Lyrics
You give life, You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken
Great are You, Lord
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only
You give life, You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken
Great are You, Lord
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only
All the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are You, Lord
All the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are You, Lord
All the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are You, Lord
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only
To You only
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only
To You only

Meaning & Inspiration
Great Are You Lord praises God as the giver and restorer of life. Its opening lines name divine love, light, hope, and healing before answering each gift with the declaration that the Lord is great. The chorus then turns breath itself into an offering: because life comes from God, praise returns to Him. That image makes worship more than a response to favorable circumstances; it becomes the fitting use of every breath received.
The bridge widens the confession from an individual song to all the earth. Hearts cry out and bones sing, suggesting life restored where weakness or death once seemed decisive. Psalm 150:6 closely matches the chorus by calling everything with breath to praise the Lord. Psalm 66:1 likewise supports the vision of all the earth shouting praise to God. Repeated choruses reinforce the songs single direction, with every source of life, hope, and restoration leading back to worship. The lyric therefore joins personal gratitude with creation-wide praise, centering Gods greatness and the complete dependence of every living voice on Him.
