Grappling with Chris Tomlin

One of the most popular Christian worship songs going around for the past year is Chris Tomlin's "How Great is our God". It has been top 5 on CCLI's most popularly used worship songs for the past year or two, and it is quite an easy song to pick up and sing.

Tonight I've spent a good half hour picking this song apart and trying to figure out how to piece the meaning of the song together as a unified message... and it has definitely been an interesting adventure! Just to get the minds moving, here are the lyrics of the song... let me know if you have any thoughts.... I may post later with what I came up with, and some of my personal thoughts about the song..

The splendor of the 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

How great is our God, sing with me

How great is our God, and all will see

How great, how great is our God

Name above all names

Worthy of all praise

My heart will sing

How great is our God
