The God You Are

As we delve into the lyrics of "The God You Are" by Worship Together, we are reminded of the steadfast love and faithfulness of God. The song beautifully encapsulates the essence of God's character - His faithfulness, kindness, goodness, patience, grace, and mercy. It's a testament to the unwavering love of God that carries us through every season of life, through every storm, and every change.

The lyrics echo the sentiments expressed in Lamentations 3:22-23, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." This verse resonates with the chorus of the song, where the singer acknowledges God's faithfulness, kindness, and goodness throughout their life. The song and the verse both emphasize the constancy of God's love and mercy, which are renewed every day and never cease.

Similarly, the bridge of the song, "You brought me this far, and I know You'll see me through," aligns with the promise found in Philippians 1:6, "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." This verse assures us that God, who has started a good work in us, will see it through to the end. It's a promise that God will not abandon us midway but will carry us through to the end, just as the song affirms.

The song and these verses together paint a picture of a God who is not only loving and merciful but also faithful and reliable. They remind us that God's love is not conditional or fleeting, but steadfast and enduring. They assure us that even in the midst of change and uncertainty, God's love remains constant and His promises are sure.

As we reflect on these truths, let's ask ourselves: How have we experienced God's faithfulness, kindness, and goodness in our lives? How has His love carried us through different seasons? And how can we rely on Him more in our daily lives? 

This song and these verses invite us to not only acknowledge God's character but also to respond to it by trusting Him more, by relying on Him in every situation, and by proclaiming His goodness and faithfulness to others. They challenge us to not just sing about God's love, but to live in the light of it, to let it shape our lives and our relationships, and to let it inspire us to love and serve others with the same steadfastness and faithfulness. 

So, as we listen to this song and read these verses, let's allow them to stir our hearts, to deepen our faith, and to inspire us to live more fully in the light of God's steadfast love and faithfulness.
