I Sing Your Power

Description

"I Sing the Mighty Power of God" is one of the most beautiful hymns we have that describes God's glory and power displayed to us in creation. Romans 1:20 (NASB) says "since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made." God has displayed ample evidence of his nature and his power so that unbelieving people are without excuse. In fact, creation speaks so loudly of a creator that men often end up worshiping the creation (Rom 1:23). Meditating on God's goodness to us, shown even in creation, will help us worship God as he intends. The whole testimony of scripture is filled with evidence of worship as a result of beholding God's creation (see Psalm 8 for example). In this song, a chorus was added to add emphasis to the fact that God is not only our creator but also redeemer. He hasn't simply left us with the testimony of creation, but has furnished his son, the Lord Jesus, who came to redeem us, as proof of not only His existence, but his lovingkindness.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I sing the mighty power of God,
That made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at His command,
And all the stars obey.

Chorus:
I sing Your power, I sing Your glory,
That You displayed for all to see.
I sing Your goodness,
Your loving-kindness,
Of how You showed
Your love by redeeming me.

Verse 2:
I sing the goodness of the Lord,
That filled the earth with food,
He formed the creatures with His Word,
And then pronounced them good.
Lord, how Your wonders are displayed,
Where'er I turn my eye,
If I survey the ground I tread,
Or gaze upon the sky!

Verse 3:
There's not a plant or flower below,
But makes Your glories known,
And clouds arise, and tempests blow,
By order from Your throne;
While all that borrows life from You
Is ever in Your care;
And everywhere that man can be,
You, God are present there.

Words by Isaac Watts (1674-1748) and David Ward. Music by David L. Ward.
