How Great is Our GOD

“ How great is our God,

Sing with me how great is our God.

And all will see how great, how great is Our God

……….

My heart will sing how great, is our God………..

………..”

I am certain that most of you have heard this song, in case you haven’t please go ahead and listen to it!!

I was listening to the Hebrew version of this song the other day. I must say, no language can hide the beauty and meaning of this wonderfully composed song. I am not too great with history, although I must attest that curiosity has been my weakness always.

Some might find it stupid because I am guessing that they already knew, but I decided to dig more about the song. It was originally composed by Chris Tomlin during his stay in Austin. Texas and the Psalm that inspired him to write this song was Psalm 104 of the Holy Bible. Ed Cash and Jesse Reeves helped him to finish the song as we know it today.

This song tells us about the greatness and splendour of the LORD. His name is above all names, He is the king of all Kings and he rules with majesty and power. He has shown His love for us by sending his Son Jesus Christ, to die for our sins on the cross of Calvary. Since death couldn’t contain him, He rose again on the third day. This sacrifice for us, made the unworthy us, worthy to be called His children. We feel so proud when we are called our parents children because it is a different feeling when we are recognised that way. Imagine the privilege all those people hold who have believed this fact and are now known as the children of God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song literally proclaims the wonders and beauty and most importantly greatness of Our GOD so much so, that anyone would sing this over and over again. Because the penalty has been paid for all the wrongs done and the hearts cannot hold it anymore creation joins with all of us in singing this amazing song.

Truly how great is our God!
