He Is Great



Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan



I gave my heart to Jesus

When I was just a child

And though it seems like yesterday

It's been quite a while

I called upon the Savior

I bowed my head and prayed

That's the best decision

That I ever made



Every Sunday morning

In a church outside of town

Family, friends, and neighbors

All would gather round

When you neared the corner

You could hear the church bell ring

And when you reached the front door

You could hear the people sing



CHORUS:

He is great and greatly to be praised

In a world that's changing

He remains the same

He is faithful

He still saves

Give your heart to Jesus

And He'll wash your sins away



I went home last summer

And I tried to find my past

But all I found were withered boards

And panes of broken glass

I thought about that chapel

As I neared the edge of town

I couldn't help but wonder

If it was still around



And do they sing



CHORUS



I turned the corner

And I looked on down the road

Deep inside I thought it would be gone

But there were people everywhere

The parking lot was full

You know the little church

Was still going strong

They had a revival going on
