Eternal
words by Brett Allen and Sean Taylor
music by Brett Allen
Get out your watercolors
And paint a picture
To show the world
That You're eternal
Sing out a melody
Whistle in the windsong
Sing it through the trees
To say that You're eternal
May You be glorified
Jesus, You are the Lord of our Lives
May You be glorified
Jesus, You are the Lord of our LivesMay You be glorified
Jesus, You are the Lord of our Lives
Bring out the words of power
Make the rocks start shouting
Give us willing ears
To learn that You're eternal

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning
with God. All things were made by him; and without him
was not any thing made that was made. In him was life;
and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in
darkness; and the darkness comprehendeda it not.
John 1:1-5 (KJV)
God's
such a big God, with all those "omni" words that describe him (like
omniscient, omnipresent, etc.) that he doesn't really need our help to
make the world realize he's there. The universe itself is enough to get
the point across to those with ears to hear and eyes to see.
Even
a quick look through his "tool kit" will show that he's got so many
ways to draw attention to himself. Scripture not only tell us about the
physical creation that he pronounced good, but also points to his power
to touch both the lives of people in groups (as with Israel and the
covenant he made with his chosen people) and individuals (his sheep
know his name, we are told).
As
believers, we tend to get bogged down in arguing about God and trying
to dissect all the knowledge we can about him and so often fail to just
enjoy his presence and love him and -- even more important -- be loved
by him. We get wrapped up in the "what we're doing" and "what we know"
parts of faith and completely sidestep the basis of that faith -- the
very knowable, very experiential, very close and very real person of God.
Our
job is simply to acknowledge him, worship him and bring glory to him
through our lives. Personally, I rather do the shouting myself and not
even give the rocks an opportunity.
