God of This City

As the attacks on churches in Malaysia continues due to the dispute over the usage of the word "Allah" in Christianity, my heart aches for the attackers, the haters, and the innocent people as well. As Luke 23:34 puts it, "then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" and this is exactly what I feel toward these people right now. This song comes to my mind whenever I think about this crisis.

You're the God of this City
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You are

You're the Light in this darkness
You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless
You are

There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater thing have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City


Despite all these circumstances, I know that our Lord God will continue to keep watch over Malaysia and His faithful believer. I pray that Christians in Malaysia, especially those affected ones, will not grow to hate but to love them even more. I pray that Christians will grab hold of this time of crisis to share the gospel and spread God's love to those who are confused and weak, and even better, to those who are against them.
