Megan's prayer: Casting Crow's "Life of Praise"

Growing up, I often found that there were discrepancies between what someone actually said to me and what I thought they said to me. It most of the time happened when someone would use a common phrase I was unfamiliar with. The saying “day and age” to me was “dayen age.” I didn’t know what “dayen” meant, but to me it made sense. The phrase “rhyme or reason” to me was “Reimer reason.” I knew someone with the last name of Reimer growing up, and that’s just how I always heard the phrase when people would use it.

In today’s song, it used phrases that I am not extremely familiar with. I may have heard them before, but never quite understood what they meant. God of the Nations, Lion of Judah, Rock of the Ages, Alpha, Omega. I understand they describe God, but some of the meaning, some of the comparison, is lost for me. I may not get as much out of these phrases as someone else would.

One line of comparison, a way of describing God that I did understand today was For You are awesome. “Awesome.” It’s a word I use everyday to describe wonderful, amazing things. It is a word that I associate joy with, I use it to describe happy times. It is simple. It is a perfect. There is no Reimer reason in this dayen age that I couldn’t use more sophisticated phrases or words, but I think I will stick with “awesome” to describe God.
