May this be.
Sometimes it's hard to see or imagine that God is God of our city. Yet, isn't it part of our job (as those God has saved from an eternity of misery through Jesus' Precious Blood) to go by a Hope that we don't see and to pray for things that don't seem to exist at the moment. We don't pray for revival because everything is rosy; we pray for revival because we see the pain around us. We don't pray for God's Good News and Truth to go forth because everyone is already walking in it; we see the darkness around us (and possibly even in us) and so we pray for God to break through. It's easy to get caught up in what we see and not cling on to the fact God is indeed God. He indeed still brings hope to the hopeless, healing to the chronically ill, and life to those who are currently running towards deadly destruction. Weren't we once without God, without hope, without life (as Ephesians demonstrates)- Yet, Yeshua came as our Hero. He came as our Champion! He came and brought the blessings of the New Covenant mentioned in Jeremiah 31:31 (and on a bit in that passage) in our lives so that we can declare that God is not only God of this City, but He is indeed our God and we are indeed His people!
On that note: this song is a good catalyst to discuss what we see around us to God and let Him guide us in prayer that only an intimate conversation with Him could bring.
May this song be a blessing in Jesus the Messiah's Mighty Name.
(By the way, when viewing anything on Tangle [which used to be Godtube, but still is meant to be an "online community for Christians"] the ads are not necessarily for good things. At least at this moment that I'm writing this review.)
