About “O Great God”
Bob Kauflin wrote the hymn as a musical setting of the Puritan prayer 'Regeneration' from The Valley of Vision, the collection of Puritan prayers and devotions. Every song on Sovereign Grace Music's 2006 Valley of Vision album is based on a prayer from that book. Kauflin has said he wanted to set this particular prayer to music because it captures how often he asks God to do whatever is needed to make him love and glorify God more.
