God of this City

This morning I went running. My least favorite part of my run is towards the end when I'm slowing down and I'm hot and sweaty. At this point I have to leave the nice quiet side road and go back to the crowded dust covered gravely road with the petrol fumes getting in my lungs as I try to breathe.

Anyway, the point is, it's usually not my favorite part of the run. This morning was a little different. Just as I was passing by all of the lizards sunning on the pavement, scampering into the overgrown grasses and ready to hit the major road again, a song by Chris Tomlin came on my iPod, "God of This City." I know I quoted him last week, but he really does have some great songs!

The song came on with perfect timing. I had a hazy(ahem...polluted) view of Ibadan this city I live in, and I was reminded again of God's faithfulness. He is the God of this city! Greater things have yet to come and greater things are still to be done in this city.

God of this City

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

There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city

-Chris Tomlin
