Strong God - Jesse Jorgensen (song revisit)

Often over the last few weeks/months I have found myself questioning where the good is. As I watch people divide over issues that they feel passionately about one way or the other I find myself concerned over the lack of unity, and the message that might be carried "in the name of Christ" to people. When people doing things that feel contrary to the Jesus I know carry signs saying "Jesus loves you" I get defensive. I find myself worried that others will lump me into categories that I don't want to belong in.

Father to the fatherless

Defender of the weak

Freedom for the prisoner

We sing

This is God in His holy place

This is God clothed in love and strength

THIS God. This is the God that I worship. The Father to the fatherless, the defender of the weak. And this is the God that I have found myself crying out to... seeking above all. That I might be a true reflection of His love, His grace. 

Because my actions speak louder than my words, and my God speaks louder than others. I need to listen to Him alone - do what He asks, love whom He loves... in every day, in every way. I pray that my life speaks louder than the categories...that my care of others will be the testimony that allows me to resist defensiveness.

There is no higher, no

There is no greater, no

There is none stronger than our God

Father to the fatherless

Defender of the weak

Freedom for the prisoner

We sing

This is God in His holy place

This is God clothed in love and strength

Sing out, lift your voice and cry out

Awesome is our strong God, mighty is our God

With us in the wilderness

Faithful to provide

Every breath and every step

We see

This is God in His holy place

This is God clothed in love and strength

Sing out, lift your voice and cry out

Awesome is our strong God, mighty is our God

Sing out, raise your hands and shout out

Awesome is our strong God, mighty is our God

There is no higher, no

There is no greater, no

There is none stronger than our God

Sing out, lift your voice and cry out

Awesome is our strong God, mighty is our God

Sing out, raise your hands and shout out

Awesome is our strong God, mighty is our God

Mighty is our God

Mighty is our God
