Revival Song

God is so big - His might is so incomprehensible - His holiness so much greater than we can imagine.  As I was singing the theme that became this song earlier in the week while on my commute to Grand Rapids I included in my singing worship a prayer for those who have no idea WHO GOD IS.  As I did so tears filled my eyes and I could only choke out a word at a time.

I'm not sure people are going to get this song.  There is so little fear of the Lord in this land.  We would rather sing about Him to satisfy our sense of religion than to Him to come into His presence.  We speak of God's love and ask for more but we don't speak of His majesty and weep because we are afraid of offending people and turning them off.  Well guess what, God is perfectly capable of defending Himself.

His word to us today is the same as He gave one of my daughters years ago as she was praying and fasting  for her community.  "Tell them, I am the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come."    



Father God

Father God You are wonderful
Father God You are wonderful
Father God You are wonderful
And I fall upon my knees to You and worship

Father God You are awe awe some
Father God You are awe awe some
Father God You are awe awe some
And I lay before Your mighty throne to worship

Who can stand before Your glory
Who can understand Your might
Who can enter into Your presence without fear

But the fear of You is wisdom
And the dread of You is gain
How I want to be so near You without shame

Father God You are mi mighty
Father God You are mi mighty
Father God You are mi mighty
And I give back to You the very life You gave me

Father God You are ho holy
Father God You are ho holy
Father God You are ho holy
And I cry out to You to show me Your mercy

Who can stand before Your glory
Who can understand Your might
Who can enter into Your presence without fear

But the fear of You is wisdom
And the dread of You is gain
How I want to be so near you without shame

Father God save my dear dear friends
Father God save my dear dear friends
Father God save my dear dear friends
I can't breath when I think about forever

Father God save my family
Father God save my family
Father God save my family
Let us stand together in Your Presence

May Your Spirit move in power
May Your Son be always praised
May we open up our hearts throughout this land

May we give You all the honor
May Your mercy save us now
As a family before You we will bow

Father God You are wonderful
Father God You are awe awe some
Father God You are mi mighty
Father God You are ho holy
