Worthy of All Praise

What speaks to you of God's greatness and majesty?
As for me, it's nature. And particularly the sky.
It's also Christian music.
Mix them together and I'm in Heaven. :)


One of my new favorite songs is one that's actually been around awhile but has been re-recorded in a new edition:
"How Great is Our God (World Edition)" by Chris Tomlin

Not only does it have the original words in English, it also includes these other languages: Hindi, Indonesian, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Zulu, Africaans, and Mandarin.

Listening to this song, I can't help but think of these words of Revelation in the Bible which talk about the end of time when people from every nation and tribe will worship God:

"After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white and held palm branches in their hands. And they were shouting with a mighty shout, 'Salvation comes from our God on the throne and from the Lamb!' And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living beings. And they fell face down before the throne and worshiped God. They said, 'Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and forever. Amen!'" Revelation 7:9-12

God just leaves me speechless sometimes. This is one of those times. There's no limit to His greatness and even our best words of praise and thanksgiving to Him can't begin to express this. I love Him so much!

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise

My heart will sing

How great is our God
