The Great Shema

Deuteronomy 6:4 says, "Hear O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!"

Today I've the following song playing through my head. After reading the beginning of my textbook for World Religions class, this song comes as a welcome reminder of who my God is. I am so glad He choose to love me!


YOU ARE GOD ALONE
by Phillips, Craig, and Dean

You are not a god
Created by human hands
You are not a god
Dependant on any mortal man
You are not a god
In need of anything we can give
By Your plan, thats just the way it is

Chorus:
You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
You are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne

You are God alone

Youre the only God
Whose power none can contend
Youre the only God
Whose name and praise will never end
Youre the only God
Whos worthy of everything we can give
You are God
And thats just the way it is

Bridge:
Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
Thats what You are

That a neat song! I'd never seen (or heard...) it before.

Our church sings it once or twice a month. It is one of the more substantial contemporary songs and God-directed rather than man-directed. To think that we will look upon that glory one day.

If you had been in our church Dec.30th, you could have heard and sung "You are God Alone". And as a bonus you would have heard Curtis speak about translation work in Cameroon. Yes, it took this long for schedules to work out for him to report in our church.
