Remodel

You cannot do a new thing until the old one is passed away. We're in the middle of a remodeling project and I can see how it would be easy to get discouraged, especially when I look at the mess -- right now it's a pile of rubble in the middle of my living room! But if we focus on the end result and press forward, keeping our eye on what lies ahead, then I think we can make it.

In the same way, I believe God is shaking us up. I think He's working on the perfect remodel, molding us into the image of Christ. It's messy. It takes time and there is certainly a lot of dust and dirt, and even some uncertainty.

But take heart and be of good cheer, because out of the ashes (and dust and debris) we will rise! There is NO ONE like OUR GOD!


Our God, Chris Tomlin:

Water You turned into wine
Open the eyes of the blind
There’s no one like You
None like You
Into the darkness You shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There’s no one like You
None like You

CHORUS

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God…

Into the darkness you shining

Out of the ashes we Rise
There’s no One like You
None like You.

Our God is greater, our God is stronger

God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God…
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God…

BRIDGE

And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
What can stand against?

Our God is greater, our God is stronger

God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God…
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God…
