Sing To The Lord

This is a new song that we just sung last weekend services. It's indeed a great song. The first time I listened to it, it sounded so familiar. Yes, it's Sing To The Lord from the album of THIS IS OUR GOD.

Recently in choir and from good musicians from the worship team, I've learned how to appreciate a song. Every song that I sang, I started to view the meaning of the song. I start to dissect every single part of the song. This is what I did for the song Sing To The Lord. Here's the lyrics and the song itself.

SING TO THE LORD (HILLSONG)

-verse1-
Righteous Ruler of the heavens
Holy, holy, our God
Sovereign Lord of all creation
Holy, holy, our God

-prechorus-
Every tribe and tongue
Lift your voice as one
He is greatly to be praised

-chorus-
Sing to the Lord, oh my soul
Let the heavens shout for joy
Great is our God
Great is our God

-verse2-
Nations come and bow before Him
Holy, holy, our God
Angels sing now and forever
Holy, holy, our God

-bridge-
The heavens shall declare }
The glory of our great God } (x3)
Jesus, come let us adore Him
Holy, holy, our God

-chorus-
Sing to the Lord, oh my soul
Let the heavens shout for joy
Great is our God
Great is our God

Great is our God
Great is our God

This song describes how great God is. Basically it's like the song is telling a story in itself. In the first verse, it describes who is God. He is Righteous, Ruler of the heavens, Holy, and He is the Sovereign and Lord of all creation.

As we go to the Pre-Chorus, it's like turning a page and we can see that it's a different approach. We sing, "every tribe and tongue lifting their voice as ONE!" The next page shows how people from different background, race and countries, such as Chinese, Indians, Malaysians, Africans, Indonesians, Koreans, and Mauritians! ^^, we can all lift our voice as one for our God is greatly to be praised.

Next part is the chorus, I love this part so much! Sing to the Lord O MY SOUL!!! As we sing this song, we ought to sing it with all our soul, all that is inside of us, just pour it out and make a joyful sound by singing out LOUD!!! As we sing with all our soul, the heavens will SHOUT FOR JOY!!! The heavens will shout that Great is Our God and He is the Great One! I went to check in the dictionary what is the meaning of the word GREAT. You'll be amazed to see how GREAT is the word GREAT is! :D

GREAT is unusually or comparatively LARGE in size or dimensions. It is unusual or considerable in Degree, Power, and Intensity. It is Wonderful and Very Good! It is being such in an Extreme or Notable degree. It is Remarkable, Notable and Exceptionally Outstanding (i love this one ^^). It is Distinguished; Famous, Chief or Principal. It is usually described as a person in a High Rank, Official Position, or Social Standing. It's also a person of Extraordinary Powers; having Unusual Merit and Very Admirable (i love that too ^^). Lastly it is also a person who is Skillful and is an Expert.

Wow!!! I'm also impressed by how GREAT is our GOD! =) This is beyond awesomeness!!!

Then when it comes to the 2nd verse, that Nations will come and bow before Him as we all sing with all our soul! As the Angels sing now and forever, we ought to sing the same as angels!

When it comes to the bridge, it's the most exciting part of the song. It's where the Heavens and the earth are connected. Well this is the picture that I had in my mind as I listened and sang this song. It's beautiful! Heavens shall declare the glory of our GREAT GOD! Again our GREAT GOD! Impressive right?

Well that's all that I have to share about this wonderful and beautiful song! WOW!!! This is GREAT! =)
