As I gazed up at this fresco of Jesus, a depiction of “Christ Pantocrator” or Christ Almighty, I was overwhelmed by a sense of peace as this worship song came to my mind:
“I will look up” by Elevation Worship
All the worries of this world
I will lay them at Your feet
Surrender every anxious thought
For perfect peace, Your perfect peace
All the loved ones I hold dear
All my hopes and dreams and all my fears
I will choose to trust Your name
In everything, with everything
I will look up for there is none above You
I will bow down to tell You that I need You
Jesus Lord of all, Jesus Lord of all
I will take You at Your word
For Jesus, You have taken hold of me
All my life is in Your hands
You are my strength, You are my strength
I will look up for there is none above You
I will bow down to tell You that I need You
Jesus Lord of all
I will look back and see that You are faithful
I look ahead believing You are able
Jesus Lord of all, Jesus Lord of all
The Lord, the Lord of all
Prince of Peace, Perfect Healer
All my life, all my cares on You
King of Kings, Mighty Savior
All my life, all my cares on You
Prince of Peace, Perfect Healer
All my life, all my cares on You
King of Kings, Mighty Savior
All my life, all my cares on You
all my cares are on You
My hopes, my dreams, my life, my life, oh
I will look up for there is none above You
I will bow down to tell You that I need You
Jesus Lord of all
I will look back and see that You are faithful
I’ll look ahead believing You are able
Jesus Lord of all, You’re Jesus Lord of all
Our God is Jesus Lord of all, You’re Jesus Lord of all
May you remember to look up during these challenging times, and know the Almighty is there for you!! Pray also that as our local friends gaze at this same image, their hearts would be drawn to Jesus and they would call on Him as Lord of all.
