God of Heaven

Having not yet updated my blog since my summer plans have been secured, it's time that I refresh everyone on the basic details of my life.  I'm currently working as the youth intern for my home church FBC Augusta.  I get to work with my youth group discipling in various ways as well as help plan big events like camp, DNow, ect.  I have already gotten to experience many of the reasons God has put me here this year.

I hope to let you in on some of those some other time, but I mainly want to leave you with something else for now.

I know that it's a cool thing to do to put some song lyrics on your blog.  I wasn't so sure about this fad, but when I first heard this song from our youth's choir last Sunday, it truly inspired me and I wanted to share this.  It really captures for me the greatness of God.  I encourage you to open up this link in a new tab: God of Heaven to listen to the song while you read the lyrics.

God of Heaven
by Heather Sorenson


God of Heaven, God of all the earth and sky.Master of all nature.
Who gives birth to snow from heaven,
Holds the waves at ocean's edge,
Gives the orders to the morning,
Shows each dawn its place to shine?
God of Heaven, God of all the earth and sky.

God of Ages, God who wrote the Book of Time.
Sovereign Ruler, Alpha and Omega.
Saints before, He's guided safely.
History's pages signed by Him.
Author of our days and hours;
Things to come are held secure.
God of Ages, Alpha and Omega.

God of Power!  God who breaks the darkness.
Righteous Warrior, Champion of His children,
Goes before us into battle;
Good and evil bow to Him,
Those in bondage freed forever,
Victories won at  His command!

God who heals us, God who gives us peace and hope.
God who listens, Carries all our fragile
Dreams and heartaches, wins and failures;
Binds the broken; hides the weak.
New beginnings freely offered;
Who can make us whole again?
God who heals us, God of Power,
God of Ages, God of Heaven,
God of all the earth and sky.




Because God is challenging me in new (and completely unexpected to be honest) ways, it is great that I can lean on Him to be so Great when I'm not.


"This is what the LORD says,
'Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches,
but let him who boasts boast about this:
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight
declares the LORD
Jeremiah 9:23-24
