God Of This City

You're the God of this city
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You are
You're the light in this darkness
You're the hope to the hopeless
You're the peace to the restless
You are
For there is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
Greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done in this city
Greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done here

I've been hearing bits and pieces of this song lately, I don't remember exactly when or where, however when I heard the story of it's lyrics I was immediately taken. I don't want to mess up the story so check out this interview of the band Bluetree.
The song has been recorded by Chris Tomlin, but check out the Belfast version by Bluetree.

Good stuff. I mean you think about all the s*#t that had gone down in places like Belfast and it's amazing to think that God is still the God of places like this, with all their beauty and all their horror tied together. Good stuff.
