Our Great God

This past week I've been enjoying my "Christian Favs" playlist on my iPod (BTW, anyone able to tell me how to put them on my current laptop??), and Fernando Ortega's song, "Our Great God" from his Storm album. Actually, I prefer the duet he did with Mac Powell (Third Day) on City on a Hill: Sing Alleluia, but for some reason, it's disappeared from my iPod. I guess I'll have to see if I can dig out the CD....

Anyway, it's a gorgeous, dramatic song, and here are the lyrics:

(Words and Music by Fernando Ortega and Johnnie Mac Powell)

Eternal God unchanging
Mysterious and unknown
Your boundless love unfailing
In grace and mercy shown

Bright seraphim in ceaseless flight
Around Your glorious throne
They raise their voices day and night
In praise to You alone

Chorus:

Hallelujah
Glory be to our great God
Hallelujah
Glory be to our great God

Lord we are weak and frail
Helpless in the storm
Surround us with Your angels
Hold us in Your arms

Our cold and ruthless enemy
His pleasure is our harm
Rise up O Lord and he will flee
Before our sovereign God

Chorus

Let every creature in the sea and
Every flying bird
Let every mountain every field
And valley of the earth

Let all the moons and all the stars
In all the universe
Sing praises to the living God
Who rules them by His Word

Chorus

*sigh* Just... uplifting!
