Our God Reigns

I first heard this song sung live by Martin Smith and the Delirious? team- at the hillsongs conference this year. I was just as amazed by the significance of the lyrics as by Martin Smith's captivating voice. (He has nice eyes too)

Our God Reigns

40 million babies lost to Gods great orphanage,
It’s a modern day genocide and a modern day disgrace
If this is a human right then why aren’t we free?
The only freedom we have is in a man nailed to a tree.

100 million faces, staring at the sky,
Wondering if this HIV will ever pass us by.
The devil stole the rain and hope trickles down the plug,
But still my Chinese take away could pay for someone’s drugs.

Our God reigns, Our God reigns,
Forever your kingdom reigns.

The west has found a gun and it’s loaded with ‘unsure’
Nip and tuck if you have the bucks in a race to find a cure.
Psalm one hundred and thirty nine is the conscience to our selfish crime,
God didn’t screw up when he made you,
He’s a father who loves to parade you.

Yes he reigns, yes you reign, yes you reign,
For there is only one true God,
But we’ve lost the reins on this world,
Forgive us all, forgive us please,
As we fight for this broken world on our knees.

-Delirious? 2005, Album: The Mission Bell

I think Compassion's vision and motto "Change the world, One Child at a time" is very appropriate for teachers and anyone in the education sector. We have that power and influence to touch and change lives... use it for His glory.
