Songs of Scripture
Welcome to Songs of Scripture, where we link Scripture with the lyrics of Christian songs, worship choruses, and hymns.
While we are (hopefully) still thinking about the ways that God is worthy this month, I wanted to send out another song that helps us worship him. This song was perfect for that! And it comes with an extra challenge.
How many characteristics of God can you identify in this song from the six lessons we’ve had? I found 15! Can you find more? If you find one (or more), write it in the comments until we cover them all!
