Over the past week I’ve seen God move in many people, sometimes in people I know well, other times in people who have no idea I’m watching, and even in myself. Greatness Of Our God (2019) by Newsboys United* is what I’ve been listening to this week, and it has reminded me that God is always at work and He reigns.
First off, I feel I need to address the asterisk. I’ll give a better description at the bottom, so here I’ll just sum up. I’m not sure if I need ‘United’ to differentiate this from Newsboys.
I was so excited to hear about a Newsboys mix of old members and current members. I wanted to hear this song straight away, but when I did, I didn’t quite know what to think. It sounds like Newsboys, but which one? I’ve separated Newsboys into two separate eras, the Peter Furler era, and the Michael Tait era. But this song has both! I’m not sure I can handle it!
From the dawn of creation,
This world has been crying out for hope,
For a hero to save us,
We long for the supernatural,
But there is only one God,
Who can save the day,
So clear the stage,
Prepare the way,
Cause Heaven and Earth are singing,
Glory, Hallelujah,
Let the whole world see…
The greatness of our God,
In awesome wonder,
He reigns forever,
We know, the greatness of our God,
His power is endless,
He lives within us,
We know, the greatness of our God,
I find it easy to get overwhelmed with ideas and new ways to do things, but I’m finding God keeps pulling me back and reminding me it’s not about what you do or how much you do, it’s all about God. It’s all about what He has done through Christ.
There’s no one above Him,
Only our Saviour wears the crown,
There’s none who can stop Him,
Not even the grave can hold Him down,
We stand in awe and wonder,
All the honour is yours,
Jesus.
Greatness Of Our God – Newsboys United*
*I’m not sure if they’re using ‘United’ officially. This song is done by the present Newsboys members and a few past members. I’ve seen ‘United’ used as a way to distinguish this group as combining current and former Newsboys members, but ‘United’ isn’t always there.
