Our Amazing God
God of Wonders
Songwriters: Marc Byrd and Steve Hindelong
Lord of all creation
Of the water, earth and sky
The Heavens are your Tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high.
God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy.
The universe declares your majesty
You are holy, holy
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light.
And when I stumble in the darkness
I will call your name by night.
God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy.
The universe declares your majesty
You are holy, holy.
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and Earth!
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and Earth!
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and Earth!
God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy.
The universe declares your majesty
You are holy, holy.
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and Earth!
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and Earth!
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and Earth!

There is so much going on in all corner of our world, and so much of it is bad. I pick up the newspaper each day to read of businesses closing, people suddenly out of work. Desperation is written on the faces of so many. Suicide rates are creeping up. Families are losing their homes, their hope.
But we need to stop and remind ourselves of our wonderful world, the world we have been gifted with. There is so much more positive than there is negative. We need to look at our lives and see what we need as opposed to what we want.
Look at the verses of this beautiful song. While the first verse offers praises to God for His creation, acknowledges His mighty power and the wonders of this universe, the second verse goes deeper.
“Early in the morning I will celebrate the light. And when I stumble in the darkness I will call your name by night.”
This one verse goes to the heart of our faith, and to the heart of prayer. We should praise God in all things, call out His glory. The writers speak of waking and praising God for the rising sun. But they go on to say that in the darkness, we will humble ourselves and call His name.
Pretty good metaphor for our present day. Many of us are suffering through a “night” period of life, a dark time. But as we stumble through this darkness, call out to God. He is there, and He will restore us. He longs to help guide us back into that bright light.
Take the time to listen to this song. It is both a prayer and a praise. Enjoy!

I am trying to learn not to stress as much over things and to remember that it is God in control no one else…now this is a big thing for me! Issiah 55:8-9 “My thoughts are completly, different from yours says the Lord. and My ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”
