Your Great Renown

Our hearts are longing for
The glory of the Lord
To be made known in all the Earth
Lord let Your kingdom come
Lord let Your will be done
Yours is the greatest name of all

We want to see the nations bow
We want to hear the rising sound
Of the worship that You deserve
We want this passion to abound
A burden for Your great renown
Yours is the greatest name of all <<< style="font-style: italic;">longing for

Our hearts are longing for
The wisdom of the Lord
To be proclaimed in all the Earth
Your
ways are higher than
The dreams of any man
Yours
is the greatest name of all
Our hearts are hungry for
The power of the Lord
To be displayed in all the Earth
The message of the Cross
Will bring hope to the lost
Yours is the greatest name of all

Music by Eric Grover and Steve Cook

We sang this song at church Sunday. It was just another reminder of what I must truly set my gaze on.

Thoughts

Your ways are higher than
The dreams of any man

Anything I can dream up is like a child growing up in a garbage dump and asking their parent for something that is "good" garbage. Little do they realize that their parent is going to take them to the beach or the mountains. And even when their parent assures them that it is going to be greater than anything they have ever seen, the child (aka me) insist they want the "good" garbage. There is an element of trust that we as "children" must take. Because if we don't we will be forever stuck in the garbage thinking that we have got it all.


The message of the Cross
Will bring hope to the lost

What a message. And with such a message comes such a hope : ).
