005. This Is Our God - Hillsong 2008 w/z Lyrics and Chords

Your grace is enough

More than i need

At Your word i will believe

I wait for you

Draw near again

Let Your Spirit make me new

And I will fall at your feet

i will fall at your feet

And i will worship you here

Your presence in me

Jesus light the way

By the power of your word

I am restored

I am redeemed

By your Spirit i am free

And i will fall at your feet

i will fall at your feet

And i will worship you here

Freely you gave it all for us

Surrendered your life

Upon that cross

Great is the love

Poured out for all

This is our God

Lifed on high

From death to life

Forever our God is glorified

Servant and King

Rescued the world

This is our God

And i will fall at your feet

I will fall at your feet

And i will worship you here

And i will fall at your feet

i will fall at your feet

And i will worship you here

Freely you gave it all for us

Surrendered your life upon that cross

Great is the love

Poured out for all

This is our God

Lifed on high

From death to life

Forever our God is glorified

Servant and king Rescued the world

This is our God

You're the God of This City‏

I pray that this song will ring true in everycity in the World. May Christ be glorified! Keith

God of This City

1 - 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.

Pre Chorus:
There is no one like our God,
There is no one like our God.

For greater things have yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done
In this city.
Greater things have yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done
In this city.

2 - 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 no one like our God,
There is no one like our God.

For greater things have yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done
In this city.
Greater things have yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done here.

3 - 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.

For greater things have yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done
In this city.
Greater things have yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done here.

To go along with this song there is a great little acronym:WWJD - What Would Jesus Do? We should ask that question ofourselves every time we get into a difficult situation. If wedo, and act upon it, it will bring peace and satisfaction into our lives. Keith

Do you feel weak, discouraged, disheartened, unqualified?‏

Do you feel weak, discouraged, disheartened, unqualified? If you do, consider who is talking to you. It’s not God. Here is what His Word has to say about you and what you need to do to be Strong in the Lord. May God bless the reading of His Word

Philippians 4:13 (KJV) I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.

Hebrews 12:2 (NIV) Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NIV) For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient Christ.

Philippians 4:7-8 (KJV) And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your mind in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.

I LUV DOGS

i luv dog & its cute =)

Love the Lord Your God

I really want to be with you Lord =)

Love Cherie's blog=)

Amen=)

I love it=)

These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to abserve in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that i give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. Hear, O Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God for your fathers, promised you. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
