Great Is The Lord (A Scripture Song) - sung by Jack Marti

Here is another scripture song I learned a long time ago. The first version I heard didn't include as many verses as this one, but later I heard someone else sing the other two verses, and I thought, that's the version I want to learn. Anyway here it is. It's got a really catchy tune, and I think you'll like it.


Great is the Lord,
And greatly to be praised
In the city of our God,
In the mountain of His holiness.
Beautiful for situation,
The joy of the whole earth,
Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
The city of the great King;
Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
The city of the great King.

Let mount Zion rejoice,
Let the daughters of Judah be glad,
Because of thy judgements
Walk about Zion. (refrain)
Beautiful...

For this God is our God
For ever and ever:
He will be our guide
Even unto death. (refrain)
Beautiful...

This is a very very important scripture and song! "Beautiful for situation" means that where ever God is worshipped IS the sides of the north of Mt. Zion!!!! I love it. You sing it perfectly!!!!

I learned this song when i was young as well, the Lord put it in my heart today, but i couldn't remember all the words. So i looked it up here and found your video. This is exactly the way we sang it when i was younger, just with the guitar or the organ and i think it's the best. Thank you so much and God Bless you :)

@2CEngland You're very welcome. I'm glad you were able to find the version you remembered. It's the only way I've ever heard it, other than the fact that I only knew the first verse for a long time before I ever heard anyone sing the other two verses. Blessings on you!
