Our God Is Greatly To Be Praised

Psalm 95:1-6

Lyrics

Verse 1
Let us praise our maker
Let joy resound!
– Our God is greatly to be praised!
For no god is greater
None higher crowned
– Our God is greatly to be praised!

He is God from the sea to the mountain
He is God through the night and day
Through the changing seasons one truth remains:
– Our God is greatly to be praised!

Verse 2
Come and bow in wonder
Come kneel in awe
– Our God is greatly to be praised
Humble hearts, surrender
Glad saints, adore
– Our God is greatly to be praised

He is God in the peace and the turmoil
Through the heartache and joy He reigns
In our want and bounty, one truth remains:
“Our God is greatly to be praised!”

Verse 3
Let us praise our Saviour
With joy unbound
– Our God is greatly to be praised
In the Shepherd’s pasture
Ou rest is found
– Our God is greatly to be praised

He is God as we lift our worship
God the same should we spurn His grace
In our faith and failing, one truth remains:
– ”Our God is greatly to be praised!”

Unto Him be all blessing and honour
All the glory and might be His
Only God, unchanging, from age to age
– Our God is greatly to be praised
– Our God is greatly to be praised!

The Story

Given the brief, this is another of those “come” songs. I’ve lifted it from Ps 95:1-6 (with repeated use of Ps 145:3), but with a twist.

Whereas many invitation songs bid us come to find solace from our burdens, this says “come because He is worthy of worship regardless of your situation”. I don’t think we shout that enough!  It aims to put the focus on Him, not on us!

Let me know what you think!
