How Great is Our God

I did not always like Chris Tomlin songs, but they are growing on me. This song is particularly meaningful to me because of what happened on Sunday.

I informed the congregation at Countryside that we would be leaving before Christmas. I said a few things during the announcement time, then our board chairman spoke, then we had our closing song "How Great is Our God". It was the most powerful worship experience I had in a long time because I could hear and see the emotion as myself and those around me tried to truly believe what we were singing.

Often we just sing songs we know without thinking of the words, but this time with each phrase I could "feel" people trying their hardest to mean what they were saying to God. With that scene set, read or take a listen:

"How Great Is Our God"

The splendor of a king
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice

He wraps Himself in light,
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice

How great is our God – sing with me
How great is our God – and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end

The Godhead Three in One
Father, Spirit and Son
Lion and the Lamb
Lion and the Lamb

How great is our God – sing with me
How great is our God – and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

Name above all names
You're worthy of all praise
And my heart will sing
How great is our God

[3x]
How great is our God – sing with me
How great is our God – and all will see
How great, how great is our God
