about

He> (He is Greater) This song is inspired by the text of Philippians 2, which is about us aspiring to imitate the humility of Jesus. He was in nature God, but humbled himself to live a life that was fully human and submitted to great suffering for our sake. Paul wrote that if we can act like this we can 'shine like stars in the sky' and that seemed like a great image to build the song around.

lyrics

Verse 1
Jesus inspire us to be more like you
You who are equal with God
You humbled yourself to become fully man
Obedient to death on the cross

You are lifted high and honoured far beyond
Anyone and anything
Every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth
Declaring that you are the Lord
Because you are greater than all

Verse 2
We’ll work out our salvation with trembling and fear
With Jesus alive in our hearts
Children of God in a harsh broken world
Living and acting with grace

We can shine like stars in the darkness of the sky
As we hold firm to his word
And we can sing that we did not run in vain
Together we’re glad and rejoice
Because he is greater than all

Bridge
In the darkness of the sky we will shine. (x4)

Chorus
He is greater, he is greater, he is greater than every nation
He is greater, he is greater, he is greater than all creation
He is greater, he is greater, he is greater than imagination can conceive
He is greater, he is greater, he is greater than all
