The Greatness Of Our God
Hillsong Live Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me eyes to see
More of who You are
May what I behold,
Still my anxious heart.
Take what I have known
And break it all apart
For You my God, are greater still.
No sky contains,
No doubt restrains,
All You are,
The greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close
To all You are,
The greatness of our God.

Give me grace to see
Beyond this moment here.
To believe that there
Is nothing left to fear.

That You alone are high above it all.
For You my God, are greater still.

No sky contains,
No doubt restrains,
All You are,
The greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close
To all You are,
The greatness of our God.

And there is nothing
That can ever separate us.
There is nothing that can ever
Separate us from Your love.
No life, no death, of this I am convinced.
You my God, are greater still.

And there is nothing
That can ever separate us.
There is nothing that can ever
Separate us from Your love.
No life, no death, of this I am convinced.
You my God, are greater still.

And no words can say, or song convey,
All You are the greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close
To all You are,
The greatness of our God.

And no words can say, or song convey,
All You are the greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close




To all You are,
The greatness of our God.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hillsong Live's "The Greatness Of Our God" are a plea for God to reveal more of His true nature to the singer. The opening lines express a desire for clearer vision and a heart at peace. The singer then invokes God's power to completely transform their understanding of Him, breaking down any preconceived ideas or biases. The chorus emphasizes the incomprehensible greatness of God, stating that no sky can contain Him and no doubt can restrain Him. The second verse furthers this notion by asking for the grace to see beyond the present moment and to trust that everything is under God's sovereign control. The bridge reminds us that there is absolutely nothing that can come between us and God's love, not even life or death. The final refrain repeats the theme of God's infinite greatness and underscores the fact that we will spend our entire lives trying to grasp the fullness of His character.


At its core, "The Greatness Of Our God" is a worship song that seeks to capture the magnitude and awe-inspiring power of God. The repetition of the phrases "the greatness of our God" and "You my God, are greater still" creates a sense of reverence and humility, reminding us of our own smallness in comparison to God's vastness. The song also presents an invitation for listeners to fully immerse themselves in the process of uncovering who God truly is and to acknowledge that there will always be more to learn about Him.

Lord Jesus, take more of me and give me more of you.

Give me more of your forgiveness,
Give me more of your deliverance,
Give me more of your love,
Give me more of your courage,
Give me more of your faith,
Give me more of your patience,
Give me more of your grace,
In Jesus name amen.
