Lyrics
Your church sings in chorus
To tell how great and glorious You are God
Our hearts respond to greatness, God
There is no other name that is higher
All around the world we sing your praises out
Your name is great, we celebrate
Jesus, your fame is what we’re living for
A life of praise, we celebrate
Your people gather to proclaim
The rising anthem of your name, God
Our hearts respond to greatness, God
There is no other name that is higher
All around the world we sing your praises out
Your name is great, we celebrate
Jesus, your fame is what we’re living for
A life of praise, we celebrate
We listen and we move, our hearts respond to you
We listen and we move, our hearts respond to you

Meaning & Inspiration
“All Around the World” presents praise as the shared response of the church to the greatness of God. Its images of gathered people, a rising anthem, and voices singing across the world give the song a communal focus. Jesus’ name stands at the center, described as higher than every other name and worthy of celebration. The repeated chorus reinforces a life directed toward making his fame known through continual praise.
The lyric also joins worship with attentiveness: hearts listen, respond, and move toward God. That movement suggests praise is more than spoken admiration; it becomes a way of living shaped by who Jesus is. The worldwide scope recalls the biblical picture of every nation honoring God, while the emphasis on Christ’s exalted name closely echoes passages that describe every knee bowing before him. The result is a direct congregational declaration of God’s greatness and the church’s purpose in celebrating Jesus together.
