Our God is Great

Did you sing it as a child?


“Our God is so great, so strong and so mighty there’s nothing my God cannot do. My God is so great so strong and so mighty there’s nothing my God cannot do. The mountains are His, the rivers are His, the stars are His handiwork too. My God is so great so strong and so mighty, there’s nothing my God cannot do . . . FOR YOU!’

Or maybe your roots go even a little farther back to,

“He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, the wealth in every mine. He owns the rivers and the rocks and rills, the sun and stars that shine. Wonderful riches more than tongue can tell. He is my Father so their mine as well. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, I know that He will care for me.”

John W. Peterson

There is truly none like our God. None can compare! His greatness goes back far beyond what we know as history. “. . . Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth . . .” (v. v.21&22) His greatness is historical.

His might is also universal. “Lift you eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing” (v. 26) There is no place where our God is not. His greatness is universal.

Marvelous phenomenon . . . His might, His greatness, His strength, His power are not diminishing as the years go by. “. . . The LORD is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary. . .” His greatness is eternal!

We can draw from Him when we are weary, trust Him for more strength when ours has failed. “. . . But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (v. 31)

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee,

How Great Thou art!

How great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee,

How great thou art!

How great thou art!

Stuart K. Hine

Our humble praise we bring, Almighty King! We wait on You alone — we hope in You! Our love — our lives are Yours!

Take it with You
“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his
understanding no one can fathom.” Isaiah 40:28
