Thanks for checking back for day 2 of Week of Worship! I'm excited to share with you today's song. If you've kept up with worship music at all recently, you've probably heard it. But I want to share it anyway because it is so powerful.
I would like to pick a few lines from the song and highlight those, but basically every word is powerful and meaningful, so here goes.
Oh, I've heard a thousand stories //Of what they think You're like.
But I've heard the tender whisper //Of love in the dead of night.
And You tell me that You're pleased //And that I'm never alone.
So we talk about God and His love and His character a lot, right? But until you truly experience His love, you'll never understand, even if you hear "a thousand stories." Even a million stories can't describe the love that a holy God expresses for His sinful people--for you!--promising them that they'll never be alone.
Oh, and I've seen many searching //For answers far and wide.
But I know we're all searching //For answers only You provide.
Because You know just what we need // Before we even say a word.
Can I just say "Wow!" That God knows what I need before I even know what I need...and that He answers it! Beyond that, He is the answer we're all searching for, whether or not we know where to look.
You're a good, good Father. // It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are.
And I'm loved by You. // It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am.
No matter what your relationship is with your earthly father, God is our Father and He loves us. He is not just a Father, but He is a good, good Father. He is so much more than that, however, and His identity surpasses any human label. But for us...we are loved by Him and that is all we ever need to be. When I am down, feeling alone or lacking confidence, this song reminds me that I am loved and that is enough.
Because You are perfect in all of Your ways to us!
Everything God has planned for us is perfect. That means complete. Whole. Flawless. It may seem hard and it may feel like God is against you or that He isn't fair or that He simply doesn't care. But the truth is this: His ways are higher than our ways, and though we cannot see them, they are perfect.
Oh, it's love so undeniable,//I can hardly speak.
Peace so unexplainable, //I can hardly think.
As You call me deeper still // into love, love, love ...
We can go as deep as we want into God's gifts of love and peace and never reach the limit and still be overwhelmed by it all. If you are going through a time that is not peaceful or that hurts you deeply, dwell on this: God's love and peace is deeper still than your troubles, and it is enough.
I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. You may want to put it on repeat and let the comfort sink it. Then share your thoughts and your favorite worship song in the comments and tune in tomorrow for another song!
Good Good Father
Oh, I've heard a thousand stories
Of what they think You're like.
But I've heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of night.
And You tell me that You're pleased
And that I'm never alone.
You're a good, good Father.
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are.
And I'm loved by You.
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am.
Oh, and I've seen many searching
For answers far and wide.
But I know we're all searching
For answers only You provide.
Because You know just what we need
Before we even say a word.
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
Because You are perfect in all of Your ways!
You are perfect in all of Your ways!
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us! (2x)
Oh, it's love so undeniable,
I can hardly speak.
Peace so unexplainable,
I can hardly think.
As You call me deeper still,
As You call me deeper still,
As You call me deeper still,
into love, love, love ...
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
