GREAT IS YOUR NAME

My Lord, great is your name,

Forever my heart will proclaim…

Your praise is on my lips from birth:

All creation sings of your worth!

–

Praises from heaven on high:

The Lord our God draws nigh…

Coming from above

Off’ring mercy and love.

–

The birds that fly–the fish in the sea–

Op’ning sweet flowers and the oak tree…

God made the flocks and herds,

All of creation declare His words.

–

The Lord set the stars to light the night

And gave His word as our light…

His coming proclaimed by a star,

Led wise men to Him from afar.

–

Who am I Lord that I should be

By you blessed and set free…

I am just a sinner, lost and alone,

But my soul you named your own!

–

Lord gracious, majestic and true,

i know I am nothing without you…

But in your love seeing me through

There isn’t anything the two of us can’t do!
