How Great is our God?

Gotta keep this short...meeting w/ Beth to set up for the Bridal Expo tomorrow. If you think to...pray for us to have a successful first attempt at an Expo- and pray that I don't freak out at leaving my loverbucket all day!!! (He's in good hands though, aunt Tori is watching him!)

How Great is our God?

I have sang this song countless times at church. I've closed my eyes. I've raised my hands. But yesterday- this song just meant something more to me.

Michael and Heidi Gray are great friends of ours. They have been trying for several years to get pregnant. Recently they were presented with an opportunity to adopt a baby boy. His mother is 17 years old. I can't imagine putting my baby up for adoption- but at 17, when you're still learning to be an "adult" and learning responsibility and having teenaged hormotional issues... the decision must be that much more confusing. The Gray's have been in Utah for the past couple of weeks- anxiously awaiting the birth of their son. The birthmother was to have 24 hours after the birth before handing over the child to his new parents. Things didn't exactly go as planned. There were many many many people who prayed that this young girl would make the right decision to give up her rights and allow the Gray's to be the parents to this little boy that God intended them to be. Praise God that she did. To read the story in it's not rushed form...and to see pictures of little Harrison Michael Gray...go to Heidi's or Michael's blog. How great is our God? The God of perfect timing. The God who knew us before time. The God who loves. The God who answers prayers.

The splendor of a King,
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice,
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light,
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice,
And trembles at his voice

How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
and all will see
How great,
How great
Is our God

Age to age he stands
And time is in His Hands
Beginning and the End,
Beginning and the End
The Godhead, Three in one
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb,
The Lion and the Lamb

Name above all names
You are Worthy of all praise
and My heart will sing how great
Is our God
