God is great!

The Greatness of Our God: by Hillsong

Give me eyes to see
More of who You are
May what I behold,
still my anxious heart.
Take what I have known
And break it all apart
For You my God, are greater still.

CHORUS
No sky contains,
No doubt restrains,
All You are,
The greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close
To all You are,
The greatness of our God.

Verse 2:
Give me grace to see
Beyond this moment here.
To believe that there
Is nothing left to fear.

That You alone are high above it all.
For You my God, are greater still.

CHORUS 2x
No sky contains,
No doubt restrains,
All You are,
The greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close
To all You are,
The greatness of our God.

Brigde: 2x
And there is nothing
That can ever separate us.
There is nothing that can ever
separate us from Your love.
No life, no death, of this I am convinced.
You my God, are greater still.

2x:
And no words can say, or song convey,
all You are the greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close
to all You are,
the greatness of our God.

I've had this song in my head since I sang it at church on Sunday. Powerful words.

I'm in awe that there is nothing that can separate me from the love of God. Even my doubts can not restrain the depths of His love or who He is. Instead of keeping me from striving to find out all of who He is, knowing that He is greater than I can ever imagine pushes me to see how much I can learn. I love His limitlessness. I'm amazed that in His limitlessness, in His greatness, and in His majesty He loves me.

     Father, like the song says, "give me grace to see beyond this moment here; to believe that there is nothing left to fear." No fear of being rejected by You because I am not perfect. No fear of being taken to a point beyond my control and being left to fend for myself. Because of who You are I do not have to have fear of those things. For Your love casts out ALL fears.
     Help me to go to bed different than who I was when I got up this morning. Less fearful and more trusting. Growing in the knowledge of who You are and desiring to never stop wanting all of who You are. In Jesus name, Amen.
