VBS Music: Amazing Wonders Aviation

I have to admit, last summer when we first heard the theme for VBS 2012 was Aviation, I wasn't very excited. But it has really grown on me over the past year. Our VBS leadership team has been meeting, planning, plotting, crafting, preparing, gathering supplies, decorating, and inviting for over 2 months. And tomorrow is our big first day!

The music this year is awesome, as usual. I've decided each day this week, I'll post a song from that day's worship rally. Today's song is the THEME song for our week, which we'll be singing each day at least twice! We're excited to see the kids come and learn alongside our leaders, teens and friends. If you aren't in our area, I encourage to you find another AWA VBS this summer and join the crew in soaring and exploring God's creation!

Amazing Wonders Aviation

Verse 1: 

Are you longin’ to see marvelous things

God has made for you and me

Welcome aboard, we’re gonna soar

To places we’ve never been before

Don’t be afraid; The Lord is great

He will be with us all the way

Hold on tight as we take flight

This is a ride that will change your life

Chorus:

Amazing Wonders Aviation

Encountering God’s awesome power

Discovering in every situation

God is with us every minute, every hour

Bridge:

Blazing through the wild, blue yonder of His creation

On the Amazing Wonders Aviation

Are you longin’ to see marvelous things

God has made for you and me

Welcome aboard, we’re gonna soar

To places we’ve never been before

Don’t be afraid; The Lord is great

He will be with us all the way

Hold on tight as we take flight

This is a ride that will change your life

Amazing Wonders Aviation

Encountering God’s awesome power

Discovering in every situation

God is with us every minute, every hour

Blazing through the wild, blue yonder of His creation

On the Amazing Wonders Aviation

This is my Father’s world

And to my listening ears

All nature sings, around me rings

The music of the spheres

Repeat Chorus twice, Repeat Bridge

Amazing Wonders Aviation

This is our theme verse for the week:

Psalm 147:5

"Great is our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit."

Here is the verse in context:
Psalm 145:3-7

"Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom.
One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.
They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
They tell of the power of your awesome works— and I will proclaim your great deeds.
They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness."
