Still God

Wow.. I can't believe that it's 2009! Time is really flying; it seems like just yesterday I was nervous about starting high school and now I only have 1 1/2 years left of college! Amazing!

There has been a song that I have just thought is completely awesome lately. My favorite part is the bridge (at least I think it's the bridge, it's not the chorus and it's not another verse... so I'm going to call it the bridge). The words are:

All of my life

in every season

You are still God

I have a reason to sing

I have a reason to worship

I just think it's an amazing reminder of who God is and that it doesn't matter what's happening in our lives: God is still God, I am still not, and I still have a reason to worship. With everything that is happening in the world lately, I just think this is a good reminder for everyone. The economy may be uncertain, jobs are hard to come by, wars are occurring, sickness is spreading, but through it all God is still God... He still loves us enough to die for us, forgive us, and have a relationship with us... Do we still love him enough to sing to and worship Him? I sure hope the answer is yes. My uncle was just diagnosed with cancer, another uncle with Hashimoto's (sp?) disease, hours are being cut drastically for some family, and yet through it all God is still God.

This is my prayer in the desert

when all that's within me feels dry

This is my prayer in my hunger and need

My God is the God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire

In weakness or trial or pain

There is a faith proved of more worth than gold

So refine me Lord through the flame

I will bring praise

I will bring praise

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice

I will declare

For God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the battle

When triumph is still on its way

I am a conqueror and co heir with Christ

So firm on his promise I'll stand

I will bring praise

I will bring praise

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice

I will declare

God is my victory and He is here

All of my life

in every season

You are still God

I have a reason to sing

I have a reason to worship

All of my life

in every season

You are still God

I have a reason to sing

I have a reason to worship

All of my life

in every season

You are still God

I have a reason to sing

I have a reason to worship

All of my life

in every season

You are still God

I have a reason to sing

I have a reason to worship

I will bring praise

I will bring praise

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice

I will declare

God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer in the harvest

When favour and providence flow

I know I'm filled to be emptied again

The seed I receive I will sow
