I didn't like it. I'm not sure why. It just didn't seem "catchy" as I listened to it.
But then it grew on me a little. And then I added it to my ipod. And last Friday night I added it to my new playlist called "Humid Running" because, well, it's been humid and it makes running even less fun. I figured a playlist for it would help.
It did.
And during the 8 miles last Saturday I fell in love with this song...because I sang it (in my head and not out loud) as a worship song. And then I got it...it's a worship song.
God of this city. God of this tiny-town. Same difference. He's made it the cry of my heart.
There is no one like our God.

ReplyDeletei heart this song....I first heard it when our boys were in the NICU and we were driving back and forth from the hospital.
ReplyDeleteI love it.
Love that song. We have been singing it at church too!!
ReplyDeleteWould be a great song to run to :} I'll stick to running errands instead of miles!
I love this song... when we planted a new campus of our church, this was our theme song..... I et your just like me - and get all excited about what God's gonna do when you hear it! It gets me pumped!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous song! As much as I love my Chris Tomlin, though, the original by Bluetree is the best!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this song!
ReplyDeleteOur church just planted 2 churches and we played that on the Sunday we commissioned the teams heading off. Since then, I always think of those two "teams"/churches of ours and remember to pray for them. It's definitely become a regular that the worship team plays. Such an awesome song!
I love this song too...
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE that song!
ReplyDeleteThe winner of American Idol sings it too - check out you tube. Can't remember his name right now..
Kris Allen - He does a good job too! :) I was excited to see him hit youtube w/ that!
ReplyDeleteGreat song. Our city had a local worship leader perform this for our National Day of Prayer 2009 observance.
ReplyDeleteI have the Bluetree version on my iPod. I really like Bluetree....
ReplyDeleteGood stuff. I love when a song grows on ya.
how funny! I have had a like/hate relationship with that song...why... I think it is the way he says "city" he says it like "sit-A" hate that, but the REST of the song is nice! Too yankee sounding for me maybe? SIT A!!!!!!!! he says it over and over... sit A!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteCame to you from Rachel's Small Notebook! Our youth director sang this song one night at Mass. It's absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing it!
I had been hearing this song last spring and didn't pay much attention to it when it came on the radio but then when Coach Thomas died, someone posted it to one of his "fan pages" and I paid attention. Wonderful song on normal days but I think, it's extra-special on days when a town is hurting (floods, tornados, death of a leader, etc.)
ReplyDeleteThis song was one of our theme songs for our church's missions conference last year and, like you, at first I didn't care for it too much -- but as we sang it every night I too realized what you did -- it is a worship song! God is not just the God of the universe he is the God of THIS CITY and there is no one like Him!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love that you have a Humid Running playlist :)
Audrey LOVES this song! she plays it over and over again.... she sings along too, but it's very loud! lol
ReplyDeletethe one she has is sung by blue tree...... i didn't realize that chris tomlin sang it as well.
Great video too!
ReplyDeleteHubby and the band at church sang this song during worship a couple of months back. Great message.
