Often on mission our two-pronged approach at church services is preaching the gospel and personal testimony. On Sunday at Eastwood, Nate powerfully combined both of these elements with a song he wrote about God’s providence.
Nate penned this tune for his Doctrine 2 assignment last year and it was great to see his labours bring such encouragement and conviction to those at the services.
Personally, I thought Nate was just a funny bloke who belted tennis balls all over the College grounds during lunchtimes. So it was awesome to see how mission brings out the full gamut of our gifts as we seek to use as many means as possible to win some for Christ.
Check out a sample of Nate wowing the crowds below and his full lyrics too.
Father in heaven we trust that in everything
You work together for good
Beyond comprehension divine intervention
You govern as only you could
And oh what a mystery that all of our history
Is guided by your perfect plan
Even in troubled times we learn to recognise
Discipline comes from your hand
You are The Lord over it all
Nothing’s beyond your control
Father in heaven we trust that in everything
You mould us to be like your Son
And from our redemption to final perfection
You’ve lavished upon us your love
You join us together with Christ as the head and the
body the church as his bride
And what you have started will not be discarded
but finished in your perfect time
You are The Lord over it all
Nothing’s beyond your control
Father in heaven we trust that in everything
You never slumber or sleep
Constantly watching and pow’rfully sustaining
With every word that you speak
Nothing can separate us from the love you gave
Sending us Jesus your son
Our future is safe in the hands of our saviour
And so we cry come Jesus come
You are The Lord over it all
Nothing’s beyond your control
