I’ve never been a fan of long worship songs. I know what it means to ‘lose yourself’ in a worship moment, but when ‘soaking songs’ started to become in vogue, I found the ADHD in me kicking in around the 5½ minute mark.
But then there’s this one.
I think that The Same God by Elevation Worship is a worship song we need in these times. This is the lyric version which clocks in at just over 8 minutes. You’ll find other versions online which run 11½ minutes.
Like the 11th chapter of Hebrews, it offers a catalog of people and events which serve as reminders of where God met people where they are.
And honestly, I can’t think of anything much I would want to take out to shorten this to the four-to-five minutes that many — especially non-Pentecostals or non-Charismatics — prefer.
So here’s my suggestion: If you don’t know this song, take the time now to just rest with it and let it speak to you.
He is the same God today as he has been before.
Thinking Out Loud 
Paul, our worship leader at church introduced this just this morning. She clued us into the lyrics in advance and I agree — one of the most moving songs i’ve heard in a long time.
