God Is Our Song

By Fred Pratt Green

Lyrics

1.  God is our Song, and every singer blest
Who praising Him finds energy and rest.
All who praise God with unaffected joy
Give back to us the wisdom we destroy,
Give back to us the wisdom we destroy.

2 God is our Song, for Jesus comes to save;
While praising Him we offer all we have.
New songs we sing, in ventures new unite,
When Jesus leads us upward into light,
When Jesus leads us upward into light.

3 This is our Song no conflict ever drowns;
Who praises God our human wrath disowns.
Love knows what rich complexities of sound
God builds upon a simple common ground,
God builds upon a simple common ground.

4 God is our Silence when no songs are sung,
When ecstasy or sorrow stills the tongue.
Glorious the faith which silently obeys
Until we find again the voice of praise,
Until we find again the voice of praise.

Bible Reference

Psalm 118:14

About This Hymn

“God Is Our Song” is a hymn of joyful thanksgiving written by Fred Pratt Green in 1975. The text draws directly from the biblical confession that the Lord Himself is the source and substance of His people’s praise. Green wrote the hymn to remind the church that worship does not begin with human emotion or musical skill, but with God’s saving action in history and His ongoing faithfulness.

The hymn celebrates God as the one who gives His people a song in every season of life. Praise is presented not merely as response to blessing, but as a testimony to God’s character and deeds. By echoing the song of Moses and the psalmists, the hymn connects contemporary worship with the long biblical tradition of praising God for deliverance, strength, and salvation.

A strong theme of the hymn is communal worship. Praise is not portrayed as an individual experience alone, but as the shared voice of God’s redeemed people. The church sings together because it has been rescued together. This corporate dimension reflects the biblical pattern in which God’s acts of salvation form a praising community that bears witness to His goodness.

The hymn also looks outward, recognizing that praise has a missional dimension. When God’s people sing of His faithfulness, others are drawn to consider the source of that joy. Worship thus becomes both thanksgiving and testimony. Green’s language is clear and accessible, ensuring that the message of the hymn remains grounded in Scripture and congregational participation.

“God Is Our Song” continues to serve the church as a reminder that true praise flows from God Himself. It calls believers to recognize that every song of worship is ultimately a response to God’s saving grace, sustaining presence, and unchanging faithfulness.
