And We're Back

Remember how the Senegalese say "nit nitay garabam"? A person is another person's remedy?

I got some tough news from two different friends from the US concerning two different issues relative to their respective life stages. What was good for me, though, is that I was with Xadi while processing both pieces of news. She was able to listen, to share, and then to help me move forth. We talked through our papers for our Islam class (due Monday!) and got some work done. Djibi texted me not long after and I ended up abandoning further homework attempts to head over to Yamma's. It was so good just to hang out with everyone, and it really lifted my spirits.

That, and Gateway's album Great Great God. I had heard the title track before, and it was stuck in my head after hearing it Easter Sunday. I decided to buy the album and have been very blessed by it. If Christ can become sin to save an entire people, if He can conquer the grave, of course His greatness will make itself known in our lives as we seek Him.

Here's the song: 

Your cross gave life, hope and salvation
Full restoration, promise for all
Your grace has made us part of Your kingdom
Living in freedom, heirs with Your Son

[Channel]
Jesus, Your name is a light, now Your redemption draws in to our lives
Strong in battle, You overcame and the victory’s ours, now we sing

[Chorus]
Great, great, there is no one like our God
Great, great, there is no one like our God
Great, great, there is no one like our God
Great, great, there is no one like our God
[repeat]

[Verse 2]
Our walls fall down, strongholds are broken
Eternity’s spoken, righteous we stand
The church we’ll rise, declaring Your kingdom
Shouting Your freedom, the blood of the Lamb



[Channel]
Jesus, Your name is a light, now Your redemption draws in to our lives
Strong in battle, You overcame and the victory’s ours, now we sing

[Chorus]
Great, great, there is no one like our God
Great, great, there is no one like our God
Great, great, there is no one like our God
Great, great, there is no one like our God
[repeat]

[Bridge]
You reign in all the earth
You reign victorious
Your power is limitless
There is no one like our God
[repeat]

[Tag]
There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
No one like our God
