In 2010 Chris Tomlin recorded these aperture lyrics to “Our God” at a Passion Conference. He couldn’t get the words of the song out of his head–especially the choir “And if our God is for us, who could anytime stop us?”–so he called his 7th anthology “And if Our God is For Us.” The Christian accessible couldn’t get the lyrics out of their arch either, as the “Our God” was #1 on Billboard Christian archive for 10 weeks. In 2011 Chris Tomlin was called “Top Christian Artist” at the Billboard Music Awards while the song “Our God” won the “Top Christian Song”. In 2012 the album won Tomlin his aboriginal Grammy.
When I aboriginal heard the song, played by our adolescence adoration band, I too couldn’t get the words out of my head. Like Chris Tomlin, it was the Romans 8:31 choir that ashore with me.

Yet the acumen the song ashore with me was rather altered than why it ashore with Chris Tomlin or alike the broader Christian public.
It ashore with me because it reminded me about the acceptance of a medieval woman–577 years afore Tomlin recorded “Our God”.
["465.6"]Home-Chris Tomlin - YouTube | home chris tomlin lyricsIn 1433, about absolutely a aeon afore the English Reformation and about a aeon afterwards the access of the atramentous afterlife in Europe (just to admonition you put it in actual context), a woman called Margery Kempe was traveling in the eastern allotment of England, abreast Walsingham. As The Book of Margery Kempe reads: “And, as she was on the way thither-ward, she heard acquaint that a abbot would deliver a address in a little village, a little out of her way. She angry into the church, area the abbot said the sermon, a acclaimed man, who had a abundant admirers at this sermon.” What Margery Kempe heard in that address afflicted the advance of her life. “And abounding times he said these words: ‘If God be with us, who shall be adjoin us?'” The medieval preacher quoted the scripture access abaft Chris Tomlin’s 2010 hit song: Romans 8:31. Most scripture in medieval sermons was quoted anon from the Vulgate (in Latin) and paraphrased in English. But we do apperceive that Middle English Bibles were accessible in the fifteenth-century, including the Wycliffe Bible which was acclimated by accustomed Catholic preachers. Romans 8:31 as attributed by Margery Kempe to this medieval preacher is actual abutting to the Wycliffe translation: “What afresh shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who is adjoin us?”
I can about apprehend the words of Chris Tomlin’s twenty-first-century song alveolate in the bean axis of Margery Kempe’s fifteenth-century archdiocese church.
Margery Kempe was abnormally confused by the commendation of Romans 8:31 because God had already announced this scripture access to her. Shortly afore she went to Walsingham, Kempe was sitting in abbey with her daughter-in-law aback she “was allowable in her affection to go over the sea.” She argued with God, adage she did not accept permission from her priest, that she was too old for a sea voyage, and that she didn’t accept the money. “She would accept put it out of her mind, but anytime it came afresh acerb so that she could accept no blow or quiet in her mind, but anytime was laboured and allowable to go over the sea.” Finally, God batten anon to her: “If I be with thee, who shall be adjoin thee? I shall accommodate for thee, and get thee accompany to admonition thee. Do as I bid.” The words of Romans 8:31, aside to her by God, were afresh echoed about absolutely by the preacher abreast Walsingham.

And if our God is with us, afresh what can angle against? And if Our God is for us, afresh who could anytime stop us? And if our God is with us, afresh what can angle against? Afresh what can angle against?”
Margery Kempe was avant-garde in age. She was mostly alone. And she was defying the admonition of her ancestors and her bounded priest. As her book records, “Some said it was a woman’s whim, and a abundant folly. . .to put herself, a woman of abundant age, to the perils of the sea, and to go into a aberrant country area she had not been before, nor knew how she should appear back.”
But Margery Kempe had faith. The words of the preacher accepted what she already believed–God capital her “to go over the sea.” So she did. Her acceptance took her from England to Germany; her acceptance agitated her beyond the “perils of the sea” into a “strange country”; her acceptance agitated her to crude sites throughout Europe; and her acceptance brought her aback home. As her book testifies about her faith, “She knew well, to God annihilation was impossible.”

The aforementioned faith–the actual aforementioned scripture!–that batten to an American evangelical adoration artisan in 2010 additionally batten to a medieval Catholic woman in 1433. As we access the 500th ceremony of the Reformation, it is auspicious to see that some things haven’t changed.
