What a
wonderful God we have
Yes,
eternal, all mighty, creator of all there is
All those
amazing things beyond our comprehension
But also the
God who hears the cries of his people
The God who
sees our joys and our sorrow and suffering
The God who
cares deeply and loves passionately
The God who
responds, answers and moves
What a
wonderful God we have
Yes,
enthroned above, sovereign and all powerful
Vast and
beyond our ability to understand or contain
But also the
God who in Jesus became one of us, pitched his tent at our place
Who allowed
himself to be a man of sorrow acquainted with our grief
Taught a
better way and died to open that way for us
Who invites
us to come to him and find rest
What a
wonderful God we have
Holy,
Righteous and just, perfect in all he does
Who measures
the seas in his palm, the universe in the span of his arms
Yet, does
not remain aloof but dwells within us by the Holy Spirit
Speaking to
us and guiding us by his word
Comforting
the sorrow filled, strengthening the weak giving courage to the fearful.
Enabling us
to witness to the hope we have, by word and deed
what a
wonderful God we have
we do not
have the words to describe all that you are and all you do
we need all
out theology and all our word craft and it is not enough
But we also
know you accept our simple 3thaanks for everyday blessing
For family
and friends, support and companionship, love and care
For
providing what we need, food, clothing and shelter
For who
you’ve made us with our skills and abilities to make ends meet
Giving us
plenty so we may share will those for whom you care
What a
wonderful God we have
Who does not
want us to pretend that we’ve got it all together
But invites
us to be honest and transparent
Not to hide
our sin and wrongdoing but to confess it
Knowing that
as we do God forgives and wipes the slate clean
Not
imagining we’ve got it all together
But bringing
our brokenness, that he will bind up and make whole
What a
wonderful God we have
Who is not
just from way back when or coming again
Not just a
distant memory or a vague future hope
But is here
with us today in our worship and the ebb and flow of life
Accept our
worship O God
We admit we
have done wrong, forgive our sin and make us whole
Fill us
afresh with Your spirt to do your will, to bring glory to you, father son and
Holy Spirit.
