We sang the “God of this City” by Chris Tomlin today at church today. I really like the song and thought I’d share the lyrics with you.

As we sang this today, I found myself thinking not of Winston-Salem, but of Napoli, the city that was home to me for three years. My eyes filled with tears as I thought about the 4 million people living there, most of whom don’t know they have a wonderful Savior who gave up everything for them.
I’m not saying I think the people in Napoli are any more lost than the ones right here in Winston-Salem, but my heart is still broken for that city and probably always will be because a little bit of me will always be there. There is something incredibly powerful about standing on top of San Elmo Castle and looking down at a sea of apartment buildings that are filled with an ocean of people. For that lostness, I weep…I cry out…I hope that God will move and use a country that saw some of the first Christian churches so long ago become alive with the power of the Holy Spirit and experience a revolution of life change through Jesus Christ.
