Jimmy D Psalmist's song 'Great & Terrible' is a worship anthem that exalts God's majesty and power. The lyrics describe God as the Creator who sits in heaven yet dwells within believers, speaking in thunder and clothing Himself with fire. The repeated declaration 'Great and terrible God, yes You reign' emphasizes God's sovereignty and awe-inspiring nature. The song draws from biblical imagery of God's transcendence and immanence, inviting listeners to worship in reverence. It reflects themes of God's greatness, holiness, and kingship, encouraging faith and trust in His rule.

And make the earth your footstool
Yet you live in me
the river of life
With fire in your eyes
what a wonder you are
You built the earth
And roofed it with the heavens
No pillar no walls
You speak in thunder
and cloth with yards of fire
How terrible you are
Ewoh ewoh
Great and terrible God
Yes you reign
Elee elee

You're siteth in heaven
And make the earth your footstool
Yet you live in me
the river of life
With fire in your eyes
what a wonder you are
You built the earth
And roofed it with the heavens
No pillar no walls
You speak in thunder
and cloth with yards of fire
How terrible you are
