We have recently introduced Phil Wickham’s song ‘Great Things’ into our services at church. This song has been a favourite of ours since its release in 2018 and my older granddaughter particularly loves it. From the first time she heard it, she has sung along happily to the song, and we discovered that perhaps one reason she liked it so much was that she took it very personally. One of the lines in the song says, ‘You’ll be faithful forevermore,’ but Esther at two used to sing ‘You’ll be faithful for Ezzie more‘ (her nickname being Ezzie.) I rather liked this personalisation – and it’s true; God is faithful to us all individually!
Today, as we go to Phoenix Park in Thurnscoe for the first of our Jubilee celebrations and hopefully have a great day of fun activities celebrating not only the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee but the fact that our God is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and will reign forevermore, the lyrics of the song remain on our lips:
You’ll be faithful forevermore
You have done great things
And I know You will do it again
For Your promise is “Yes and amen”
You will do great things
God, You do great things
You free every captive and break every chain
Oh God, You have done great things.
We dance in Your freedom, awake and alive,
Oh Jesus, our Saviuor, Your name lifted high
Oh God, You have done great things.’ (‘Great Things’, Phil Wickham & Jonas Myrin)
