This week’s featured song story comes to us from We Are Messengers. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “God You Are.”
“Jesus in His humanity delighted in joy. And He surely delights in ours and the abundant life He’s promised us. But He through His great sacrifice on the cross has also demonstrated that He’s shared in our sorrows and has completely removed every obstacle that would keep us from God. We’ve all drifted pretty far from His shore at times and all needed rescue. His salvation is the port and Jesus is the vessel that rescues us from the wild seas of separation from God.” – Darren Mulligan (We Are Messengers)

“God You Are” Lyrics
Verse 1
When I was young
You called my name
I tried to run but still You came
And You stepped into the dark
Cause that’s just
The kind of God You are
Verse 2
When Heaven seems beyond
My reach
You still see eternity in me
You’re turning ashes into art
Cause that’s just
The kind of God You are
Chorus
It’s in the empty tomb
It’s on the rugged cross
Your death defying love
Is written in Your scars
You’ll never quit on me
You’ll always hold my heart
Cause that’s the kind of God
You are
Verse 3
You gave me freedom from my sin
You told me I could start again
All the hurt is dead and gone
Now we’re Your daughters
And Your sons
Verse 4
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
We once were lost
But now we’re found
Forever You hold us in Your arms
Cause that’s just
The kind of God You are
Chorus
It’s in the empty tomb
It’s on the rugged Cross
Your death defying love
Is written in Your scars
You’ll never quit on me
You’ll always hold my heart
Cause that’s the kind of God
You are
Bridge 1
You are holy
Holy holy
High and set apart
Bridge 2
You are holy
Holy holy
God that’s who You are
Bridge 1
You are holy
Holy holy
High and set apart
Bridge 2
Holy
Holy holy
God that’s who You are
Chorus
It’s in the empty tomb
It’s on the rugged Cross
Your death defying love
Is written in Your scars
You’ll never quit on me
You’ll always hold my heart
Cause that’s the kind of God
You are
Verse 1
When I was young
You called my name
I tried to run but still You came
And You stepped into the dark
Cause that’s just
The kind of God You are
