Graham Kendrick - Praise To Our God Lyrics
Lyrics
Praise to our God
Who alone is the mighty One
Robed in majesty
Come and bow down
Worship and adore
Bring to Him now
As an offering
A fragrance sweet
All the prayers of your
Heart to His throne
With thanksgiving come
The Lord almighty
His love endures forever
His grace and mercy
Ever sure
His power will never
Never fail or falter
Or His love grow cold

Praise to Our God - Graham Kendrick
Meaning & Inspiration
Graham Kendrick's "Praise to Our God," released in 2014, is a powerful declaration of divine sovereignty and enduring faithfulness, deeply rooted in biblical truth. From its opening lines, the song establishes God as the singular, almighty One, clothed in majesty, a truth echoed throughout Scripture, for instance, in Psalm 93:1 which states, "The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty; the Lord is armed with strength and made secure." The invitation to "come and bow down, worship and adore" directly calls us to the posture of reverence described in Psalm 95:6, "Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker." The offering brought to God is not merely a ritual but "a fragrance sweet," a beautiful metaphor for the sincere prayers of our hearts laid before His throne, reminiscent of Revelation 5:8, where the prayers of the saints are presented as golden vials full of incense. The emphasis on thanksgiving underscores the spirit of gratitude that should permeate our worship, aligning with passages like Psalm 100:4, "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name."
The song then shifts to a profound meditation on the unshakeable nature of God's character. The declaration, "The Lord almighty, His love endures forever," is a direct affirmation of the covenantal love God demonstrates, as proclaimed in Psalm 136, which repeatedly states, "His love endures forever." Similarly, the "grace and mercy, ever sure" points to the consistent outpouring of God's unmerited favor and compassion, a theme central to His dealings with humanity, as evidenced by Lamentations 3:22-23: "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." The assurance that "His power will never fail or falter, or His love grow cold" is a cornerstone of Christian belief, offering profound comfort and stability in a world of constant change. This unshakable power and steadfast love are the very foundation of our hope, a truth powerfully articulated in Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Kendrick’s composition, while focusing on this profound message, invites a response of humility, adoration, and an unwavering trust in the unchanging God.
