Lyrics
Oh
Expression of awe or wonder
We have come to testify
Declaration of a collective testimony
Oh
Reiteration of the sense of awe
Our God is surely great
Acknowledgment of the greatness of God
Oh
Reiteration of awe
His love is like a river wide
Description of God's love as expansive
So let everyone beneath his skies
Encouragement for everyone under God's sky to sing
Lift their voice and sing
Call to lift voices in song
For the kingdom of our God
Introduction of the theme of the Kingdom of God
Carries on
Repetition emphasizing the continuity of God's kingdom
Carries on
-Carries on
-Oh
Continuation of the kingdom theme
His kingdom is inside of you
Assertion that God's kingdom is within individuals
Oh
Expressing the ubiquity of God's kingdom and urging celebration
It's everywhere you are
-Oh
-Celebrate your life made new
-Come on let his freedom bloom
-Lift your voice and sing
Call to lift voices in celebration and freedom
For the kingdom of our God
Repetition emphasizing the endurance of God's kingdom
