Our Great Reward

This has become one of my favorite songs. It always seems to refocus my heart and remind me that I don’t have to worry about all those silly things. It helps me remember WHY I’m here on earth and why God made me—to glorify Him. And it helps me remember that God is my great reward in life and in eternity.

"Great Reward" by Tim Timmons

(lyrics taken from here)

I trust in You for every heartbeat

As long as I'm alive

Your love endures when I wake

And when I close my eyes

Help me to know You are God, I am not

Remind my soul You're in control

Praise to the Father

With every breath I take

In joy and sorrow

All for Your kingdom's sake

Be Thou my vision

Be Thou my hope restored

Now and forever

You are my great reward

I won't demand to know the reasons

For my suffering

These open hands will trust Your wisdom

Beyond what I see

Help me to know You are God, I am not

Remind my soul You're in control

Praise to the Father

With every breath I take

In joy and sorrow

All for Your kingdom's sake

Be Thou my vision

Be Thou my hope restored

Now and forever

You are my great reward

Oh Lord, my great reward

I know this is dangerous

Daring just to pray this

I will trust You Lord

The rock throughout the ages

You make me courageous

I will trust You Lord

I will trust You Lord

I know this is dangerous

Daring just to pray this

I will trust You Lord

Help me trust You Lord

The rock throughout the ages

You make me courageous

I will trust You Lord

I will trust You Lord

Praise to the Father

With every breath I take

In joy and sorrow

All for Your kingdom's sake

Be Thou my vision

Be Thou my hope restored

Now and forever

You are my great reward

Oh, my great reward
