God of this city

About a week and a half ago, Carina told me about the song "God of this city" by Blue Tree. I think that I have listened to it every day since then. The lyrics read:

You're the God of this city
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You Are

For there is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things are still to come
And greater things are still to be done here

You're the Lord of Creation
The Creator of all things
You're the King above all Kings
You Are

You're the strength in our weakness
You're the love to the broken
You're the joy in the sadness
You Are

Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Where glory shines from hearts alive
With praise for you and love for you
In this city

This song was written about Belfast, Ireland. I think one of the reasons why I like it so much is that I have two friends who will be living in Belfast this next school year. Although this song was written with Belfast in mind, I think that it applies to our cities too. God is alive and working in them. He wants His glory to shine, His praise to be sung, and His love to show.

He is the God of this city and He is the God of my life.
