How great is our god Album:
Arriving [" Arriving " CD] 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 How great is our God, sing with me How great is our God, and all will see How great, how great is our God
