Great Things
by Phil Wickham
Theology & Meaning
This upbeat song praises God for the great things He has done in rescuing His people and defeating the power of darkness. The focus stays on the work of Christ and the freedom believers have through Him. It is a celebration of grace that helps the church respond with joy and confidence in God's ongoing activity.
Worship Leadership Tips
This is a strong first or second song that can wake up a room and direct that energy toward the Lord. It fits well after baptisms or testimonies and can open a series about freedom or redemption. Encourage your team to smile and model joy so it does not feel like a fast song that is sung with serious faces.
Arrangement Tips
Rhythm section needs to be locked in so the tempo stays steady and does not rush. Keep melodic lines clear, especially in the verses where phrasing can go by quickly. If your congregation is new to it, consider repeating the chorus at the end with simpler instrumentation to let them own it.
