This Is Our God

Last week I picked up the Chris Tomlin live CD and I've really been enjoying it. One song in particular has been a blessing, This Is Our God, a duet with David Crowder on this CD.

Consider these verses:
A refuge for the poor, a shelter from the storm - this is our God
He will wipe away your tears, return your wasted years - this is our God
A father to the orphan, a healer to the broken - this is our God
He brings peace to our madness and comfort to our sadness - this is our God
A fountain for the thirsty, a lover of the lonely - this is our God
He brings glory to the humble and crowns for the faithful - this is our God

These verses are interwoven around a chorus that proclaims:
This is the one we have waited for - Jesus, Lord and Savior - this is our God

I especially like the ad-lib part that David Crowder adds in: we are waiting... for You, for You on the latter choruses and the way the chorus changes from this is the one we've been waiting for to You are the one we've been waiting for as the song nears the end.

I've come to experience Jesus as all of these things at one point or another in my life. This song stirs those memories and my love for Him. My prayer is that you will discover Him to be all of these things - to be the One you've been waiting for.
