"Point of Difference"

Hello all! I'm back in chilly Indiana, but I must say it's good to be home :)
However, while in Florida, I snagged the Hillsong United's worship DVD. Featuring their I HEART REVOLUTION. I haven't actually watched the main part of the DVD, but I did watch behind the scene action & a music video by them. It was called "Point of Difference." Hadn't heard the song before, listened to it, loved it, gotta share it!

Let's start with the lyrics....

"The tide is turning
This is redemption's hour
In the midst of the world lost for love
You are all we have now

The lost returning
Salvation is all around
In the midst of the world broken down
You are all we have now

For You are God and this hope is ours

So Father open the skies
Flood the Earth with your light
This is love, to break a world indifferent

Sing

Our hearts are burning
The fire that won't burn out
In the midst of a world that's grown cold
You are all we have now

The earth resounding
The anthem of your renown
As we lift up our eyes
And look to your glory

Call us out let the world see
You are God and this hope is ours

So call us out, let the world see
You are God as we sing

Open the skies
Flood the Earth with your light
This is love to break a world indifferent
As we lift up our eyes
Fill our hearts with your fire
In a world the same we'll be the difference, the difference

So call us out let the world see
You are God and this hope is ours

Our eyes are open
Every chain now broken
In this world we are different
Let your love become us
As we live to make you famous
We're in this world but we are different

So call us out, let the world see
You are God as we sing

Father open the skies
Flood the Earth with your life
This is love to break a world indifferent
As we lift up our eyes
Fill our hearts with your fire
In a world the same we'll be the difference, the difference

So call us out let the world see
You are God one and only
In this world you are all we have now"


Now, take a second, deep breath....and realize the power in these lyrics!!
I love, love, love them. Scripture laid out and so much truth in just one song.

To me this reminds me of a few things.
1.We are set apart, we are different, but that's not a bad thing whatsoever!

2.We CAN make a difference and be used by God. ---> John 14:12 "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even GREATER things than these, because I am going to the Father."
If Jesus says we will do greater things, I think we should believe Him!

3.God is all we need. Our World is like they say cold,indifferent,evil,etc.
But we have a God that will never leave us and that loves us unconditionally. Not only that but He has covered us with mercy and grace, and has allowed us the opportunity to reunite with Him in Heaven for eternity. We don't needs things of this world, they'll be dust one day! All we need is God!


So, I hope that this song blesses you like it has blessed me. Never give up hope or your faith because God is with you! Love you all! :)
