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
