Chris Tomlin - Psalm 100 Lyrics

“Psalm 100” turns the psalm’s invitation into a direct song of praise. Its opening call to enter the gates, come before God, and bring a song follows the biblical movement from joyful approach to grateful worship. The confession “We are His people, He is our God” identifies praise as the response of those who belong to the Lord and live under his care.

The chorus concentrates on the qualities Psalm 100 gives as reasons for thanksgiving: the Lord is good, his steadfast love endures, and his faithfulness has no end. Repetition gives those truths the weight of a congregational confession rather than a passing observation. The later call for all the earth to shout for joy broadens the song beyond an individual expression, while the mention of a new song suggests praise continually renewed by God’s enduring character. Throughout the lyric, worship is grounded not in changing circumstances but in who God is. Joy, gratitude, belonging, goodness, love, and faithfulness are joined in a simple summons to enter his presence with praise.
