“How Great is Our God”, music by Ed Cash, words by Chris Tomlin and Jesse Reeves, is No 70 in As One Voice: the Next Generation. This is designed for stadium worship with acres of swaying arms held aloft. Wouldn’t be sad if no-one would “sing with me”? Nevertheless it would be hard to resist the song in the right setting. The CD has Joshua Blakesley’s version. The video version below has Chris Tomlin overemoting (OK probably fine in context).
VERSE 1
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
it trembles at his voice,
trembles at his voiceCHORUS
How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
and all will see
How great
How great is our GodVERSE 2
And 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, Son
the Lion and the Lamb,
the Lion and the LambCHORUS
BRIDGE
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
how great is our God
Name above all names
you are worthy of all praise
and my heart will sing
how great is our GodCHORUS x several
