This week’s featured song story comes to us from Phil Wickham. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his new single “Great Things.”
“The song Great Things was born out of necessity; I had been leading worship regularly at a church called Harvest Christian Fellowship for about 2 years and I found that we really needed more upbeat worship songs that were easy to catch on but still had something special and rich in them to start our services. I sat down over the next couple of weeks and started pouring over scripture and came upon this idea of people in the bible worshiping God as a God who does great things and I thought what a great title for a song full of praise and celebration. With that anchor, I homed in on how He has rescued us from death and conquered the grave. He breaks through the chains that we have to this world and all that comes with that and turns it into a life of freedom.” – Phil Wickham

“Great Things” Lyrics
Come let us worship our King
Come let us bow at His feet
He has done great things
See what our Savior has done
See how His love overcomes
He has done great things
He has done great things
CHORUS
Oh Hero of Heaven
You conquered the grave
You free every captive and break every chain
Oh God, You have done great things
We dance in Your freedom awake and alive
Oh Jesus our Savior Your name lifted High
Oh God You have done great things
You’ve been faithful through every storm
You’ll be faithful forevermore
You have done great things
And I know You will do it again
For Your promise is Yes and Amen
You will do great things You will do great things
BRIDGE
Hallelujah God above it all
Hallelujah God unshakable
Hallelujah You have done great things
(You’ve done great things)
