There Is a God

Theology & Meaning

There Is a God is a declaration against atheism and the practical atheism of living as if God were absent. Drawing on creation's witness to the existence and character of God (Psalm 19, Romans 1) and Paul's Areopagus declaration that in God we live and move and have our being, the song makes worship itself an apologetic statement. It declares not only that God exists but that the creation reveals Him and calls for a response of praise.

Worship Leadership Tips

Works well in services on creation, apologetics, or as an opening statement that frames everything that follows as a response to the God who is actually there. Hillsong's accessible production makes it easy to teach. Lead it with conviction that you are making a true statement about reality, not merely expressing a preference.

Arrangement Tips

Hillsong Worship's accessible mid-tempo style. Full band with clean electric guitar, piano, and steady rhythm. The declarative quality of the song suits confident, forward-moving dynamics. Build through the choruses to a full, open sound by the final section.
