A quiet hymn with eternal weight.

This is a meditative, piano-backed arrangement of Isaac Watts’ powerful reflection on God’s infinite greatness and our humble place before Him. Memom & The Punk Monkeys offer a simple, reverent interpretation, letting the timeless words speak clearly and worshipfully.

Originally penned in 1707, “Great God, How Infinite Art Thou” reminds us that while our lives are fleeting, God’s glory is beyond measure, His throne eternal.

Album: Old Paths, New Voices
Artist: Memom & The Punk Monkeys

This isn’t your grandpa’s hymn, or maybe it is, just with a steel guitar and a heartbeat that echoes eternity. In this modern country cover of Isaac Watts' The Eternity of God, we’ve taken ancient words and set them to a reverent, rootsy melody that honors their weight without dressing them in denim too tight.

Watts wrote from a deep place of awe, marveling at the eternal nature of God long before the modern world lost its wonder. We aim to bring some of that wonder back. with warm harmonies, honest instrumentation, and a tempo that lets the truth breathe.

"He fills his own immortal NOW." That line alone makes you want to set your phone down and lift your eyes up.

Recorded with respect. Sung with conviction. Played with grit and grace.

Endless Day

Originally penned by R. Burnham and rooted in the unshakable truths of Scripture, The Power of God has been reimagined here as a soaring power ballad, rich with conviction, bold melody lines, and lyrics that go to war with fear and hell itself.

Every line is a declaration: God is our strength. Christ has conquered. And the redeemed can rise, not by grit, but by grace. From trembling saints to triumphant praise, this hymn traces the arc of gospel power with every note.

Turn it up. Let your heart be lifted. And let the victories of the Lamb ring loud in your soul.

Triumph In the Power of God

He reigns and now He reigns to a beat.

Inspired by Job 23:13 and Romans 9:15–18, this track takes the timeless truths of divine rule, providence, and grace and infuses them with driving synths, cinematic drops, and a rhythm that won’t let go.

Watts' haunting poetry meets modern production in a reverent rave of worship. Every beat pulses with providence. Every lyric is a reminder: God does not ask permission to be God.

🎧 For those who want their theology loud, clear, and impossible not to move to.

Key Verses:
Job 23:13 – “But he is unchangeable, and who can turn him back? What he desires, that he does.”

The Book Of Life

This powerful hymn by Isaac Watts opens a window into the mind of God, as revealed in the gospel. With poetic brilliance and theological precision, Watts draws us into the majesty of divine wisdom, not hidden in mysticism or philosophy, but shining clearly in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

From the Father’s invitation in stanza one to the angelic awe of stanza two, each verse pulls back the veil on eternal truths once hidden, now made known. The gospel becomes the grand theater of God’s wisdom where justice and mercy meet, where the Law bows before Christ, and where grace radiates in every direction.

Verse by verse, we’re reminded that God’s wisdom isn’t merely abstract or academic, it’s deeply personal, sacrificial, and glorious. His revenging justice is satisfied in Christ’s blood, but it’s the “lustre of thy grace” that captures our hearts and stirs our joy.

Boundless Love and Glories

This hymn by Samuel Medley is a timeless reminder that behind every trial, every unanswered question, and every tear is a God who is both infinitely wise and endlessly kind. Anchored in the truth of Exodus 34:6, the refrain "Too wise to be mistaken, too good to be unkind" rings out as both confession and comfort for the weary soul.

Medley’s words wrestle honestly with the hiddenness of God’s providence, yet they never fall into despair. When afflictions weigh heavy or Satan whispers lies, the believer is called back to trust in the unchanging character of God. Even when we cannot trace His hand, we can trust His heart.

This hymn isn’t light and fluffy, it’s forged in the fire of suffering, but it shines with gospel hope. Each stanza walks through life’s valleys with a steady step, fixing the eyes of faith on a sovereign and compassionate God who does not err, forget, or fail. And one day, when all is revealed, we’ll echo the same refrain in heaven's clear light: “He was too wise to err, and O, too good to be unkind.”

Too Wise to Be Mistaken

Hey Guyz – The chaotic, laugh-out-loud banger for anyone who’s ever been trapped in a game lobby with that kid. From headset feedback to non-stop commentary and mic-breathing like he’s running a marathon, this track captures every hilarious, headache-inducing moment. Fast-paced, over-the-top, and dripping with gamer energy, it’s an anthem for the squad who knows they’re going to lose… but can’t stop laughing.

Hey Guyz!

A hymn forged in the fires of eternity, now unleashed with the full force of metal. J. Stocker’s 18th-century text roars with timeless truth; God’s mercy in Christ is our only boast, our song, our life.

