Chris Tomlin - How Great Is Our God

The splendor of the King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice, all the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice, And trembles at His voice

Chorus:
How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see
How great, how great is our God

Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the End, Beginning and the End
The Godhead, Three in One
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb, Lion and the Lamb

Chorus:(2xs)

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing how great is our God

(3xs)Chorus:

Okay... so this song... last night at worship we sang this song... and I realized something... I realized that all my life I have been looking for love from people... and if someone didnt love me... then it was the end of the world... of course if I didn't like them then it really didn't matter... but then last night while singing this song I realized "Why should I be looking for love in people... I have God's love... who am I to think that is not good enough... I should not even have His love yet He loves me"Another thing I realized is how often I use the words "Awesome" "Great" "Good" "Perfect" "love" and all these descriptive words to describe something that is "good"... but the thing is... these words are just as strong as the word "hate". These "good" words should be used for God and God alone...

Create In Me A Clean Heart

CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART

Create in me a clean heart, O God
And renew a right spirit within me
Create in me a clean heart, O God
And renew a right spirit within me

Cast me not away from Thy presence, O Lord
And take not Thy Holy Spirit from me
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation
And renew a right spirit within me


This song means so much to me... some of you may know my past few months or whatever... I won't go into detail. But my spirit was broken and my heart was heavy. I arrived at camp and on the first or second night of being here... we sang this song in worship and I just broke down and cried and prayed until I could cry no longer... then I just prayed... and at the end of it my heart was not so heavy and my spirit not so broken. My friend and I talked about what had happened over the past few months... that lightened and fixed my soul and heart even more... and then the next night same thing happened... and then one night before Wabana kids came I got up in front of half the staff and some complete strangers and told my story. Told most of it anyways... didn't go into detail but went into enough detail for them to see what had happened... and I had people galore praying for me that night and I felt it... my heart was that much more fixed... and my soul too... my life is changed because of this simple song. You can go and listen to it on the internet... who knows... it may change your life too... I hum it now every time I get upset... and then I go talk to my friend
