Views From Our Room

We're having a great time in Mazatlan. It's been good to see and experience another part of the world. Yesterday, we took a tour of Mazatlan, saw much of the city, and also learned much about it. As I traveled the streets, I couldn't help but think of Steven Curtis Chapman's song "Yours". For as Steven sings about the streets of London, Uganda, and Nashville all belonging to God...that's what I keep thinking here in Mazatlan...it too is all yours Lord. I've put the lyrics below in case you're not familiar with the song...

I walk the streets of London, and notice in the faces passing by...something that makes me stop and listen...My heart grows heavy with the cry. Where is the hope for London....You whisper and my heart begins to soar....as I’m reminded every street in London is Yours

I walk the dirt roads of Uganda...I see the scars that war has left behind. Hope like the sun is fading...and they’re waiting for a cure no one can find. And I hear children’s voices singing... of a God who heals and rescues and restores...and I’m reminded that every child in Africa is Yours...

It’s all Yours God, Yours God, everything is Yours... From the stars in the sky, to the depths of the ocean floor...and it’s all Yours God, Yours God, everything is Yours You’re the maker and keeper, Father and ruler of everything...It’s all Yours

I walk the sidewalks of Nashville...like Singapore, Manila and Shanghai.... I brush by the beggar’s hand and the wealthy man...and everywhere I look I realize. Just like the streets of London...for every man and woman, boy and girl. All of creation, this is our Father’s world

It’s all Yours God, Yours God, everything is Yours From the stars in the sky to the depths of the ocean floor...and it’s all Yours God, Yours God, everything is Yours You’re the maker and keeper, Father and ruler of everything
