Same God - Elevation Worship

 Do you ever hate a song the first time you hear it but then push through and about a dozen listens into a song discover maybe you hated it for how spot on the song was?

    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 not huge on needing other people. I don't like the weakness. I don't like the vulnerability. But the other day I found myself talking to someone who was mentioning trying really hard not to be needy and telling them that trusting others with their needs is actually a gift you give someone else. Trusting people with your vulnerabilities is an important part of relationship with others. Allowing others to see your needs - to take care of you in your weak spots. It's how relationship is built.

    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

How awesome that we serve a God who knows our weak spots, and wants to step in. Who wants to care for us, perfectly, in our moments of weakness - where we need Him. Who has proven over and over again throughout history that he can and will take care of us, that He will meet us as we fight our own giants.

    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 are the same God. Amen and Amen. May I trust you with the things I need, thank you that you provide and answer prayers, that you hear me.

    I never leave just as I came
    I always leave better with You
    You're faithful to satisfy
    Come and fill me again
    Come and fill me again


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

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

I'm calling on the Holy Spirit
Almighty River, come and fill me again
That's our prayer (come and fill me again)
I'm not satisfied, no (come and fill me again)
We want more (come and fill me again)
Till I'm overflowing (come and fill me again)

We want more (come and fill me again)
I'm not satisfied, I want more of You (come and fill me again)
Oh-oh (come and fill me again)
Holy Spirit, come again (come and fill me again)
I want more, till I'm running over (come and fill me again)
Till I'm running over (come and fill me again)

Holy Spirit, come again (fill me again)
Won't you fill me again (come and fill me again)
Till I'm running over (come and fill me again)
Till I'm running over (come and fill me again)

I never leave just as I came
I always leave better with You
You're faithful to satisfy
Come and fill me again
Come and fill me again
