An amazing song…

I have to stop and say that this is an amazing song.  It is one that needs to be sung.  It is one that needs to be included in our prayers.  I heard it on KLOVE yesterday.  While I know it has been out for a few months, the message is great.

God of this City came as a prophecy from a band called Bluetree (song recently by Christ Tomlin) when they were on a mission trip in Padi, Thailand.  From what I have read, Padi has over 30,000 prostitute over the age of 18.  This number doesn’t include men or children. 

While Bluetree was on this mission trip they were allowed to play in a Brothel and the only thing that the people who ran the brothel said was everyone who came with the band needed to buy a coke.  While they were playing there this song came forth and it was given to them by God. 

As best as I could, following are the lyrics:

 

You’re the God of this city
You’re the King of these people
You’re the Lord of this nation
You are

You’re the light in this darkness
You’re the hope to the hopeless
You’re the peace to the restless
You are

For there is no-one like our God
There is no-one like our God

Greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things have still to be done here

You’re the Lord of creation
The creator of all things
You’re the King above all kings

You’re the strength in the weakness
You’re the love to the broken
You’re the joy in the sadness

Greater things have yet to come
Greater things have still to be done
In this city

Where glory shines from hearts alive
With praise for You and
Love for you in this city

Greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things have still to be done here
