It's called "God of Heaven" Thank you for listening and for your input!
Nehemiah 1:5 from The Message Bible
I said, "God, God of Heaven, the great and awesome God, loyal to his covenant and faithful to those who love him and obey his commands..."
Here's the lyrics:
Hallelujah (4x) Lord
verse 1
To You I lift my voice
Higher are Your ways
Everything within me gives You praise
My life is in Your hands
Would You guide me each day?
To be more like You is what I pray
pre-chorus
Cuz You give me hope
and a love that's never ending
My life is Yours, I live for You Lord!
chorus
You're the God of Heaven, great and awesome
Loyal and faithful, You live in me
You reign in power, give strength to the weak
Hope to the hopeless, You are my King
tag
You're the God of Heaven
Great and awesome, You are. My King
You're the God of Heaven
Great and awesome, You are. My everything
tag 2
Hallelujah (repeat)
Your Name is higher, Your Name is higher
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
ending
You, Lord
I live for You
There's a verse 2 but I didn't recorded that bit because I thought the song would be to long.
verse 2
Your ways are holy Lord, there's no one like You
I'm telling the world of Your great truth
You've wiped my sin away, I will thank You always
You've given me life, I'm saved by grace

hi Nichole
i think it's a good response to realising how great God is! i particularly like the line in the chorus where you say 'he reigns in me' - it really is amazing that such a great God lives in us!
i think you're right - it is a long song, at 5m30s with a verse not included! but more than that i think you have too many sections to it which might make it difficult for people to get a handle on where the tune is going and to remember which bit is coming up next. there might be some merit in trimming it down - cut out the first tag in favour of the second? because you start the song with a version of the second tag, it might be a good move musically to return to it later. i also wonder if you could trim out the ending section? what do you think?
keep working at it and well done!
bless ya
matt
