This is a song I wrote shortly after being diagnosed with cancer.
It declares unfailing trust in God in the midst of trial and suffering. The reason we should worship God is simply because of who He is, not because of what he can do for us. This is worship!
It also speaks about God’s magnificent power and his ability to bring healing and freedom.

The earth shakes, and oceans roar
At the sound of your voice
At the sound of your voice
Nations tremble, and mountains bow
At the sound of your voice
At the sound of your voice
PRE-CHROUS
For you alone are God
And greatly to be praised
For you alone are God
And greatly to be praised
CHORUS
Brighter than a thousand suns, Jesus
Safer than my hiding place, Jesus
Bigger than my deepest need
Stronger than my deepest fear
Holy One it’s You we need
Jesus! Jesus!
Sickness withers, and darkness hides
At the sound of your name
At the sound of your name
Chains are broken, and fear flees
At the sound of your name
At the sound of your name
