Chorus
We've got a great big wonderful God
A great big wonderful God
A God that loves every one of us
Done so much for all of us
Great big wonderful God
(repeat)
He never, never, never leaves us
He's always standing by
To pick us up if we stumble
We're the apple of His eye

Meaning & Inspiration
Great Big Wonderful God is a simple, joyful song that praises God for His size, His love and His faithfulness. The chorus repeats the phrase "a great big wonderful God," describing a God who loves every one of His people and has done so much for all of them. The short, plain words are meant to be sung by a group, with a note to repeat the chorus.
The verse adds that He never leaves, is always standing by, and picks up those who stumble, and it ends with the picture of God's people being the apple of His eye. The lines fit Psalm 17:8 on being kept as the apple of the eye, Deuteronomy 31:6 on God never leaving or forsaking, and Psalm 37:24 on being upheld when falling. The easy, singable wording, clap-along repetition and warm, child-like praise make the song a good fit for a family or children's service, and its tone is cheerful, trusting and thankful.
