One of the CDs I got over Christmas was Chris Tomlin’s Hello Love. One of the highlights is his cover of Bluetree’s ‘God of this City’ .
The story behind the song is really amazing - Bluetree were on a mission trip to Thailand and got the opportunity to lead worship in a bar/brothel. In the middle of the worship time they got ‘God of this City”as a prophetic song and now it’s being sung around the world.
