"God Of This City"

Our Wednesday evening service was a special blessing to me as we reflected on the tragedy of 9-11-01. But we also turned to a time of celebration and reflection as we celebrated the 4th Anniversary of the first service of what would develop into New River Worship Center. The meeting was somber, serene, yet celebratory. The Spirit led us into a time of prayer and praise as we recognized the greatness of our Lord and King. Even during difficult and challenging times we can join with Chris Tomlin and declare that God is still God Of This City. I left service last night with that song on my mind and in my heart. I sensed the Spirit remind me of the words of that song during prayer time this morning. I want to share some of the words that God led Bro. Chris to write as he expressed his belief that God was the One with the final say in the affairs of mankind. Let me join with Bro. Chris and express my belief that God is still the One with the final say in the affairs of mankind. Never give up on the promises of God and never turn loose of the promises of God. Hold tightly to His Word and rely on His Spirit to guide your hearts!!

You're the God of this City
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You are

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater thing have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City 

Take a moment and either read or sing these words over your life, your home, your neighborhood, your city, your state and over our nation. God is truly our Light, our Hope, and our Peace!
