The David Daughtry song "God Is Great" is a worship song that glorifies God and exalts his name.

The singer further emphasizes this by repeating this line and adding the phrase "Bless the Lord, O my soul" which is a reference to a biblical verse in Psalm 103:1.
The song's chorus is an expression of adoration as the singer extols the majesty of God and makes a vow to bow before him, lift hands and sing. The line "I get joy when I think about what he's done for me" shows the singer's gratitude towards God as he recalls the goodness of God in his life. As the song progresses, the singer urges the congregation to join in the praise and worship of God as they clap their hands, do a dance, and leap for joy in exaltation of God's name.
