Praise and glory to our infinitely great and intimate God and meditation on St. Catherine of Siena's words
"If you are what you should be, you will set the whole world ablaze!"
lyrics
How Great
Verse 1:
G C2 Em D G C2 D
How great, how great, how great you are
G C2 Em D G
Above all praise, in every way,
C2 D
you knew me from the start
C2 D
Each time I run to you, you know I don’t get far
Each time I pray Lord, that’s you in my heart
Each time I call to you, I only need to whisper
Each time I sing, oh my soul sings
Chorus:
G D Em
How great is our God, breather of stars,
D
of each intimate thought: the infinite
G D Em
How great is his name, who’s hands held no blame,
D
but they took hold of my shame
G C2 Em D G C2 D
He said just be who you are
Verse 2:
G C2 Em D G C2 D
How great, how great, how great you are
G C2 Em D G
Above every name, love meant to stay,
C2 D
given free, sacred heart
C2 D
Each time I run to you, it doesn’t matter that I’m so slow
Each time I pray Lord, I see how little I know
Each time I call to you, a whisper seems too loud
Each time I sing, its like I see how
<Chorus>
Bridge:
G Em C2
If we could just be who we are, who we are
D
We could set this world alight
G Em
If we could just be who we are,
C2
really who we were made to be
D
We could set this world on fire
G Em C2 D
Halleluia, halleluia, halleluia, these souls cry out
G Em C2 D
Halleluia, halleluia, halleluia, these souls cry out to you
