I received an email today from my Grandpa in BC. He was emailing me in response to reading this site.
He told me to "Read Song 769 for a great stimulant."
So I did.
Here is what is says:
What a work the Lord has done
By his saving grace;
Let us praise him, every one,
In his holy place.
He has saved us gloriously,
Led us onward faithfully,
Yet he promised we should see
Even greater things.
Greater things! Greater things!
Give us faith, O Lord, we pray,
Faith for greater things.
Sanctify they name, O Lord,
By they people here,
For the altar or the sword!
Save us from our fear
When the battle rages fast;
Help us in the fiery blast,
Let us not be overcast,
Prove thy greater things.
Every comrade, Lord, we pray,
Thou wilt richly bless;
Lead us forth into the fray,
One in holiness,
One in faith and harmony,
One in perfect charity;
Then we know that we shall see
Even greater things.
I don't even know where to start. Even greater things!!! God has saved us from our sins...the greatest thing anyone can do, yet that's not all!! Because he has promised us even greater things!!
"Save us from our fear
When the battle rages fast;
Help us in the fiery blast,
Let us not be overcast,
Prove thy greater things"
I love that part of the song! We are in a daily war, battling for our Lord...but we need not fear! God has something far greater planned!
Reading this song actually came at a perfect time for me today. In the spring I gave over my biggest struggle to God and he promised me that if I could commit this to Him for a year, He had much much bigger plans for me.."something better..." Well today has been a struggle with it. One of those times when I feel lost and I'm losing hope as I try to patiently wait for the Lords timing and not my own. And the the line in the chorus of this song hit me...
"Greater things! Greater things!
Give us faith, O Lord, we pray,
Faith for greater things."
God has promised me greater things...I just need faith. Faith to know that He won't forget me or His plan for my life. Greater things...Definitely beyond anything that I could try to dream up.
Read this song over..a couple times. Then think about how this applies to your life.
What does this song mean to you?
Leave a comment and let me know!
Until then,
"Let us praise him, every one..."
God Bless!

What a good song! I haven't heard it in a while so it was nice to be reminded...thanks! When I read the words of this song, I am overwhealmed with a feeling of hope. The part that says, "Yet He promised we should see even greater things" makes me so happy to know that I can expect awesome things from God, stuff that could never be imagined. Not a new concept, I know, but it still amazes me every time I think about it! It also makes me want to think outside the box! Sometimes I find I try to put God in a box or put a limit in my mind on what I think He can do in me and how He can use me. Then I am reminded as I cannot close the box that God is so incedible...He is all knowing, all controlling, most powerful, completely able...the list goes on. Our God is awesome! Be blessed!
