Lyrics
From the moment I opened my heart
You gave me Your love from heaven above
King of Glory, Jesus You'll always be mine
Lord I love You, it's all I can say
You amaze me every moment, every day
My creator, Jesus my Lord, always
Chorus:
From the depths of my heart to the heaven above
There I feel Your embrace and the warmth of Your love
I'm not afraid 'cause Jesus I know You are here
You are here...
You're my Saviour, redeeming grace
Generations will sing of Your praise
Be exalted forever and ever more
Back to CHORUS
Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise
Great is the Lord, glorified
(glorified....)
Back to CHORUS (2x)
You are here...
From the depths of my heart and to the heaven above
You are here
There I feel Your embrace and the warmth of Your love
You are here
Na na na na..... na na na na na...... (repeated)

Meaning & Inspiration
Great Is the Lord presents worship as a response to the love, presence, and saving grace of Jesus. The verses move from receiving divine love to praising Christ as Creator, Savior, and King of Glory. Its central image reaches from the depths of the heart toward heaven, while the recurring assurance that Jesus is present gives the song a tone of trust rather than fear. The declaration that the Lord is worthy of praise also places personal devotion within the praise offered by generations.
The refrain closely echoes biblical language about the greatness and praise of God. Psalm 48:1 calls the Lord great and greatly worthy of praise, matching the song’s principal declaration. The confidence expressed in Christ’s nearness may also be connected cautiously with Psalm 145:18, which describes the Lord as near to those who call on him in truth. Together, these themes frame the song as adoration rooted in grace, redemption, and confidence in God’s presence.
