My Savior My God

There are like 20 songs that Troy and Paige and I listen to frequently and find encouragement when we do. Paige's current fave is "Mighty to Save" so maybe we'll post her favorite next. I love the first four lines of this Aaron Shust song. There are so many things I DO NOT understand ... but it really changes nothing about Him. I don't need to understand it all ... which has always been very freeing for me personally. (Yes, we know this is two years old already, but it is a great song.) Check it out.







I am not skilled to understand

What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands One who is my Savior

I take Him at His word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find a need
For Him to be my Savior

That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

My Savior loves, my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, my God He is
My God He's always gonna be

Yes, living, dying let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior

That He would leave His place on High
And come for sinful men to die
You count it strange so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, My God He is, My God He's always gonna be (x6)

My Savior lives, My Savior loves
My Savior lives, My Savior loves
