Forever Reign

There's so much beauty and truth, grace and redemption, love and forgiveness... in all of these lyrics.
God is good, love, light, hope, peace, true, joy, life, more, Lord, here, God, and so much more than even those names alone. God is the head of all things. God created all things.

Take those beautiful truths and think about them for a minute. That thought you just had.. God put that there.  That movement you just made, God allowed it to happen.  That breath you just took.. God's responsible for that one, too. I bet you blinked recently. God created that tiny movement for its own special purpose.

God created YOU for HIS own special purpose. He is so good, so loving, such a bright light, the one true hope, everlasting peace, the only truth, eternal joy, LIFE, and so much more, more, more. Ah. LOVE it. LOVE these lyrics.

Want more just like this from His actual Word?  Hit up the Psalms.  They're full of beautiful, poetic lyrics like Hillsong came up with.  But the coolest thing is, the Psalms weren't written by Hillsong.  Nope, those are GOD's words. Go check them out! Psalm 1, 63, 84, and 139 are my personal faves.

Read them, look them up and listen to them being sung, sing them, meditate on them, rejoice in them, and be thankful--so thankful--for them.

Forever Reign -- Hillsong
You are good, You are good
When there's nothing good in me
You are love, You are love 
On display for all to see
You are light, You are light 
When the darkness closes in
You are hope, You are hope
You have covered all my sin

You are peace, You are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true, You are true
Even in my wandering
You are joy, You are joy 
You're the reason that I sing
You are life, You are life, 
In You death has lost its sting

Oh, I’m running to Your arms, 
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

You are more, You are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord, You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here, You are here
In Your presence I'm made whole
You are God, You are God
Of all else I'm letting go

Oh, I’m running to Your arms
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

My heart will sing 
no other Name
Jesus, Jesus

Oh, I’m running to Your arms
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign
