The song “How Great Is Our God,” which remains among the most iconic Christian tunes of contemporary times, is a collaborative masterpiece by Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves, and Ed Cash. Regrettably, its reputation is now being marred by accusations from the left, alleging it as an anthem for extremists.

Sean Feucht, famous for conducting enormous open-air worship sessions in Democrat-supporting regions during the pandemic, notably performed “How Great Is Our God.” Subsequently, it’s been tagged by the left as the preferred hymn for hardliners.

As documented by the Religious New Service:

Worship songs like “How Great Is Our God” work well at protests, regardless of what the protest is about. For example, she said, “Waymaker,” another hit song, was sung both at Black Lives Matters protests and at anti-vax rallies in 2020.The lyrics of a song like “How Great Is Our God” can be vague enough that verses describing the God of the Bible could easily be adapted to mean the God of America or the God of a particular group of people.

Religious historian Leah Payne said that she wonders, “When we consider ‘How Great Is Our God,’ the question arises – who exactly is the ‘our’?”

Matthew D. Taylor, a leading scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies, faults churchgoers seeking to worship in Democrat-leaning states.

Taylor explains that the COVID-19 pandemic intensified this divide, with Feucht and others transforming worship into a politically motivated act during lockdowns. Feucht took the initiative to organize spontaneous outdoor worship gatherings in places like Portland and Seattle, close to protest sites following George Floyd’s death.

Yup, remember blue states were fining and threatening churches.

So, according to the left, shouting “Death to America” on college campuses amounts to exercising free speech. However, participating in a religious service in response to governmental restrictions on worship while singing a hymn makes one an extremist.
