He will do a new thing, Heaven's pouring out

Come and see the chains break, see oppression lift
He can do it, I am sure of this (This)

So we lift Him up, we shout His praise

So we lift Him up, we shout His praise
He's more than a feeling, He's life in my veins
No matter my mountain, no matter it's name
He's done it and He will again

Meaning & Inspiration
The song is a confident declaration built on a repeated answer, "Yes, He will." The verses name what is hoped for, that God will overcome, fight, be strength, and heal hearts, and each request receives the same assurance. The structure works like a call and response that a congregation can sing back.
The chorus rests the confidence on past faithfulness: "He's done it and He will again." It also rejects a thin idea of faith with "He's more than a feeling, He's life in my veins," and says that the size of any mountain does not change the outcome. The bridge looks forward, saying "He will do a new thing, Heaven's pouring out" and picturing chains breaking and oppression lifting.
Isaiah 43:19 contains the new thing language, Exodus 14:14 says the Lord will fight for His people, and Isaiah 40:29 describes God giving strength to the weary, all of which match the verses closely.
