My City

In light of recent events, I am torn emotionally for my city. I am saddened and embarrassed by the reactions of violence and destruction. I am overwhelmed with compassion for the affected communities. I am inspired to help those afflicted by this escalating tragedy of events. I have this internal cry in my soul that longs for peace in my city. In the midst of all these emotions, I am reminded that my heart does not yearn the most for this city, because ultimately, at the end of the day, this city isn't mine, it belongs to God. In praying for this city of Saint Louis in all its current struggles, I was reminded of this song. (listen/watch here; lyrics listed below found here)

                                                                   "God of This City"
                                                                 

You're the God of this City
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You are

[Verse 2]
You're the Light in this darkness
You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless
You are

There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

[Chorus]
For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater thing have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City

[Verse 1]

[Verse 2]

There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

[Chorus]
For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here

There is no one like our god
There is no one like our God

[Chorus]
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here
