Our Great God

by Fernando Ortega & Mac Powell

Theology & Meaning

A majestic declaration of God's sovereign greatness rooted in the Psalms and the creation narrative of Job. Emphasizes that the God who spoke the universe into being is the same God who draws near to His people—transcendence and immanence held together.

Worship Leadership Tips

A classic that works across contexts—strong for outdoor worship, large gatherings, or any service centered on God's majesty. The bold, declarative lyric serves well in services on creation care, God's sovereignty, or Advent.

Arrangement Tips

Acoustic-first arrangement with builds to full band. The song has a hymn-like quality that rewards simple, dignified presentation. Third Day's Mac Powell originally performed this with Fernando Ortega—a slightly rougher, organic feel suits it well.
