From Christian Rock to the Rock of Ages

 ‘You’re the greatest sign and wonder, You’re the brightest shining star’. I needed an opening line that tried to express how huge and incredible God really is. We can only gain a glimpse of His greatness this side of eternity, our words can’t truly describe Him, and our minds can’t even imagine Him, but as songwriters we have to at least make a valiant effort! So to me, “the greatest sign and wonder”, describes God as the most miraculous of all miracles, greater than the entire created universe, way above the highest thought, and yet still drawing us; fallible, needy creatures that we are, towards Himself, through Jesus Christ and by the power of His Spirit.—This is me saying, I wish the lost souls out there would see the true meaning of these Christian rock lyrics. With these Christian rock lyrics, no one can ever be the greatest as God. I know God do perform miracles in people’s lives.

Verse two describes Him as “the greatest of adventures”, “the hope that burns in us”, and “the author of the life eternal”. That’s me trying to get a handle on eternity. I can’t imagine eternity being a place or existence without a journey of discovery. I can’t imagine waking up and instantly knowing everything about God, so I’m ready for an adventure that started when I first met Christ at my Damascus Road experience in my lounge and will never ever end! That’s my deep burning hope, inspired by the Spirit in me testifying of Jesus, and Him in turn leading me to our Father.—This is me saying, I agree 100%. With these Christian rock lyrics, I definitely want my journey to heaven. I always will continue to grow spiritually daily in my life.

Verse three, “the One of new beginnings”, “writer of redemption’s song” and “healer of the lost and broken”, a new viewpoint, this time of the coming Kingdom of God. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we’re made new in Him, so our lives are reset and we get a chance to start again at 1, redeemed by the grace of our God who also chooses to stand with the lost and the broken of society. Surely that will be what it’s like to see God’s Kingdom emphatically come on the earth, not just one long worship-fest, but peoples’ lives reset, redeemed and made whole again?—This is me saying, with these Christian rock lyrics, I was glad to have a new life when my boy friend at the time lead me to the Lord. If your life is in shambles, have Jesus as your personal Saviour and you will be on your way to a new beginning.

All I can say is about these Christian rock lyrics is God gives us life as he gave his only begotten son do died on the cross for us. God is truly the greatest and glorious of all. Would you take the time to have God in your life??
