Be Unto Your Name

We are a moment You are forever

Lord of the ages God before time

We are a vapor You are eternal

Love everlasting reigning on high

We are the broken You are the healer

Jesus Redeemer mighty to save

You are the love song we'll sing forever

Bowing before You blessing Your name

CHORUS

Holy holy Lord God Almighty

Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain

Highest praises honor and glory

Be unto Your name

Be unto Your name

I have always loved this worship song. I first heard it on Robin Mark's Revival in Belfast CD. A beautiful love song for the Creator of the Universe.

It became even more precious to me when I was going through a very dark time in my life (see Inscrutable below). Our worship pastor, who was new to our church at the time, played it at a ladies' meeting. The words, "We are the broken, You are the healer," touched me in the very depths of my heart. God used it to show me that I would not always feel so broken and alone, that the darkness would sometime lift.

I love the way He uses simple, daily things to touch our hearts and change us. And I love the way He directs our thoughts toward tools which will help us in our growth. A few weeks ago I suddenly knew that I had to read The Lord of the Rings. I have never read this book before (although I read The Hobbit when I was a kid). It was just one of those God-thoughts. And this book has opened a whole new realm in my heart. I am savouring each page...and there are 1349 of them to savour!!

He is a good God, weaving the details of our lives into a beautiful whole. He is the love song we'll sing forever, bowing before Him, blessing His name.
