Water You turned into wine
Opened the eyes of the blind
There’s no one like You, none like You
Into the darkness You shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There’s no one like You, none like You
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God
And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what could stand against
And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what could stand against.
What could stand against

Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him]
and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist],
because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.
1 John 4:4 AMP
I was writing a devotional blog on 1 John 4:4 and this song got stuck in my head. Such a great reminder that we have nothing to fear. Our God IS greater than the enemy and anything he can throw at us. The Scriptures repeat this over and over again:
Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all gods,
because He did wonders when the Egyptians acted arrogantly against Israel.
Exodus 18:11 HCSB
David became greater and greater, for the Lord God of hosts was with him.
2 Samuel 5:10/1 Chronicles 11:9 NASB
And the temple which I build will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.
2 Chronicles 2:5 NKJV
Be strong and courageous.
Be not afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him,
for there is Another with us greater than [all those] with him.
2 Chronicles 32:7 AMP
Look, God is greater than we can understand.
Job 36:26 NLT
Greater than the roar of many waters—the mighty breakers of the sea—the Lord on high is majestic.
Psalm 93:4 HCSB
For I know that Yahweh is great; our Lord is greater than all gods.
Psalm 135:5 HCSB
On and on it goes—our God is Greater.
- Greater than any human being.
- Greater than all of our enemies.
- Greater than any obstacles or circumstances in our life.
- Greater than any of our mistakes, our failures, our flaws.
To quote MercyMe:
“There’ll be days I lose the battle
Grace says that it doesn’t matter
‘Cause the Cross already won the war
And greater is the One living inside of me
Than he who is living in the world.”
Our God is greater, stronger, higher than anyone or anything else. Period. His power is beyond our understanding. Since God is for us, who or what could ever stop us? Since God is with us, then what could ever stand against us?

Thank You, Lord! You are greater than any other and Your power far exceeds anything we could imagine. Thank You for lifting us out of the ashes and shining Your light on us. In Your precious name I pray, Amen – It is so!
