Lyrics
Verse 1
Who is moving on the waters, who is holding up the moon
Who is peeling back the darkness, with the burning light of noon
Who is standing on the mountains, who is on the earth below
Who is bigger than the heavens, and He's the lover of my soul
Chorus
Creator God, He is Yahweh, The Great I am, He is Yahweh
The Lord of all, He is Yahweh
Rose of Sharon, He is Yahweh, The Righteous Son, He is Yahweh
The Three in One, He is Yahweh
Verse 2
Who is He that makes me happy, who is He that brings me peace
Who is He that brings me comfort, and turns my bitter into sweet
Who is stirring up my passion, who is rising up in me
Who is filling up my hunger, with everything I need
Chorus (Repeat)
Bridge
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh

Meaning & Inspiration
"He Is Yahweh" is structured almost entirely as a series of questions answered by the same repeated name. The first verse asks who moves on the waters, holds up the moon, and stands on the mountains, framing creation itself as evidence pointing toward one specific answer rather than leaving the questions open-ended. The chorus supplies that answer directly, naming God as Creator, the Great I Am, and Lord of all, while also drawing on more intimate biblical titles like Rose of Sharon and Three in One, mixing cosmic scale with tender imagery in the same breath. A second verse shifts the questions from cosmic description to personal experience, asking who brings happiness, peace, comfort, and turns bitterness into sweetness, applying the same pattern of question and named answer to everyday emotional needs. The bridge strips the song down to its simplest form, repeating only the name Yahweh without further explanation, letting the name itself stand as the complete answer to everything asked before it. Structurally the song's question-and-answer format functions as a teaching device, walking a listener from wondering who is responsible for the world to naming that same God as personally responsible for their own well-being.
