Lyrics
Verse 1
He's coming on the clouds
Kings and kingdoms will bow down
Every chain will break
As broken hearts declare His praise
For who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Chorus
Our God is the Lion, the Lion of Judah
He's roaring with power and fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world, His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before Him
Verse 2
Open up the gates
Make way before the King of kings
The God who comes to save
Is here to set the captives free
For who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Chorus
Our God is the Lion, the Lion of Judah
He's roaring with power and fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world, His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before Him
Bridge
For who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Who can stop the Lord?!
Chorus
Our God is the Lion, the Lion of Judah
He's roaring with power and fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world, His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before Him

Meaning & Inspiration
This song pairs two titles for Christ, the Lion of Judah and the Lamb that was slain, a pairing found in Revelation 5:5-6. The chorus declares that "Our God is the Lion" who fights battles with power, then that "Our God is the Lamb" whose blood "breaks the chains" of the sins of the world, and in both cases "every knee will bow".
The verses look ahead to a coming King, saying "He's coming on the clouds", that kings and kingdoms will bow down, and that every chain will break while broken hearts declare His praise. The kneeling language echoes Philippians 2:10-11. A repeated question carries the bridge: "Who can stop the Lord Almighty?"
The lyric holds strength and sacrifice together, naming both as belonging to the same God.
