Lyrics
Here I am safe, in the arms of my Saviour
Deep in my heart, You are with me
Found in Your love, I am lost in Your presence
I will not fear, You are with me
Jesus You reign, You're the King of Glory
You are my vict'ry song
You are great
Greater than the world, has ever seen
Higher than the Heavens over me
You are great
No one in this world, can have Your fame
So let the earth declare Your holy Name
Jesus!
Here, at the cross, there is power to save us
Caught in Your beautiful grace
All; through the ages, eternally faithful
You are the rock, that we stand on
Yours is the Kingdom, that won't be shaken
Jesus, my vict'ry song
You are great
Greater than the world, has ever seen
Higher than the Heavens over me
You are great
No one in this world, can have Your fame
So let the earth declare Your holy Name
Jesus!
We; stand in awe
We; stand in awe
We; stand in awe
Jesus
We; stand in awe
We; stand in awe
We; stand in awe
Jesus
We; stand in awe
We; stand in awe
We; stand in awe
Jesus
We; stand in awe
We; stand in awe
We; stand in awe
Jesus!
You are great
Greater than the world, has ever seen
Higher than the Heavens over me
You are great
No one in this world, can have Your fame
So let the earth declare Your holy Name
Jesus!
We; stand in awe
We; stand in awe
We; stand in awe
Jesus!
We; stand in awe
We; stand in awe
We; stand in awe
Jesus!...

Meaning & Inspiration
“You Are Great” presents worship as a response to the security, grace, and authority found in Jesus. The opening images of safety in the Saviour’s arms and freedom from fear establish a personal confession of trust. From there, the lyric expands into praise of Christ as King of Glory, the source of victory, and the rock beneath faithful lives. The repeated declaration of greatness emphasizes that no earthly fame or measure can rival his holy name.
The song’s language aligns closely with Psalm 145:3, which declares the Lord’s greatness beyond searching. Its focus on saving power at the cross points toward 1 Corinthians 1:18, while the unshaken kingdom recalls Hebrews 12:28. Repetition in the closing expression of awe gives the lyric a congregational character, allowing adoration to become its central action. The result is a clear confession that Christ remains present, eternally faithful, and worthy of praise from the whole earth.
