How Great Is Our God

so my last post was about learning to be "real" with God, and yet (in an ironic way, but not, b/c God is deep like that) today i was also reminded that no matter how down i might feel, at my very core, i can't help but give glory to God.

i just bought the new passion cd this week, and i was listening to "How Great Is Our God" this morning as i drove to work. and surprisingly, i found myself getting kinda emotional just listening and singing these words.

my CG group is going thru a study right now called "A Life of Worship", and last week we studied and talked about how our original purpose is to bring God glory (isaiah 43:7). as i was singing this song this morning i think this really rang true with me. and as the song went on you could hear more of the audience singing and less of the worship leader, and you could just sense there were thousands of people there all singing "how great is our God"! i was just blown away by the thought of all these people giving God the glory and praise He totally deserves.

it's crazy how life might bring us down at times and how tired we may be, yet by singing five simple words that gives our creator all the glory it helps us to realize our true purpose and brings us so much joy...HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!!

How Great Is Our God (Chris Tomlin)
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 Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

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