God of this City

Tonight at community meeting, the crew came together for a time of worship and prayer. As we sang one of my favorite hymns, Be Thou My Vision, it reminded me that the Lord is my vision here. He is the only reason why I am serving the people of Benin, not for riches nor man's praise. We closed by singing "God of this City" by Chris Tomlin and praying for the city of Cotonou. Please pray along with me for this city as you read through the lyrics below. Pray for the healing of patients on the ship, for the outreach teams in the villages, and pray God will do great things for the last four months we are here in Benin. 


You're the 

God of this City

You're the King of these people

You're the Lord of this nation

You are 

You're the Light in this darkness

You're the Hope to the hopeless

You're the Peace to the restless

You are

There is no one like our God

There is no one like our God 

For greater things have yet to come

And greater things are still to be done in this City

Greater thing have yet to come

And greater things are still to be done in this City
