Songs of Faith: The Greatness of our God

I have a collection of songs that I listen to before, during and after my prayer time as well as during my planning time at school and other places as well. This play list is called "Faith" on my iPhone and laptop. I have been listening to these 25 or so songs everyday since this time last year. They each really speak to me in different ways. Of course I have my favorites such as "Great is thy Faithfulness", "Jesus Will Still be There", "Amazing Grace" and many others but for whatever reason, I woke up last night in the middle of a pretty good sleep with this particular song (The Greatness of our God) in my head and lyrics speaking to me. With everything going on in my life right now I have to catch and stop myself crying to God and asking for my many issues, concerns and requests to be answered and instead look to Him to know Him and His GREATNESS.

I first heard this song at Immanuel Baptist Church in Shawnee at a special service inside Raley Chapel. I played in the orchestra and I had heard the orchestral side of the arrangement but never the words and scripture side of this song. When we began to sing and play the song and I heard the words, I stopped playing and just listened and was moved by the Holy Spirit.

The Greatness of our God

Give my eyes to see more of who You are

May what I behold Still my anxious heart

Take what I have known and break it all apart

For you my God are greater still

And no sky contains

No doubt restrains

All You are

The greatness of our God

I'll spend my life to know

and I am far from close to all You are

The greatness of our God

Give me grace to see beyond this moment here

To believe that there is nothing left to fear

And that You are alone are high above it all

For you My God are greater still

And no sky contains

No doubt restrains

All You are

The greatness of our God

I'll spend my life to know

and I am far from close to all You are

The greatness of our God

And there is nothing that could ever separate us

No there is nothing that could ever separate us from your love

No life, no death

Of this I am convinced

That you my God are greater still

And no word can say

Or song convey all You are

The Greatness of our God

I'll spend my life to know and
I'm far from close to all you are

The Greatness of our God

And no sky contains

No doubt restrains

All You are

The greatness of our God

I'll spend my life to know

and I am far from close to all You are

The greatness of our God

So give me eyes to see more of who You are

What an amazing testimony of  getting to know God and all of His GREATNESS. I know I am continually working towards this goal and no matter what is going on in my life, I still need to look to Him for guidance. He is a GREAT GOD! He will take care of you and provide for you and your family. You just have to look to Him and trust him!

God is Good... All the Time!
