been out of town... first Lexington, KY for the wedding, then Kansas City, KS for the surprise 30th, and last week in San Diego, CA for work. And by this morning, I was in dire need of worship with my church family.

One song in service spoke to me in particular today... bringing tears to my eyes and whispered God's truth to my heart. Maybe it'll do the same for one of you (listen to the song embedded if you've never heard it!). I bolded some of the lyrics that really hit me.

This Is Our God

Artist: Chris Tomlin

A refuge for the poor, a shelter from the storm

This is our God

He will wipe away your tears and return your

wasted years

This is our God

So call upon His Name

He is mighty to save

This is our God

A father to the orphan, a healer to the broken

This is our God

And he brings peace to our madness and comfort

in our sadness

This is our God

So call upon His Name

He is mighty to save

This is our God

This is the one we have waited for

Jesus Lord and Savior

This is our God

A fountain for the thirsty, a lover for the lonely

This is our God

He brings glory to the humble and crowns for the

faithful

This is our God
