The Greatness of our God

This song has meant so much to me in the past few weeks and I just wanted to share it with those of you who read our blog.
As I post these lyrics and video, I'm filled with a combination of mixed emotions. I have a heart of joy for all the many blessings the Lord has lavished upon me and my sweet family.....his goodness, his faithfulness and his unconditional love.
But, I also have a very heavy heart as Jer and I are walking beside and praying earnestly for two close friends battling cancer. One friend has been a mentor to me while teaching school and I've looked up to her in so many ways as I've seen her love others and the Lord with all her heart. I went to visit her and pray over her on Tuesday with some ladies.......we are praying for a miracle to heal her and save her! We know it's a selfish prayer to want to keep her here on Earth with us....but we are praying and believing that God's will is best and hoping his will aligns with ours. She needs prayer just to make it through each moment of the day at this point. Another friend is a young mom a little older than me who just found out she has breast cancer. I just can't even imagine being in her shoes...but I know our God will be faithful and love her through this journey ahead.
So, with all this on my heart - this song has been such an encouragement to me. I pray that it will also encourage you and remind you of how great and perfect our Father's love is no matter what you may be facing today. He is greatly to be praised even when we can't find the words to express. Even when life seems unbearable.....and seems impossible to praise Him...HE is great and good and worthy to be praised.
The one line that really seems to express my heart today is....

"I spend my life to know, and I'm far from close to all You are, the greatness of our God."

Verse 1:
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.

Bridge: 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.
