God of Heaven

      This post is going to be a little different. Most of what I post is original and the product of my occasionally twisted mind. This post will largely be someone else's work. Music has a way of moving me unlike anything else. Our choir is working on a song by Heather Sorenson called "God of Heaven". It speaks to the omnipotence of God. The lyrics remind me of the passage in Job when God challenges Job to consider the things of God that we take for granted. If you think you are so smart, where do I store snow? Who tells the ocean to go this far but no farther? I find it comforting that we serve a God that is the author of all Creation.

     It is a powerful song, with powerful lyrics, in a powerful setting. There is a link to a video at the end, please take the time to watch it. There is a bit of a commercial after the song, you don't have to watch that part.

God of Heaven
Heather Sorenson

God of Heaven.
God of all the earth and sky.
Great Creator.
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 Heaven.
God of all the earth and sky.

God of Ages.
God of Ages.
God who wrote the Book of Time.
Sovereign Ruler.
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.
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 who heals us.
God of Power.
God of Power.
God of Ages.
God of Ages.
God of Heaven.
God of all the earth and sky.
