Ricky Dillard - God Is Great Lyrics

This short congregational song by Ricky Dillard declares the greatness of God in a few plain statements. The verse lists three qualities in parallel lines: His greatness cannot be fully grasped, His love is unconditional, and His power cannot be beaten. The closing line, "Great is the God we serve," turns the list into a statement of loyalty.

The chorus borrows its wording from the Psalms, where the phrase "great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised" appears more than once. Repeating it three times gives a choir or congregation a simple line to build on, and the outro returns to it once more.

Because the words are brief and easy to learn, the song fits the opening of a service, a call to praise, or a time when a group wants to lift a single declaration together. It is best sung with a rising dynamic, as the repeated chorus is meant to grow with each pass.
