a song of veneration
Every now and again, I get hooked on one specific song.
This time my ears are featuring the sounds of Mac Powell and Fernando Ortega in Our Great God. I'm a total sucker for 6/8 time signatures, and this dandy is a SLOW 6/8. I also melt at the sound of borrowed minor IV chords...geez what a gorgeous sound from the tonic. If I could boast any more about this song, let me not fail to mention the lyrics...more than fitting for Divine veneration...
Eternal God, Unchanging
Mysterious and Unknown
Your boundless love, unfailing
in grace and mercy shown
bright seraphim and ceaseless light
around Your glorious throne
they raise their voices day and night
in praise to You alone
hallelujah! glory be to our Great GOD!
hallelujah! glory be to our Great GOD!
Lord, we are weak and frail
helpless in the storm
surround us with Your angels
hold us in Your arms
our cold and ruthless enemy
his pleasure is our harm
rise up, O Lord, and He will flee
before our Sovereign GOD
let every creature in the sea
and every flying bird
let every mountain, every field
and every valley of the earth
let all the moons and all the stars
in all the universe
sing praises to the Living GOD
Who rules them by His Word

Yeah, great song Adam. I love how it combines a slightly mysterious/dark sound and rich verse lyrics with a bright, simple, and worshipful chorus. Anyhow, good stuff.
