“God of This City” (No 56 in AOV NG) appears to have been written by a committee (six of them) and is a P&W song. Like a lot of these songs it follows a spoken voice rhythm that is a challenge to make sensible in notation. It also has the confusing variable repeat disease. For all that it is a pretty good pop song.
The gang who wrote this has certainly been listening to a lot of Coldplay. The internet tells me song is associated with Chris Tomlin who sings it on the clip below. Simon Brading does the version on the CD with a very similar arrangment but a less gushy vocal and all the better for that.
Verse 1
You’re the God of this City
You’re the King of these people
You’re the Lord of this nation
You areVerse 2
You’re the Light in this darkness
You’re the Hope to the hopeless
You’re the Peace to the restless
You areThere is no one like our God
There is no one like our GodChorus
For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater thing have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this CityVerse 1
Verse 2
There is no one like our God
There is no one like our GodChorus
For 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 hereThere is no one like our God
There is no one like our God[Chorus]
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.
