Lord of all.

my last post was sad and lonely but also completely honest. as i expected though, i already feel right back at home in auburn. tonight, i got to go to ONE, the college service at church of the highlands, for the first time in wayy too long. it was exactly what i needed. i always get so fired up for the Lord when i'm there, and tonight was no exception. especially because we closed with this song, "Lord of All", by Kristian Stanfill. i highly highly recommend listening to it, but the lyrics themselves are wonderfully powerful on their own.

wonder and awe surround you, Lord,
and glory and fire light Your way.
day after day the heavens proclaim the beauty of the Holy One.
we will respond with joy in our song.
Your enemies rise, Your enemies fall.
Your fire consumes them all.

because there is none so high and holy.
King of Kings, the one and only.
You are adored, You are the Lord of all.

mysteries unknown are known to You.
all wisdom is Yours to reveal.
You hold in Your hand the days of all men.
all life and breath are Yours to give.
we will respond with joy in our song.
Your enemies rise, Your enemies fall.
Your fire consumes them all.

we adore You,
we adore You.
Lord of all the earth,
Lord, we love You.
Lord, we love You.
let our hearts be pure.

You are adored,
You are the Lord.
You are adored,
You are the Lord of all.


when we sang this song, i felt small- in the best way possible. here i was, in the middle of this giant room, worshipping with 300 other students, and i knew that God was listening to me. He heard every note i sang, every emotion i felt. this song describes how i want to be with God. after tonight, i'm going to strive to be a living example of this song. i hope it compels you to draw closer to Him in whatever way you're called to do so.
