Great is the Lord lyrics
Great Is the Lord
A Gospel-Style song inspired by (Psalm 48)
Verse 1
Great is the Lord—oh yes, He is!
Great in His mountain, great in His peace.
Zion stands shining, lifted so high,
Joy of the whole world under God’s sky.
Walk through His city, step by step,
See how His goodness has never left.
Walls still strong, His mercy wide—
Our God is faithful on every side.
Chous
O-oh, great is the Lord, our King forevermore.
From age to age His love remains,
Our praise is what we’re living for.
Verse 2
Kings came near with trembling hands,
But couldn’t stand where His glory stands.
Storm winds broke and shadows fled—
God gave His people peace instead.
Like a mother’s song through the longest night,
Like a father’s hand lifting us to light,
His name is praise, His ways are true,
What He has spoken, He will do.
Chorus
O-oh, great is the Lord, our King forevermore.
From age to age His love remains,
Our praise is what we’re living for.
Bridge
So mark each step, tell each child,
How God has kept us all the while.
This God is ours forever strong—
And we’ll sing His greatness all life long
.Vamp
Great is the Lord—oh yes, He is!
Great in His mountain, great in His peace!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah—
Great is the Lord!
