Behold Our God | Sovereign Grace Music

Today's Song is Behold Our God. Just one little note about 2 things I love about this song before I share the lyrics.

1. The line goes "Behold Our God, seated on His throne".. HIS throne. It could have easily said "seated on the throne" I doubt that anyone would think much about it saying 'the' throne instead of 'His'. But in that one word there is great significance. I believe we can often think of thrones in an earthly way, such as the throne of England. The throne is established and many people have sat on it. In reality there is only one throne, God's throne and it is HIS. No one else can sit on it, no one else can establish it, no one else is worthy. It is His throne for He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

2. This song takes me to Job 40. When we sing "who has held the oceans in his hand? who has numbered every grain of sand?" I think again of who God is. Who can question Him? Who can stand before Him? Go read Job 40 and be amazed at our God

Who has held the oceans in His hands?
Who has numbered every grain of sand?
Kings and nations tremble at His voice
All creation rises to rejoice

Chorus
Behold our God seated on His throne
Come, let us adore Him
Behold our King—nothing can compare
Come, let us adore Him
 
Who has given counsel to the Lord?
Who can question any of His words?
Who can teach the One who knows all things?
Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?

 Who has felt the nails upon His hands?
Bearing all the guilt of sinful man
God eternal, humbled to the grave
Jesus, Savior, risen now to reign

You will reign forever
Let Your glory fill the earth

(This song was written by Sovereign Grace Music, and theirs is my favorite version)
