Music for a Friday – “Doxology (Romans 11)”

After unpacking eleven chapters of profound, weighty (and, at times, complex) theology, the Apostle Paul spontaneously breaks forth into a prayer of praise.  Andrew Peterson’s “Doxology” is a simple but beautiful rendering of this passage.  It’s probably one of Peterson’s lesser known songs because it’s tucked away in the middle of Appendix A (a collection of “bootlegs and B-sides”).  And that’s unfortunate.  Singing Scripture is a tremendous way both to learn Scripture and to let it soak deep into your soul.

Oh the depth of the riches
Of the wisdom and knowledge of God
How unsearchable his judgment
How unknowable his paths

Who knows the mind of our God
And who can bring counsel to Him?
Who has given to God
That God should repay?

For from Him, through Him, to Him
Is everything

To God be the glory forever and ever
To God be the glory forever, amen

  1. I would like to have this song on my iPod but cannot find it on iTunes. I see the response above about the download of the album but I would prefer to not purchase the whole album but instead just this select song. Is there any possibility of this? GREAT SONG!!
