mission and worship

Since the church planting conference, several things have been swimming around in my head and heart. I feel like I was able to share some of that with my team during our weekly devotional and meeting today. We closed by singing a song together, and I realized that the words reflect what I've studied and what has consumed my thoughts recently. Today, I want to include that song into my blog:

Father in heaven, how we love You!
We lift Your Name in all the earth.
May Your Kingdom be established in our praises,
As Your people declare Your mighty works.
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty,
Who was, and is, and is to come.
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty,
Who reigns forevermore.
