Song Highlight: Wonderful Maker

"For I have chosen [Abraham], that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him." -Genesis 18:19

As we examined Genesis 19 this week, we saw a direct contrast between Abraham and his nephew Lot. In chapter 18, God reveals the proper way to lead a family: to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice. But, as we learned, Lot and his family do not keep the way of the LORD; rather, they are lured into darkness by their depraved surroundings.

As we reflect on this, we come to the realization that our earthly fathers, whether they are following the way of the LORD or not, still stumble and fall into sin. This is an inevitable truth of our fallen world. But we can have hope, for our heavenly Father will never fail us. The same God who created the universe is working in our hearts today. He is working to recreate us—to make us new. He is, as Chris Tomlin's song proclaims, a wonderful maker.

Reflect on this truth as you listen to the song below.

Lyrics:

You spread out the skies over empty space
Said, "Let there be light," and to a dark and formless world
Your light was born

You spread out your arms over empty hearts
Said, "Let there be light," and to a dark and hopeless world
Your son was born

You made the world and saw that it was good
You sent your only son, for you are good

What a wonderful maker, what a wonderful savior
How majestic your whispers, how humble your love
With a strength like no other and the heart of a father
How majestic your whispers, what a wonderful God

No eye has fully seen how beautiful the cross
And we have only heard the faintest whispers of
How great you are
