Lyrical Friday - This Is Our God

Happy Friday to You! 

This is our God by Chris Tomlin is one of those songs... You know what I mean, you hear the first few lines and your heart is overcome with a million emotions. I remember the first time I heard these lyrics, it was as if a vicious wave had picked me right off my feet and tossed me around. It became an anthem of all God had done in my life yet at the same time it hung as a banner for all that He has promised to complete. More than a song, it was a prayer for those who have yet to know the depths of His power and love. By the time the worship band had finished, I was found on the "shore line" almost breathless at the wonders of my God. It is my prayer, as it was that very night, that you would know the depths of His power and love. This is our God.

This is Our God, Chris Tomlin 


The refuge for the poor
A shelter from the storm
This is our God

He will wipe away your tears 
And return your wasted years
This is our God

So call upon His Name
He is mighty to save
This is our God

A father to the orphan 
A healer to the broken
This is our God

And He brings peace to our madness 
And comfort in our sadness
This is our God
This is our God

So call upon His name
He is mighty to save
This Is Our God

This is/You are the one we have waited for
This is/You are the one we have waited for
This is/You are the one we have waited for
Jesus, Lord and Savior
This is our God

A fountain for the thirsty
A lover for the lonely
This is our God

He brings glory to the humble 
And crowns for the faithful
This is our God
