Todd Galberth - How Great Is Our God Lyrics

“How Great Is Our God” by Todd Galberth is a short, repeated praise song that borrows the well-known question of how great God is. It opens with “How great is our God, sing with me,” followed by “All will see how great, how great is our God.” The words are an invitation for others to join in and a statement that God’s greatness will be seen by all.

The main section is a pattern of action and response: “I lift my hands to give You glory, I lift my hands to give You praise,” followed by “I’ll praise You, Lord.” The lifted hands recall Psalm 134:2 and Psalm 63:4, and the claim that God is great is close to Psalm 145:3.

The ending repeats “I’ll praise You, Lord” many times, so the song works as a congregational chant, with a simple melody and few words. Its focus is on joining in worship and giving glory to God.
