Behold Our God
Sovereign Grace Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who has held the oceans in His hands?
Who has numbered every grain of sand?
Kings and nations tremble at His voice
All creation rises to rejoice
CHORUS
Behold our God seated on His throne
Behold our King nothing can compare
Come let us adore Him!
VERSE 2
Who has given counsel to the Lord?
Who can question any of His Words?
Who can teach the One who knows all things?
Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?
VERSE 3
Who has felt the nails upon His hands
Bearing all the guilt of sinful man?
God eternal humbled to the grave
Jesus, Savior risen now to reign!
The lyrics to "Behold Our God" by Sovereign Grace Music remind us of the awe-inspiring power and majesty of God, who is the creator and sustainer of all things. The first verse poses rhetorical questions about God's greatness, implying that only He has the power to hold the oceans and number every grain of sand. The second verse highlights God's infinite wisdom and understanding, stating that no one can question His words or teach Him anything. This reminds us that God alone is sovereign and worthy of our praise and adoration. Finally, the third verse speaks to God's sacrificial love for humanity, as He was willing to suffer and die on the cross for our sins, and triumphed over death to reign forever as our Savior and King.

Sometimes I fill like I can't take this pain anymore. My life is filled with a lot of family problems and other stuff, but then I remember God is watching over me and is with me through all my hardship and he has a plan for my life. I LOVE YOU CHRIST❤❤❤❤

I have the same feeling : will I be able to bear that burden one more day ? I hope 4 years later you have a better life and you're not struggling anymore with your family problems.
I hope I'll soon be able to say : God was with me in the midst of my struggles, He had a plan for me and I can see now I haven't suffered for nothing.

I felt alone I have been hurt so that today I had that feeling again to just end it all then I heard from a friend and I poured it all out to him and then he sent me this song and I listened to it over and over and crying I thank God for putting him and his wife in my life Thank you God I give you all praise and glory
Nancy Wilson
I am so glad you had a friend who loved you enough to send these lyrics to you. I am grateful to God for saving you. I had a son who took his own life and as a mother I can't tell you the pain I still feel. The fact that you chose life is a blessing to me.

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
Hold on Sister, Christ loves you.
