sometimes I read the bible and I forget the vastness of God, thinking He is as small as the pages I read, confined to a small leather bound book...
sorry for mentioning narnia again, but it's like how in Narnia, they look at the lion emblem on their flag or shield or whatever and they think Aslan is just the size of that emblem... forgetting the great, terrible Lion He is...
and i realise that when i have such a small view on God, i start leading my life wrong...
Nothing is right when my view on God is wrong.
so today... a beautiful picture taken by Jeremy that i think goes very very well with the following song by Christ Tomlin that reminds me that God is giganormous!!
-
Mountain maker
Ocean tamer
Glimpses of You
Burn in my eyes
The worship of heaven
Fills up the skies
You made it all
Said, "let there be"
And there was
All that we see
The sound of Your voice
The works of Your hands
You do all things well
You do all things well
You do all things well
Star creator
Wind breather
The strokes of Your beauty
Brushed through the clouds
Light from the heavens
Touching the ground
Imagination runs wild
And breathes the breath of life
Across the fields
Across the miles
so this is it
you know how
-
in life there are just some answers that can answer all questions.
so this is it
what is the meaning of Hosanna?
-
when i was a kid, i thought Hosanna was a girl's name.
like the girl version of Hosea or Hossan or something. haha.
actually...
orginally, Hosanna means Rescue Us! It is a desperate cry for saviour.
-
and i think it is beautifully demonstrated in this song:
Praise is rising, eyes are turning to You, we turn to You
Hope is stirring, hearts are yearning for You, we long for You
'Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day
In Your Pres- ence all our fears are washed away, washed away
Ho- san- na, ho- sanna
You are the God Who saves us, worthy of all our praises
Ho- san- na, ho- sanna
Come have Your way among us
We welcome You here, Lord Jesus
Hear the sound of hearts returning to You, we turn to You
In Your Kingdom broken lives are made new, You make us new
'Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day
In Your Pres- ence all our fears are washed away, washed away
Ho- san- na, ho- sanna
You are the God Who saves us, worthy of all our praises
Ho- san- na, ho- sanna
Come have Your way among us
We welcome You here, Lord Jesus
so this is it
Giver of every breathe I breathe
Author of all eternity
Giver of every perfect thing
To you be the glory
-
wow!!!
so this is it
2 of my favourite scenes:
Creation
Even before there was a drop in the ocean
Even before there was a star in the sky
Even before the world was put in motion
You were on Your throne, You were on Your throne
Even before Your hand made the heavens
Even before the breath of all mankind
Even before we had to be forgiven
You were on Your throne, You were on Your throne
Redemption
The glory of the blood
The beauty of the body
That was broken for our forgiveness
The glory of His perfect love
Is the heart of the story
The glory of the blood
-
that's why i love reading narnia.
creation and redemption described so beautifully...
i was created. and i was redeemed.

so this is it
I Believe
-
I believe you're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need...
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease
I trust in you, I trust in you
