Chris Tomlin’s ‘How Great Is Our God’ gets a soul-stirring cover by none other than Genavieve Linkowski. She once stood on the stage of American Idol to proclaim the power of the Gospel, and now she’s bringing the heart of Christ right to your eardrums. And you can’t help but close your eyes and listen. It’s a moment that hushes all the anxiety in your heart and ushers in the calm we so badly need on busy, bustling days.
There are moments in worship when time seems to slow, when the noise of the day fades, and the quiet power of God’s greatness fills every corner of your heart. Genavieve knows those moments well.
When she begins to sing this powerful song, you close your eyes and listen to her voice, tender yet mighty, as she wraps around the lyrics like a warm embrace. It hushes the anxiety that clings to your shoulders and ushers in the peace we all so desperately need.
The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the Earth rejoice
All the Earth rejoice...
I can’t help but get excited when the worship team at church strikes those first chords because you know it’s a chance to connect with our mighty God and be reminded just who He is. No matter the challenges, trials, or struggles, our Great God holds us in His hands. And Genavieve does such a beautiful job, too!
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end...
Genavieve’s voice carries the weight and wonder of the words, breathing fresh life into a song that has touched millions. She sings of the Godhead Three in One, the Lion and the Lamb, the Name above all names—truths that steady our souls and stir our worship. And as she lifts her voice, so do ours—joined in a chorus that spans every generation and every heart longing for hope.
My heart will sing
How great is our God
This song is a prayer, a praise, and a promise. And when Genavieve sings it, it becomes a moment to reconnect—with our Creator, our Savior, and our unshakable hope.
How great is our God, indeed.
“Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.” Psalm 145:3
