God of this City

Our recent visit to a metropolis was wonderful and exhausting all in one.  It is a lot bigger than the city I live near.


Being somewhat submersed into the culture, I was over come with the need of God to truly be in the lives of the people.


I was sadden by behavior of grown adult.  Sadden they don't know a better way - God's way.


The statues of great men and all they accomplished without a mention of their source of strength - God.


The pro-choice advocacy poster.


The homeless who carried all their owned in backpacks


The assault of evolution in the museums.


This city is not alone.  There is a hope.  For God is there.  He is working - through His people, His church, His power.  The battle is being fought for this city.  


You're the God of this city
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of these 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 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
