How Great Is Our God

We spent another day at the dump yesterday. This is a complicated situation, but the short story is that several hundred people earn a meager living digging through the trash while avoiding the trucks and heavy equipment buzzing around. Their kids used to accompany them all day, but thanks to the efforts of Extreme Response they now have a great facility for the kids.
These kids are in a safe environment where they get nutritious meals, play time and lots of love. They also get basic medical care at a clinic on site, as do their parents. All due to the generosity and love of people just like me and you.

Yesterday, I sat and held one little girl that was very upset. I had no idea what was wrong and my Spanish is pitiful, so all I could do was rock and try to comfort her. Nothing was working, so I decided to sing to her. I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but she didn't seem to mind. I started with the first song that came to mind and it worked just fine. When I tried to switch songs, I went completely blank. No matter how hard I tried I could not think of a single other song, so I just went with it. And as I sang, the tears just came and would not stop.

This was our song:

The splendor of a King,
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice,
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light,
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice,
And trembles at His voice

How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
and all will see how great,
How great is our God

Age to age He stands
And time is in His Hands
Beginning and the End,
Beginning and the End
The Godhead, Three in One
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb,
The Lion and the Lamb

There we were, sitting in the Zambiza Dump, singing of the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Steve and Domenica.
