He is greater and mightier and more loving and more gracious than human words could possibly write.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So I love Lincoln Brewster\u2019s decision to write about God\u2019s amazingness with this thought in mind. God is more than amazing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I agree! My human brain isn\u2019t capable of understanding and comprehending all the amazing things God has done for mankind. From the beginning, God has pursued mankind to have a closer walk with Him. To have a deeper relationship with Him. And throughout the ages, mankind has rejected God\u2019s advances.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But God has never given up. He continues to pursue. Now that is <em>more<\/em> than amazing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re like me, you know the mistakes and sins you\u2019ve allowed to penetrate your heart and life. You also know the joy of being drawn back by your Creator. And why does God do all this pursuing? Because He loves you and me! It\u2019s that simple. He loves us. And that in itself is definitely more than amazing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, today as you read through these lyrics and listen to the song, I pray that you will be overwhelmed by the amazingness of your God. I pray that you will allow the pursuer to capture your heart. I pray that you will rejoice in the One who rejoices over you. I\u2019m sure at the end of the day you too will say, God is \u201cMore Than Amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore Than Amazing\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re the one who walked on water<br \/>\nAnd you calmed the raging seas<br \/>\nYou command the highest mountains<br \/>\nto fall upon their knees<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re the one who welcomed sinners<br \/>\nAnd you opened blinded eyes<br \/>\nYou restored the brokenhearted<br \/>\nAnd you brought the dead to life<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Forgetting all our sins<br \/>\nYou remember all your promises<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chorus:<br \/>\nYou are amazing<br \/>\nMore than amazing<br \/>\nForever our God<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re more than enough<br \/>\nYou are amazing<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With authority you&#8217;ve spoken<br \/>\nAnd you&#8217;ve set the captive free<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re the king who came to serve<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re the God who washed our feet<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re the one who took our burdens<br \/>\nAnd you bled upon the cross<br \/>\nIn your kindness and your mercy<br \/>\nYou became the way for us<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Forgetting all our sins<br \/>\nYou remember all your promises<\/p>\n<p>(Chorus)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Oh how marvelous<br \/>\nOh how wonderful<br \/>\nOh how glorious<br \/>\nYou are amazing<br \/>\nOh how marvelous<br \/>\nOh how wonderful<br \/>\nOh how glorious You are<\/p>\n<p>(Chorus)<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O3gbJGByIOE\">here <\/a>to listen to Lincoln Brewster sing this beautiful worship song.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Donna<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> \u201cMore Than Amazing,\u201d Words and Music by Lincoln Brewster and Mia Fieldes, Integrity\u2019s Praise Music and Mia Fieldes\/Shout Music, 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I surely enjoy sharing music with you on Monday mornings.
