This is Our God

So, I am not in the choir mostly because I am busy when they do their thing. I am in the nursery on Wednesdays when they practice and sitting with my 2 older children during the worship service when they sing (Troy is busying being a bouncer...uh, I mean greeter/seater for those who come in after the worship service has started). But I love to sing and lead worship at our women's events so our music dude, David, asked me to sing in the Christmas Cantata. He bent over backwards to include me so of course I said yes. I have enjoyed the experience. It is has been nice to spend a little bit of time with some people I don't normally hang out with and singing with this choir is a joy because so many of them genuinely worship as they are singing.
My favorite part has been the music. Some of the songs were fun and some beautiful but a few were moving. One stood out. It is beautiful musically but the words are profound. I love it and wanted to share it with you.

This is Our God

Who is this Child asleep in the manger,
tender and mild, this intimate Stranger?
Recklessly, wildly, loving a dangerous world.
Who is this Light invading our darkness?
Glorious might His Son rising for us,
conquering might, He captures the hardest of hearts.
We sing

This is our God, living and breathing,
call Him courageous, relentless and brave
This is our God, loving and reaching
offering mercy and mighty to save.
Hallelujah, this is our God! Hallelujah, this is our God!
Hallelujah, this is our God! Sing praise. Sing praise.

Who is this One who will not condemn us?
Why would He come to shoulder our sentence?
Nothing we've done will keep Him from giving us grace.
Who is this One? We watch and we're speechless.
God's only son, embracing our weakness.
He overcomes all death and He frees us live.
We sing

This is our God, suffering and dying.
Call Him the hero redeeming the lost.
This is our God, Love sacrificing
all that is holy, accepting our cross.
Hallelujah, this is our God! Hallelujah, this is our God!
Hallelujah, this is our God! Sing praise. Sing praise.
