I don’t know if you’ve ever had a song stuck in your head. I have had one in particular for quite a while that pops up from time to time. It seems appropriate with my church in the process of moving to a new permanent location and so many whispers of revival floating around.

Though made famous by Chris Tomlin and Passion, the song was originally written and recorded by Bluetree, a Northern Irish Contemporary Christian band after they visited a town in Thailand and saw the overwhelming amount of poverty there. The song is about how no matter how bleak things appear, that God is really the one in control and in charge and the best is truly yet to come in terms of God moving among His people:

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

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

There is no one like our God
There is no one like you, God

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

We believe, we believe in you, God

Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here
Greater things, still to be done here” (Aaron Boyd / Andrew Mccann / Ian Jordan / Peter Comfort / Peter Kernaghan / Richard Bleakley)
