During the revolutionary war a story was told of a church service on Long Island that was interrupted by British Soldiers. The captain walked to the front of the church and demanded the people sing, “God Save the King”. The patriotic congregation rose to their feet as the organist began to play. But they did not sing the song the captain demanded. Instead they sang “Come Thou Almighty King”. The two songs at that time had the same tune but the words were far different. The colonists God to reign over them not the King of England.
Come Thou Almighty King
Help us Thy Name to sing
Help us to praise
Father all glorious
Over all victorious
Come and reign over us
Ancient of Days

Each verse of this is a great hymn emphasizes a person of the Trinity.
1. The Father
2. The Son
3. The Holy Spirit

The fourth verse is a majestic reminder of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Our God is the Great One in Three. He is great and mighty. And that is our second song of the morning. Great and Mighty is He! The chorus says, ” He is clothed in Glory and arrayed in splendor. Next will sing “He is the King of Glory”.
In the world this Sunday morning 1.5 Billion people will gather to worship our great and mighty God. He knows each one of us and cares about each life. He is greater than any problem we can experience. Our God is greater our God is stronger. Our God is higher than any other. Those are the words to a new song that I will teach you this Sunday. It is simply called “Our God”. Our last congregational song will be How Can I Keep From Singing Your Praise.
Remember, the God who walked in the flames with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the God who shut the mouths of the lions, the God who opened the eyes of the blind and made the lame to walk. He is the same God we serve today. How can we keep from singing His praise?. Join me this Sunday to Praise Our Great God!
