Wide as the Sky

Hello from Redeemer Baptist Church. This is our first blog post. 

Today's post is about the song 'Wide as the Sky' by Matt Redman.


Here are the lyrics:

Hands up, hearts open
wide as the sky
We lift You high, we life You high
Hands up, hearts open
wide as we cry 
God, we lift Your name high

Let all the other names fade away
Let all the other names fade away
Until there's only You
Let all the other names fade away
Jesus, take Your place
Jesus, take Your place

Our God, we lift Your name high
We lift Your name high
Hand up, God we lift Your name high

This song is so simple yet so powerful because it talks about letting everything that isn't Jesus fade away so Jesus can take his rightful place. 

Colossians 3:1-4:

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
