God of Chattanooga

I am sitting here in my office and God just spoke directly to me! No, not like that...but through a song. As I lead at the BX and the Gathering, God allows me to rub shoulders with literally thousands of people who do not know him yet. Now in generations past (even recent ones) we could just gathering them all up and have a preacher preach heaven is sweet and hell is hot and many would receive the grace that God offers. But these days people seem harder, more religious but callous and uncaring. I know this may seem harsh but I wonder some times if there is still hope for Chattanooga. Is it so religious that people can't find God? Can God really move in Chattanooga to the point that we move from being known for our volunteer and non-profit efforts to being known for our love for Christ?

Then I heard this song and cried..."greater things are still to be done in this city"!

You’re the God of this city
You’re the King of these people
You’re the Lord of this nation
You are

You’re the light in this darkness
You’re the hope to the hopeless
You’re the peace to the restless
You are

For there is no-one like our God
There is no-one like our God

Greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done
In this city

Greater things have yet to come
And greater things have still to be done here

You’re the Lord of Creation
The Creator of all things
You’re the King above all Kings
You are

You’re the strength in our weakness
You’re the love to the broken
You’re the joy in the sadness
You are

For there is no-one like our God
There is no-one like our God

Greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done
In this city

Greater things have yet to come
And greater things have still to be done here
