The Same God

Song by Lilly Goodman

That you heal the hurt;
and you give the blind man sight;
that you teach how to forgive;
I have heard all of those things and more…

That you help the fallen and give him words of faith;
that in you, people find peace;
all those rumors I have already heard…

And today, here you see me;
after so much searching, I found you;
and while bowing to your feet,
I confirmed what I had heard about you:

You are the God that transforms lives and
you give a way out when one prays with faith;
that God that breaks chains and the heart fills if you open it to him.
The God who says all things have changed and been made new;
the God that does miracles bigger than the ones He did yesterday.
The God that I want to adore and more than honor–
It is a pleasure to know you.

That you give hope and can change tears for a smile and more,
I read that somewhere…
That you calm the storm and can divide the sea,
I thought they had exaggerated,
but today, I see it is true.

And today, here you see me,
after so much searching, I found you,
and while bowing to your feet,
I confirmed what I had heard about you:

You are the God that transforms lives and
you give a way out when one prays with faith,
that God that breaks chains and the heart fills if you open it to him.
The God who says all things have changed and been made new;
the God that does miracles bigger than the ones He did yesterday.
The God that I want to adore and more than honor–
It is a pleasure to know you.
