A praise and worship team turned in a soul-stirring cover of Phil Wickham’s “This is Our God.” This is a lovely cover of one of the most beloved and popular contemporary Christian songs. The video and the delightful performance deserve to be heard and watched multiple times.

Hymns will never be matched or bested. It’s simply not possible to do so, in my opinion. How could you ever come up with a better praise and worship tune than “How Great Thou Art,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness” or “Victory in Jesus?” There’s an easy answer to that question: It cannot be done. Oh, and let’s not forget the most iconic and beloved hymn of all time, “Amazing Grace.”

While hymns are still far and away the best choice for songs regarding church services, contemporary Christian music is still a formidable genre. Plenty of incredibly talented Christian musicians use their gift for sound to bring glory and honor to His name. Arguably, the most prominent and most talented contemporary Christian artist today is Phil Wickham. His tunes are widely heard on Christian radio and in houses of worship.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one praise and worship team performed Phil’s classic hit song, “This is Our God.” It’s a dazzling rendition of the song about our awesome, loving and mighty God that many have come to know and love.

While the performances in the short clip are noteworthy, the beautifully written lyrics are why people know and love this song. The words wonderfully and accurately tell of God’s love, grace, mercy and faithfulness. But as good as those lyrics are, they still fall short of adequately 

describing something too great for words and human comprehension.

The Lord is better, more loving and faithful than we deserve. There is no reason for Him to offer His love and forgiveness to us freely, yet He does.
