Same God - Elevation Worship cover by Jesse Jorgensen

This weekend we had a women's prayer night at church. As part of that we sing a couple of songs together, share prayer requests and then pray for each other in small groups. It's an awesome night of fellowship, sweet time of sharing and an encouraging time of prayer. 

This week one of the songs we sang was Same God (yes, I know - that was the last song I blogged about, too... apparently it's just the song for my current season). At the end of the evening I heard someone comment that this song was basically a full sermon, and I can't disagree. The truth found in this song is so rich - so full.

    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

How amazing is it that the God of Jacob has loved us through all generations, faithfully keeping his covenants with us. How great that the God of Moses, who opened up the ocean, can now do the same things for us.

    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

My prayer and call today is so much this: God I need you now. When I feel overwhelmed, when I feel discouraged, alone, broken, or not enough. O God, my God... I need you

    You are the same God... You are the same God

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
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

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

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 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
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

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
