Then Sings My Soul - Yours



Today's selection is Yours by Steven Curtis Chapman for a couple of reasons:

1. This song speaks to the missions heart of me. This world is God's. He cries for every person on this planet. He created them and they are His children. They are HIS. We are HIS - We are YOURS God.

2. This a reminder to me today and through this challenge my family is going through that we are HIS. He cares about every hair on our head, every worry thought that crosses our mind. We don't have to worry because He has a plan and a purpose. It is not to harm us. He will not give us more than we can bear even when we may feel like we are at our darkest hour. We have seen it in our lives and we know it is true. We are YOURS God.

3. The Chapman family has been all over the press this past couple of weeks trying to tell of their family's faith in something they do not understand. God is in control and they may never understand what is going on, but God is faithful and their obident hearts to tell the world where their strength comes from will be honored. God is doing something so big that the Chapman family may never truly comprehend it's reaches to the farthest places until they see arrive in heaven. I just know that God is doing something so big through the Chapman family. The Chapman Family is YOURS God!



YOURS LYRICS WITH NEW VERSE
I walk the streets of London
And notice in the faces passing by
Somthing that makes me stop and listen
My heart grows heavy with the cry

Where is the hope for London?
You whisper and my heart begins to soar
As I'm reminded
That every street in London in Yours
Oh, yes it is

I walk the dirt roads of Uganda
I see the scars that war has left behind
Hope like the sun is fading
They're waiting for a cure no one can find

And I hear children's voices singing
Of a God who heals and rescues and restores
And I'm reminded
That every child in Africa is Yours

And its all Yours, God, Yours, God
Everything is Yours
From the stars in the sky
To the depths of the ocean floor
And its all Yours, God, Yours, God
Everything is Yours
You're the Maker and Keeper, Father and Ruler of everything
It's all Yours

And I walk the sidewalks of Nashville
Like Singapore, Manila and Shanghai
I rush by the beggar's hand and the wealthy man
And everywhere I look I realize

That just like the streets of London
For every man and woman, boy and girl
All of creation
This is our Father's world

And its all Yours, God, Yours, God
Everything is Yours
From the stars in the sky
To the depths of the ocean floor
And its all Yours, God, Yours, God
Everything is Yours
You're the Maker and Keeper, Father and Ruler of everything

It's all Yours, God
It's all Yours, God
It's all Yours, God
It's all Yours, God

The glory is Yours, God
All the honor is Yours, God
The power is Yours, God
The glory is Yours, God

You're the King of Kings
And Lord of Lords

NEW VERSE
I’ve walked the valley of death’s shadow
So deep and dark that I could barely breathe
I’ve had to let go of more than I could bear
And questioned everything that I believe
But still even here
in this great darkness
A comfort and hope come breaking through
As I can say in life or death
God we belong to you.

And its all Yours, God, Yours, God
Everything is Yours
From the stars in the sky
To the depths of the ocean floor
And its all Yours, God, Yours, God
Everything is Yours
All the greatness and power, the glory and splendor and majesty
Everything is Yours
Yeah, it's all Yours
We are Yours
The glory and honor is Yours, everything is Yours

It's all Yours, God
My life is Yours, my heart is Yours
My hands and my feet are Yours
Every song that I sing
It's all Yours, all is Yours
All belongs to You
Our gifts are Yours, God
All our dreams are Yours, God
All our plans are Yours, God
The whole earth is Yours, God
Everything is Yours

This is one of my favorite SCC songs. In our human condition we forget that we all belong to the Lord, all of us, everywhere.

I love this song and the new verse he added. It reminds me of one of the TSMS videos that someone posted today (I've seen so many I can't remember which one)....but it was a black light drama of gloved hands and they spelled out the word...YOURS.
