All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

THERE MUST BE A GREATER YES

A brother in Christ shared this vidio Called , 'There must Be a Greater Yes,' and it really spoke to my Heart about prayers that seem to go unanswered and how we are to respond as Christians when the answers to our prayers are delayed. I will put the word to the song here and you will have to go on You tube to see the vidio, just put the title and the artist and it will lead you to the vidio.

There Must Be a Greater Yes ~ the Whisnants

Verse 1:
It starts with a desire, planted deep within your heart
You pray in faith, and wait for God to move
Time passes and you wonder
Did He hear me when I called?
Should I even have prayed that prayer at all?

Chorus:
You never pray a prayer; your Father will not answer
He can’t ignore His child’s earnest request
While you’re waiting and believing
For what you thought was best
Trust God if He says no….. You’re still blessed
There must be a greater yes

Verse 2:
There comes a time when child-like faith
Must graduate to trust
Trials come and you’re convinced you’re on your own
But the teacher’s often silent
During the hardest test
But He’ll answer when it’s time with what is best

Bridge:
Sometimes God will answer – just like we prayed
Then other times what’s on His mind
Is a better plan, a another way, a greater yes

Some times the greater yes won't be realized until we are in that city.
The part that touches me so is the thought of my mom who was in a whealchair for 25 years running all over the streets of that city. Truely it is the greater yes for her.

The Light of That City

In this house we've built of make believe
Loved ones go long before seems it's time to leave
But we will learn how to grieve, to forgive and receive
'Til we see them there in that city
Span of stars overhead as we walk this road
While this darkness remains I will bear your load
And together we will tend the seed He's sown
As we walk along the road to that city
On that day we will sing "Holy, Holy"
On that day we'll bow down in the light
And then we'll rise and turn our eyes
To the One who's the light, the light of that city
Though my eyes can't see what is waiting there
Though my mind can't conceive all that He's prepared
There the blind will see the sun
What was old will be young
And the lame, they will run all over the streets of that City
On that day we will sing "Holy, Holy"
On that day we'll bow down in the light
And then we'll rise and turn our eyes
To the Lord, Jesus Christ
On that day we will sing, "Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy"
On that day we'll bow down in the light
And then we'll rise and turn our eyes
To the Lord, Jesus Christ
He's the light of that City

The greater yes has been realized for those who have left us and entered into heaven. The words to this song by Don Moen express the greater yes in a beautiful way.
Our prayers have been answered
I finally arrived
The healing that had been delayed
Is now realized
No one's in a hurry
There's no schedule to keep
We're all enjoying Jesus
Just sitting at His feet
If you could see me now
I'm walking streets of gold
If you could see me now
I'm walking tall and whole
If you could see me now
You'd know I've seen His face
If you could see me now
You'd know the pain's erased
You wouldn't want me
to ever leave this place
If only you could see me now

My light and temporary trials
Have worked out for my good
To know it brought Him glory
When I misunderstood
Though we've had our sorrows
They can never compare
To what Jesus has in store for us
No language can compare
