I had trouble with G. There were so many great songs starting with G. I was thinking of Glorify Your Name by Lakewood or Glorious by Martha Munizi, then decided on God Of This City.
Most people listen to the Chris Tomlin version, but I usually prefer the original version by Bluetree, mainly because of the extra verse and chorus they sing that Chris doesn't (usually) cover, I think. Also credits to the original creators, yes?
You're 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
For there is no one like our God
There is no one like You God
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here
You're the Lord of creation, the creator of all things
You're the King above all kings, You are
You're the strength in the weakness, You are love to the broken
You're the joy in the sadness, You are
For there is no one like our God
There is no one like You God
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city
Where glory shines from hearts alive
With praise for You and love for You in this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here
Also, THAT PIANO.

Also, because he mentioned it yesterday (or was it Monday?) I woke up with this in my head.
I do like this song; it is comforting God is God of this city and he has great plans for every city if we will allow him to work.
