One of the main themes of the Big Birthday Bash craft activities is to look at the different names of God. He is so amazing that each name gives us a glimpse into His character: thus, He is our Rock, our Fortress, our Saviour, the Beginning and the End, the Good Shepherd and the Resurrection and the Life, to name just a few!
Ali Thomas, the art teacher at Hope House School, kindly made us a tower to remind us of the fact that God is a strong tower (see Prov 18:10, Ps 61:3), decorated with lyrics from Rend Collective’s song ‘Strength of My Heart’ which looks at some of the names of God:
‘Jesus, my soul is fearless
For You are with us
Fighting for us.
In the valley of shadows
You are still with us
Fighting for us.
My Defender,
You are invincible.
My Strong Tower,
You are unshakeable.
Mighty Saviour,
Your love’s unbreakable.
You’re the strength of my heart
You’re the strength of my heart
You’re the strength of my heart
You’re the strength of my heart
Stronger than any weakness
You are my fortress
You are for us.
Yes, You’re reigning forever
Ruling in power
You are for us,
You are for us.
Your love is holding on;
Your love is holding on.
Through every valley
When life has failed me
You hold on.’ (‘Strength of My Heart’, Rend Collective)
