Anthem 09-22-13 God and God Alone

[Josh]

This Sunday we will sing “God and God Alone”!  This powerful ballad boldly declares that God alone is worthy of all praise, honor and glory.  Though the words are simple the message is profound.  Take a moment to read these words slowly and reflect on the morsels of truth in each stanza.

 

God and God alone created all these things we call our own.

From the mighty to the small the Glory in them all is God’s and God’s alone.

 

God and God alone is fit to take the universe’s throne.

Let everything that lives reserve its truest praise for God and God alone.

 

God and God alone reveals the truth of all we call unknown

And the best and worst of  man won’t change the Master’s plan.  It’s God’s and God’s alone.

 

God and God alone will be the joy of our eternal home.

He will be our one desire.  Our hearts will never tire of God and God alone.

 

Selected verses from Psalm 62 (The Message translation)

God, the one and only – I’ll wait as long as he says.  Everything I need comes from him, so why not?  He’s solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul.  My help and glory are in God – granite-strength and safe-harbor-God – So trust him absolutely, people; lay your lives on the line for him.  God is a safe place to be. 

 

 

"Sing"-cerely,
