Extra! Extra!

The third song we have chosen is called "God of the City" by Blue True. This song is sung frequently in our church, so it will be a song the children are familiar with.

Here are the lyrics:

You're the God of this city
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You are

You're the Light in this darkness
You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless
You are

There is none like our God
There is none like You, God!

Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city!
Greater thing have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here

You're the Lord of creation
The creator of all things
You're the King above all kings
You are

You're the Strength in the weakness
You are Love to the broken
You're the Joy in the sadness
You are

Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city!
Where glory shines from hearts alive
With praise for You and love for You
In this city.

I love it when we sing this song as a church congregation. It acknowledges who God is and the great need in this city that has yet to be met.

The Bibles says we are to always be prepared to talk to others about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In other words, evangelism should be a burning desire in our hearts that causes us to eagerly look forward to sharing with others the hope we have in Christ.

"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord.

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you

to give the reason for the hope that you have.

 But do this with gentleness and respect."

1 Peter 3:15

I believe if we have this attitude of heart, God will send many people across our path who are searching for answers, because He knows He can rely on us to tell them about the Good News.

The world that God loves so much is lost, desperate, and reckless — and in great need of good news.
