Same God

Leave a comment

I have not been able to shake this song for weeks now. It’s one of my go-to songs when I prep for class.

I’m calling on the God of Jacob
Whose love endures through generations
I know that You will keep Your covenant

I’m calling on the God of Moses
The one who opened up the ocean
I need You now to do the same thing for me
For me, for me

O God, my God, I need You
O God, my God, I need You now
How I need You now
O Rock, O Rock of ages
I’m standing on Your faithfulness
On Your faithfulness

I’m calling on the God of Mary
Whose favor rests upon the lowly
I know with You all things are possible

I’m calling on the God of David
Who made a shepherd boy courageous
I may not face Goliath
But I’ve got my own giants

O God, my God, I need You
O God, my God, I need You now
How I need You now, yes
O Rock, O Rock of ages
I’m standing on Your faithfulness
On Your faithfulness

O God, my God, I need You (I need You Lord)
O God, my God, I need You now
How I need You now, yeah
O Rock, O Rock of ages
I’m standing on Your faithfulness
On Your faithfulness

It’s your faithfulness I’m standing on
Never changes, never changes

You heard Your children then
You hear Your children now
You are the same God
You are the same God

You answered prayers back then
And You will answer now
You are the same God
You are the same God

You were providing then
You are providing now
You are the same God (You are the same)
You are the same God

You moved in power then
God, move in power now
You are the same God
You are the same God

You were a healer then
You are a healer now
You are the same God
You are the same God

You were a savior then
You are a savior now
You are the same God
You are the same God

O God, my God, I need You (lift it up)
O God, my God, I need You now (how we need You now)
How I need You now (we stand in faithfulness)
O Rock, O Rock of ages
I’m standing on Your faithfulness
Oh, on Your faithfulness

O God, my God, I need You
O God, my God, I need You now
How I need You now (oh-oh)
O Rock, O Rock of ages
I’m standing on Your faithfulness
On Your faithfulness

On Your faithfulness, God
You’re faithful God
Jesus, You’re the same
Yesterday, today, and forever

You’re the same God (yes, You are)
You’re the same God
This is who we worship tonight, yeah
He’s the same, He’s the same, oh God
How I need You, yeah
How I need You, yeah

You freed the captives then
You’re freeing hearts right now
You are the same God
You are the same God

You touched the lepers then
I feel Your touch right now
You are the same God
You are the same God

Never changing
Oh, forever
We feel You now
You’re the same God
You’re the same God, yeah
How we need You now, yeah

I’m calling on the Holy Spirit
Almighty River, come and fill me again
(Let that be your prayer tonight)
Come and fill me again
(Come and fill me)
Come and fill me again

Netflix Trip – AJR

Leave a comment

I had my first crush in season two
She passed me notes and filled our hands with glue
And in my corduroy’s we’d walk to school
I sat and crossed my legs like Jim would do

She moved away I was on season three
It hit my heart so hard I’d hardly speak
But I could find some peace and privacy
A paper company to sit with me

Who are we to wonder where we’re going?
Who am I to tell me who I am?
Let’s take it back and take in every moment
Who am I to tell me who I am?

I turned down Jameson when I was twelve
I spent that Friday night with Steve Carrell
The one where Dwight became the head of Sales
My eighth grade graduation wished me well

I lost my grandfather in season six
I watched my mom, she cried and held her kids
My mind was broken up I couldn’t think
So I just hugged her the way Michael did

But who are we to wonder where we’re going?
Who am I to tell me who I am?
Let’s take it back and take in every moment
Who am I to tell me who I am?

Time’s where we’re going
Tell me who I am
Take in every moment
Hold it close again

Now the finale’s done and I’m alone
I’m on a Netflix Trip here on my phone
But who I am is in these episodes
So don’t you tell me that it’s just a show

Who are we to wonder where we’re going?
Who am I to tell me who I am?
Let’s take it back and take in every moment
Who am I to tell me who I am?

But who are we to wonder where we’re going?
Who am I to tell me who I am?
Let’s take it back and take in every moment
Who am I to tell me who I am?
Who am I to tell me who I am?
Who am I to tell me who I am?

An Unbroken Family By Sarah Kroger

Leave a comment

The lyrics praise the Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—establishing the foundation of Christian belief. The song emphasizes the idea of God as a loving family, emphasizing the relationship between the divine entities and the human family.

The song’s central message is about healing and reconciliation. The lyrics describe how Jesus, by becoming humanity’s transgressions and being crucified, aimed to mend a broken world and bring people together as one “unbroken family.” The phrase “kiss of peace” refers to Jesus’ sacrifice, which reconciles humanity to God.

The lyrics also address themes of redemption and transformation. Stubborn hearts of sin and stone are humbled by God’s kindness and mercy, allowing the wayward to be reconciled to the Father. The song highlights the transformative power of God’s love in mending hearts and leaving them wild for His glory.

In the chorus, the words “undivided” and “reunited” emphasize the unity and connection achieved through Jesus’ sacrifice. The lyrics assert that nothing can separate the believers from the love of God, reflecting the strength of their bond.

This song is an expression of gratitude and devotion to the Holy Trinity, celebrating the unity, redemption, and love made possible through Jesus’ sacrifice. The ultimate goal is for humanity to come together as an “unbroken family,” reflecting the divine relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Faith

Let’s talk about faith, courage and love.

"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love."

In 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, Paul is encouraging the Corinthian church to be vigilant and steadfast in their faith. He urges them to be on guard against false teachings and temptations that may lead them astray. He also tells them to be courageous and strong in their beliefs, and to always do everything in love.

These verses remind us that our faith is not a passive thing, but rather it requires effort and intentionality. We must be vigilant in protecting our faith and to be ready to stand firm in the face of adversity. We must also be courageous in sharing our faith and in standing up for what is right, even when it is difficult.

Additionally, Paul reminds us that we should always be doing everything in love. Love should be the guiding principle in all that we do, whether it be in our relationships with others, or in the way we live our lives. Love should be the motivation for all that we do, and it should be evident in all our actions.

In summary, Paul encourages the Corinthian church and us to be vigilant, steadfast, courageous and strong in our faith, and to always do everything in love. Let us strive to live out these principles in our own lives, so that we may be true servants of Christ.

The work is mysterious and important.
