This song by songwriter Kip Fox is a great reminder of God’s faithfulness to His people. Though we so often turn away from God, choosing to do what we know we should not, He forgives us. In fact, He pursues us with a relentless love, and despite our infidelity, He is faithful to us even to the point of death on the cross.
The Doxology is often sung at the end of a hymn or sometimes alone at the end of a service. It is meant to focus the singer on the trinitarian nature of God. In this version, we’ve arranged it to be sung three times through in an effort to allow the singer to further meditate on the words.
This song came from a Lutheran understanding of worship, Gottesdienst, meaning, God's service or Divine Service. The idea that God comes to us in His gifts (baptism, His Word, communion) and we then respond to Him.
Words & Music by Kip Fox and Matt Arcaini
