Highlights of Life

I only have a few songs by Hillsong… but the ones I’ve heard on youtube is enough to make me buy their album from iTunes.

This song is a very simple one… but it’s a pretty awesome song.  I expect that this is how Heaven would be like… in everyone praising God all together.  Really, nothing beats singing priase with all your heart and your soul. 

I think this song is just a bit of the song written and sung by Chris Tomlin.  But it’s still beautiful none-the-less.

Lyrics to HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD [Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves, Ed Cash]

Verse1
The splendor of the King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice

He wraps himself in Light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice

Chorus
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Verse2
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end

The Godhead three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

Bridge
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

Here is the original song in full by Chris Tomlin.    Which Hillsong has taken the chorus and bridge and used it in their worshp.  It’s a gorgeous song as well in full.

And here is a clip of Chris Tomlin himself, teaching us how to play  his song.  It’s it’s even better than the 2nd clip from YouTube actually.  You can feel the passion and honesty when he sings by himself, live with his guitar.

I absolutely love YouTube and the fact that people have actually walked you through how to play the guitar chords. Now I just have dust off my guitar, retune it, and relearn the chords and play it again. Either that, or buy a small piano. At least with the piano, it won’t be a challenge for me…but with guitar, I’ll truly have to learn. It’s been a few years since I’ve played it.
