Lyrics
Verse 1:
Hands that shaped the universe
You’re in everything we see
You set the earth in motion
You crafted every tree
Nothing in this world compares
To You and Your matchless power
The greatest gift, Your only Son
Jesus, Redeemer of all
Chorus:
For You are worthy
Our greatest Hero
You are deserving, of
All worship and praise
Verse 2:
Everyday I give You thanks
For Your life deep within me
Every day I live is for You
In Jesus, I believe
Everything I am and will be
(I) lay it at Your feet
Death it has no claim on me
You’ve won the victory
Bridge:
Worthy, Worthy, Lord, the highest praise we sing
Worthy, Worthy, God, the One true reigning King
Behind the song
‘Greatest Hero’ is a celebration of God as the ultimate hero. No matter who you are, everyone has a hero; a person or several people they admire and aspire to be like. It could be that they are notably successful, are a great sportsperson or leader, or maybe are well known figures for helping others or promoting awareness of issues such climate change . It could be a superhero (isn’t it interesting that a high proportion of superhero’s all seem to have a self professed mission to protect mankind?).
When Jesus walked the earth, He didn’t just have a self-professed mission to save the whole of mankind, many others testified of the fact long before and after He walked this earth, and 2000 years later we are still talking about Him!
Let’s marvel at our God who sent Jesus, the greatest hero of all time!
