Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
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
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Name above all names
Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
You're the name above all names
You are worthy of our praise
And my heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
The whole world sings, the whole world sings
How great is our God
How great is our God
How great, how great is our God

I considered the question... "What is 'Pure Joy'?" and came to the conclusion it is in nature.
"Pure Joy" - For me the landscape is somewhat remote; and incredible.
Add to this an extraordinary sunset, God's miracle paint brush, colors lighting up the sky.
Then capture the 1 - 2 minutes where the Sunset and the Landscape capture you completely. That narrow peak.
Before the peak the colors are developing. After the peak you are remembering you need to get home to make dinner.
But for 1 minute, while completely captivated, that is "Pure Joy".
Add to this
relationship, holding hands with the one you love. Sharing this Joy. And through this enhancing it...You have what I would define as "Pure Joy"
I question whether this, "Pure Joy", is what the Seraphim of Isaiah chapter 6 have found.?.
In this, "Pure Joy", I find God. Or perhaps in seeking Jesus Christ, I am able to find this, "Pure Joy".
God is good, All the time... All the time, God is good.
