Festival Arrangement
Our God
Marcus Venables
Written for the Valby Corps Band in Denmark, this is a rhythmic and energetic arrangement of the song
made popular by worship artist Chris Tomlin.
Water you turned into wine, opened the eyes of the blind,
There’s no one like You, none like You.
Into the darkness You shine, out of the ashes we rise,
There’s no one like You, none like You.
Our God is greater, our God is stronger,
God, You are higher than any other.
Our God is healer, awesome in power,
Our God.