This track takes the rich theology of the hymn and drives it with heavy riffs, thunderous drums, and vocals that echo both the agony of the cross and the triumph of grace. From the opening cry of mercy to the closing praise of Father, Son, and Spirit, this is doxology at full volume.

 Lyrics proclaim: mercy that rescues from hell, grace that revives the weary, love that keeps sinners alive, and a covenant sealed by the Spirit.

For those who want their theology loud, their worship raw, and their hope unshakable; this is mercy set to metal.

Thy Mercy My God

This is a fresh retuning of R. Burnham’s hymn “The All-Sufficient Mercy of God” (based on Psalm 89:28). Originally written in the 18th century, the text is a rich meditation on God’s unfailing mercy—mercy that forgives, heals, upholds, and leads us home to glory.

The new melody seeks to give voice to these timeless words in a way that is singable for the church today while retaining the weight and beauty of the original hymn.

May this song help you lift your eyes to the Savior, who is rich in mercy and steadfast in love.

Key Themes:
– The eternal reign of God’s mercy
– Mercy in conversion, forgiveness, and healing
– Mercy in suffering and perseverance
– The triumph of mercy that brings us to glory

"My steadfast love I will keep for him forever, and my covenant will stand firm for him." – Psalm 89:2

Infinite Mercy

This is a fresh retuned version of J. Hart’s timeless hymn “The Everlasting Mercy of God” (based on Psalm 136; 100:5). The lyrics highlight God’s unchanging mercy, the power of Christ’s blood, and the hope believers have in His steadfast love.

The hymn reminds us that even when we have sinned deeply, God’s mercy is not shaken—His favor stands because we have been bought with the blood of Christ. It is a testimony that no matter our failures, we have in Him a never-changing Friend when all others fail.

May this retuned setting help both old and new generations sing of the mercy that endures forever.

God's Mercy Is Forever Sure

This is a fresh retuning of Isaac Watts’ hymn Faithfulness of God (Numb. 23:19; Psalm 89:1–8). Watts’ timeless text calls believers to proclaim the steadfast faithfulness, power, and saving promises of our eternal King. The hymn points us to the unshakable truth that every word from God’s mouth is as sure as the heavens He created.

Our retuned version seeks to carry these weighty lyrics into a new musical setting, helping modern ears and voices rejoice in the same ancient truths. May this melody lift your heart to sing of the God whose promises never fail and whose salvation is written with an immortal pen.

“His every word of grace is strong as that which built the skies.”

Mighty Works of Our King

This retuned hymn draws from the timeless words of Isaac Watts and J. Needham, echoing Psalm 111:9 and 145:17. It lifts our eyes to the majesty of the eternal God—holy beyond comparison, radiant above angels, and righteous in all His ways.

The text reminds us that only those who are clothed in Christ may draw near, finding joy in His presence and worshiping at His feet forever. With a fresh melody carrying the weight of these profound lyrics, this retuning seeks to help the church sing again of the incomparable holiness of our Lord.

"Holy, holy, holy Lord, in glory evermore."

Holy Is He In All His Works

This retuned hymn by R. Burnham is drawn from the rich testimony of Scripture—Leviticus 19:2, 1 Samuel 2:2, and Hebrews 12:14—declaring that our God is holy and that His people are called to share in His holiness.

The text beautifully unfolds the work of the Trinity: the Father giving His holy Son, the Son shedding His blood for sinners, and the Spirit applying grace to make God’s children holy. It captures both the struggle and delight of believers who long to grow in holiness while walking this earthly life, led by the Spirit and cleansed by Christ’s blood.

With a new melody to carry its timeless words, this retuning seeks to help God’s people sing with joy of His holiness and the sanctifying work He is accomplishing in us.

"The Father is a holy God; His holy Son He gave."

Holiness to Feel

This retuned hymn, Harmony of the Perfections of God by W. Tucker (Rom. 3:26), sets to new music a text rich with gospel truth. Tucker marvels at the wonder of God’s plan of salvation, where His perfections—wisdom, justice, mercy, and love—converge in Christ. At the cross, justice receives its due, mercy reigns over the guilty, and love shines beyond conception.

The new melody is meant to help today’s church sing with fresh joy and awe over these timeless truths. Angels themselves stoop to gaze at the mystery, and we are invited to join the song: Christ is both the sacrifice that satisfies justice and the mercy-seat for sinners.

“Yes, mercy reigns, and justice too; in Christ they both harmonious meet.”

Mercy Reigns

When the band first formed in the cellar of McPhilbob’s parents’ home, they had no idea what they were getting themselves into.  They believed that nothing happens by chance and that God had given them a soapbox for a reason to impact the lives of people around the world.  Above all, their ultimate goal was to glorify God in everything that they do.  They believed that they are the greatest band of all time because they represent the greatest of all time, Jesus Christ.
