Meaning & Inspiration
Twila Paris's "God of All," released on January 1, 2006, as part of *Twila Paris: The Ultimate Collection*, stands as a powerful declaration of divine sovereignty and attributes, deeply rooted in biblical truth. The song's genesis seems to be an earnest desire to articulate the multifaceted nature of God, moving beyond singular descriptors to encompass the fullness of His being as revealed in Scripture. Its core message is one of unreserved praise, acknowledging that every aspect of God's character, from His glory and majesty to His mercy and holiness, is worthy of our highest adoration. The lyrics eschew complex theological jargon, instead offering a direct and accessible invitation to lift God's name. This directness mirrors the clarity of divine revelation itself, such as in Psalm 96:3, which urges, "Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples." The repetition of "God of all" serves not as redundancy, but as an emphatic affirmation of His all-encompassing power and presence.
The song's exploration of God's attributes resonates profoundly with scriptural narratives. When it speaks of God's "glory," we are reminded of passages like Exodus 33:18, where Moses pleads, "Show me your glory." The mention of "majesty" echoes the awe inspired by God's sovereign rule, as seen in 1 Chronicles 29:11, which states, "Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and on the earth." The inclusion of "mercy" brings to mind God's boundless compassion, a theme woven throughout the Bible, from His covenant faithfulness described in Nehemiah 9:17 to the profound statement in Ephesians 2:4, "But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us." Furthermore, the attributes of "holiness" and "righteousness" are central to understanding God's perfect nature. Isaiah 6:3 proclaims, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory," and Psalm 11:7 assures us that "the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall gaze on his face." The final affirmations of "goodness," "tenderness," "love," and "kindness" paint a picture of a benevolent Creator, as articulated in Psalm 23:6, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life," and Galatians 5:22, which lists "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness" as fruits of the Spirit. The overarching message of "God of All" is an invitation to contemplate these divine qualities and respond with unadulterated worship, recognizing that God is not merely a force or an idea, but a personal, all-sufficient, and loving deity who is worthy of our constant praise in all circumstances and across the entirety of our existence.
