God of this city

So at Student Life Camp last summer we had the priveledge of hearing a new Chris Tomlin song. I must confess we are a little Chris Tomlined out so to speak as we hear him every year we go to Student Life but he had this song that hit me and I like it, I love hearing it and I listen to it regularly on my Ipod. It's called God of this city and it's about a band that was in a foreign country. They were on a mission trip and were asked to play in a club that had never had a live band. The club was a very disgusting place where no Christian would dare to venture. The band, a Christian band decided to go and play there for free. Well, they sang their Christian songs in English and the people loved them. Not knowing it they were blessing this establishment. Later, after this performance the lead singer of the band was sharing his feelings with the rest of the band and they felt God's presence there in that club/bar like never before. So they wrote a song about it.
Here are some of the lyrics:
You are the God of this city
You are the King of these people
You are the God of Creation, You are.
The chorus:
Greater things are yet to come and greater things are still to be done in this city.
I like that song, I like all that it stands for. It completely conveys my feelings for St. Augustine, greater things are yet to come and greater things are still to be done in this city. God is the God of this city, He is the King of these people and we will see a day when this city is reached with the Gospel and comes alive for God.
ACts 9:35 "All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord."
Peter healed a paralytic man and who came to know Christ because of it? The entire group of people who came in contact with the paralytic man. All who saw him turned to the Lord. It lists earlier in the chapter that the believers were gathered. So not only did it reach the lost, it revitalized the saved.
The day is fast approaching where we will have a major break-thru for the Gospel and many, many will come to know Christ. Those who already know Him will be recharged to reach the lost, and God will without a doubt be the God of this city!
I believe this will be done through the lives of our young people, and that is where we need to work most diligently to share the Gospel.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
