The story behind Great Are You Lord

Leslie Jordan and David Leonard of the duo All Sons and Daughters wrote Great Are You Lord with their producer Jason Ingram. Logos dates the song to 2013, while PraiseCharts prints a 2012 copyright line. Logos reports that Leonard wanted a song to help his home church engage more in musical worship, something people could sing out with energy. The writers also wanted to show the value of praising God together, and they started from an idea of Matt Redman's about God's people worshiping in his presence. The article reads the bridge as an echo of Ezekiel 37, where God's breath brings dry bones to life, and sees believers made alive and free to praise. Integrity Music released the song with All Sons and Daughters. Other artists have recorded it, including One Sonic Society, which is Ingram's band, Casting Crowns, Passion with Matt Redman, and Michael W. Smith. The duo ended their run as a band in 2018, and Integrity released a collection of their songs.
