God of Wonders.
i love this song.
it brings back memories of YWAM and my missions trip to Victoria BC - where we got the privilege of spending time and ministering to the first nations people. :) i remember being in training in Vancouver and learning this song for the very first time. it was awesome. being in that room, surrounding by brothers and sisters in Christ from other parts of Canada and the States and just being united in prayer and worship. i remember the silent service. it was something alright. we went into the room where we did our worship and meetings and stuff and we were told not to say a word. the workers had set up a cross in the front of the room, and draped a red cloth over the two "arms". God of Wonders was actually the first song to be played during that service. it was really...something that i can't even begin to describe. a very memorable moment. the whole missions trip was memorable...but that was definitely an event that will stick out and be engraved in my mind forever. i also remember that when i came home from BC i happened to pick up my City on a Hill CD. the very first song was God of Wonders and it was the same version that they had played during the silent service. i remember standing there in my living room, listening to my CD and just being so overwhelmed - i leaned on our piano and started to cry. i didn't know what else to do. i loved every minute of Victoria and Vancouver. it was an awesome experience in all aspects.
i actually haven't thought of BC in a long time. i think of the province every so often (when i hear that people are from it) but i haven't really thought of the kids there for a while. or the people of the Pacheedaht tribe. i'm going to pray for them tonight. i remember my heart breaking for them when i boarded the plane to fly back to Toronto. i couldn't stop crying as we departed from Vancouver. it was wierd. so much potential in those kids...i couldn't stop thinking about them when i arrived here. i couldn't stop thinking how fortunate i was to be where i was and it took time to adjust (there was more of a culture shock coming back here, then going there) but things eventually went back to the way they were and just like that, things were back to normal. it's sad. how one can be so impacted by something one minute and then the next, they forget.
all these memories coming back because of one song. thank You Lord, for helping me remember once again.
Lord of all creation
of water earth and sky
heavens are Your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on High
God of Wonders beyond our galaxy,
You are Holy, holy
the universe declares You majesty
You are Holy, Holy
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
and when I stumble in the darkness
I will call Your name by night
Hallelujiah, to the Lord of Heaven and Earth
Hallelujiah, to the Lord of Heaven and Earth
