What a joy it is to serve the Lord this morning

"Now Our God"  will be perfect for Thanksgiving 
as we endeavor to help the Body of Christ to focus on the 
"good" things in life that their God has made possible!

Story Behind This Song

 

It was sung as the closing song at our 12/00 Christmas pageant
by the children of New Hope Chapel !

NEW!!!   Hear Peter Gringhuis sing this song ! 
(from the Netherlands)

In December 2000, Gerrit Gustafson was kind enough to review
"How Precious Is Your Love"  and suggested several useful modifications
to the melody and chords.  He also gave me encouraging feedback on

this song, "Now Our God", and  "How Awesome Is This Place".


A church group in Kronberg, Germany included
"Now Our God" in their holiday concert!
