Lyrics
Verse I:
He who sprinkled stars in heaven
Could do anything that He pleased
And He who formed the highest mountains
Is the God of all that was and is to be
Yet He chose to make His son a helpless baby
To become a willing sacrifice
His love unfolded right before our eyes
All along He knew that Jesus had to die
Chorus:
He's the God of all gods, the King of all kings
He's the great and mighty maker of all things
Yet this God of all gods and Lrod of all lords
chose to give His son for you and me
What a great God of all is He
Verse II:
He was moved by mercy and compassion
Only as a father's heart could be
This Lord could see our desperation
Yet we never even knew we had a need
Though He's the ruler of all ages
He bestowed the gift of His own blood
Who could comprehend the Lord of all
Would pay this priceless gift of love
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
His power is untold
What compassion we behold
No greater love has any other shown
What a great God of all is He!
Repeat Chorus

Meaning & Inspiration
"God of All Gods" sets divine majesty beside the humility of Christ's sacrifice. Images of stars, mountains, and creation establish God as sovereign over every age, while the account of the helpless baby turns attention toward mercy. The contrast gives the song its central meaning: the Maker of all things chose costly love rather than distance. Its chorus gathers those ideas into praise, naming God as King and Lord while emphasizing the gift of the Son.
The lyrics closely echo John 3:16 in their description of God giving the Son, and the bridge's claim that no greater love has been shown recalls John 15:13. The song also reflects Philippians 2:6-8, where Christ's humility and obedience lead to death. Together, these connections frame the piece as worship rooted in creation, incarnation, and redemption. Wonder is its dominant response, with divine power presented alongside compassion rather than separated from it.
