God of this City: The Story Behind the Song
Posted September 18th, 2009 @ 12:47 am by | | PrintFiled Under Food for Thought
You’ve probably heard the story behind the favored old hymn, It is Well. Horatio Spafford’s lyrics inspire us still because they are part of a larger story. Knowing the bigger story gives context and new meaning.
The song God of this City took up a place in my soul the very first time I heard it. It’s words are true, but their reality is not always evident, though I long for the world to know the God who reigns without politics, polls or pundits. So, if you’re tired of the news (it’s depressing) or sick of feeling helpless (it’s tiring) or just need a moment to look into eternity’s story, click on the video below and remember when God asked, “Is anything to hard for the Lord?” (Gen. 18:14)
What about your city? Is anything too hard for the Lord?
