Faithful Is Our God - Hezekiah Walker
Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2016 as part of the album *Azusa the Next Generation 2 - Better*, Hezekiah Walker's "Great Is Our God" is a powerful declaration of divine majesty and faithfulness, resonating deeply with the core tenets of Christian worship. The song’s straightforward, repetitive structure is not a weakness but a deliberate strength, designed to imprint the central message onto the listener’s heart and mind. At its essence, "Great Is Our God" is an anthem of adoration, focusing on the unassailable character and active presence of God in the lives of believers. The repeated refrain, "Great is our God," acts as a grounding affirmation, a communal shout of recognition for the one who is sovereign, all-powerful, and ultimately, our Savior. This echoes the psalmist's call to worship in Psalm 145:3, "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable."
The lyrical content expands upon this foundational truth by highlighting specific attributes of God. The line, "Awesome in all of your ways," points to the incomprehensible and awe-inspiring nature of God's actions and plans, a sentiment found throughout Scripture, such as in Psalm 66:3, which states, "Say to God, 'How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies crumble before you.'" The song further emphasizes God’s benevolent provision, stating, "He gives his grace and strength." This speaks directly to the abundant, undeserved favor God bestows, enabling believers to navigate life's challenges. The Apostle Paul beautifully articulated this in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’" Similarly, the assurance that "All that is good and true comes from the Lord" aligns with the biblical understanding that God is the source of all goodness, as James 1:17 reminds us, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights." This profound truth culminates in the powerful acknowledgment that He "makes all things new," a promise woven through the fabric of the New Testament, particularly evident in Revelation 21:5, where God declares, "Behold, I am making all things new." This declaration of God's creative and redemptive power offers immense hope and confidence. The song’s unwavering focus on God’s greatness, His grace, strength, and His role as the ultimate source of all good and the renewer of all things, serves as a potent reminder of why He deserves our highest praise and unwavering trust, solidifying its place as a deeply meaningful piece of gospel music.
