God of My Days -- Visit to Gateway Church (South Lake, Texas)

God of My Days
Gateway Worship

You awaken my heart
From slumbering
Meet me in mourning
And you speak to my grief

You're the light in my darkness
The delight of my eyes
The hope of the daybreak
When the sun's slow to rise

(Chorus)
I trust that every moment's in your hands
You're the God of my days
The King of my nights
Lord of my laughter
Sovereign in sorrow
You're the Prince of my praise
The love of my life
You never leave me
You are faithful
God of my days

You unveil my eyes
Help me to see
The arms of my Father
Encircling me
You're a constant companion
I am never alone
Your love is the banner
That's leading me home

(Chorus)

My eyes are on You
My hope is in You
My faith is in You
My eyes are on You
My hope is in You
My faith is in You

(Repeat chorus 2 times)

Yesterday we attended the 4:00 p.m. Saturday service of the South Lake campus of Gateway Church. Our friends Brad & Holly have attended here for 6 years and they've seen it grow from around 1,500 to 15,000. It was mind-boggling to walk around that campus before church and see how well everything was done. The service lasted exactly one hour, including announcements done via a video clip at the very beginning of the service, worship time, communion, and an excellent sermon by Pastor Robert Morris on the law vs. grace.

The rapid growth of this church from a home Bible study in 2001 to its current size gives lots of room for thought. It would be amazing to see that type of church develop in Paris. Perhaps Hillsong is that type of church.
