Our God is a great big God

During family devotions, one of our favourite songs to sing and act out is "Our God is a great big God". The lyrics about God being "higher than a skyscraper" have become more meaningful since moving to Hong Kong, a city famous for its jagged skyline. It's so comforting to know that God is omnipresent and omnipotent "beyond our wildest dreams", yet we can each have His full and undivided attention any time we pray.


OUR GOD IS A GREAT BIG GOD
Our God is a great big God,
Our God is a great big God,
Our God is a great big God,
And he holds us in his hands.

He's higher than a sky scraper
and he's deeper than a submarine.
He's wider than the universe
and beyond my wildest dreams.
And he's known me, and he's loved me
since before the world began.
How wonderful to be a part of God's amazing plan!
