Sovereign Lord

Oh Lord I lift Your name up
I worship You my King
For You are the Sovereign I Am
Deserving of all glory
All honour and all praise
For You are the Sovereign I Am

Sovereign Lord
Your ways are not my own
Your wisdom never ends
Sovereign Lord
You've created the heavens
Yet You call me Your friend

Your love reaches the heavens
Still You hold me when I'm weak
Your faithfulness is unending
For You reach the depths of me

Wow! What a lovely song - Sovereign Lord. In the third instalment of the "Go Fish" series by Andy Stanley, we hear of the spontaneous prayer of disciples in Acts 4 which started with "Sovereign Lord …" Yes the Sovereign Lord is the creator of all that I see and more. He is my Lord and I pledge my allegiance to him. How can I keep quiet, when even the birds sing of Him? When I grow weary and when fear has me by the throat, Jesus puts me on his shoulders and I squeal like a little boy being carried by his father. When I want to take control, He proudly stands behind me ready to catch me when I fall. He is my Sovereign Lord, my awesome Dad. No matter how many times I have let Him down, he has never left my side. Now I want the world to know that the Sovereign God wants to be your friend too.

Enable me oh Sovereign God, to speak your Word with boldness
