Powerful praise anthem to the Lord... Award winner in 14th Annual Billboard World Songwriting Contest
Story behind the song
This is by far my chuch family's favorite song of mine. We sing this as a praise song in our worship service and I can't explain what happens...it is joy unspeakable and full of glory. Surprisingly it's the older saints who really seem to appreciate this song and enjoy singing it and ask for it all the time. And it blesses me so to know that those precious ones from "the greatest generation" are brought closer to the throne through this song...I love big songs!
Lyrics
You stepped out in the darkness...into eternal night
Your voice a thousand thunders...calling forth the light
You cast the stars a billion miles into their endless flight
You are God
You shaped the world and formed it in the hollow of your hand
You set the wind upon the earth to dry the barren land
You counted out the mountain peaks and every grain of sand
You are God
(chorus)
Youre the Lord of all creation...Master of all things
Ruler of the nations...You are the King of kings
Your majesty exceeds the host on high
Your glory fills the earth, the sea, the sky
You are God...
.
You knelt down in the dirt one day...there in paradise
You formed the man out of the clay and breathed the breathe of life
And though he hid himself from You ...You kept him in Your sight
You are God
And when it seemed sin would prevail and all our hope was lost
You stepped across the clouded veil to pay the awful cost
You wore the crown of thorns...You bore the rugged cross
You are God
(chorus)
Holy , holy ,holy...are You Lord almighty
Glory, glory, glory ...You are God
Your call is to the nations...to all who would believe
It echoes through the ages...Come and youll receive
Countless thankful hearts cry out to You on bended knee
You are God
Someday Youll come to earth again...creation will rejoice
And on that hallowed, holy land well cry out in one voice
Well sing our praises to You Lord ...well shout a joyful noise
You are God...
(chorus)(X2)
Holy , holy ,holy...are You Lord almighty
Glory, glory, glory ...You are God (repeat twice)
You are God...You are God...You are God...You are God!
