Grande É O Senhor / Great Are You Lord was recorded at a REVERE gathering of worship leaders from Brazil, the US, and the UK. Originally by All Sons & Daughters, the song resonated with churches around the world and was translated into multiple languages including Portuguese.

REVERE recorded it bilingually during an unscripted night of worship with Gabi Sampaio, a worship leader from Brazil, singing her heart out alongside SEU Worship’s Brazilian American artist Robson Galvao.

This is not only a great collaboration but one that truly captures the heart behind REVERE, a collective of worship leaders and church leaders who are artists, songwriters, and content creators who live out the reverential honor of God message, and champion it worldwide.

“Grande É O Senhor / Great Are You Lord” is available now.

ABOUT REVERE

REVERE is a growing movement focussing on restoring the humble and honouring nature of worship. A generation ago, Christianity went through a massive shift. The formality of corporate worship gave way to ‘intimacy’, and we were forever changed.
The ongoing work of the Spirit released us into ‘a spiritual intensity’, but our ultimate longing has always been a weighty encounter in the presence of God that is less about our contribution and more about our surrender.

REVERE is a musical journey from intimacy to intensity into the fear of the Lord, where we fall down and cry out: “Holy, holy, holy are You, Lord Almighty.”
Throughout history, the medium of our worship has communicated what we truly believe about God.

Whenever we have been in seasons of faith and healthy dependence, the medium has been reverential songs and liturgies that are soaked in honesty and humility, the Psalms being a case in point.

Whenever we have taken our eyes off the mark, we have replaced these with idols that we have been able to make with our own hands, substituting vulnerability with human ingenuity. If we are to be honest, we are facing this internal tug of war in the Church today. God forbid that our skills to produce and finesse cause us to move away from the simplicity and mystery of full surrender.

Our hope with REVERE is to gently help steer the Church away from a production culture where the emphasis can, mistakenly, become a love for worship, to a reverential cultural where the focus is, clearly and firmly, a love for Christ.
