Our God is in Control

Our God is in Control
By Steven Curtis Chapman

This is not how it should be.
This is not how it could be.
But this is how it is.

And our God is in control.

This is not how it will be
When we finally will see
We'll see with our own eyes
He was always in control

And we will sing holy, holy, holy is our God.
We will finally really understand what it means
So we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God.
Waiting for that day

This is not where we planned to be
when we started this journey
But this is where we are
And our God is in control

Though this first taste is bitter
There will be sweetness forever
When we finally taste and see
that our God is in control

And we will sing holy, holy, holy is our God.
We will finally really understand what it means
So we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God.
Waiting for that day

From the Word

Colossians 1:21-23, ESV

21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.



Philippians 2:1-11, ESV

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
