Darlene Zschech - All The Power You Need Lyrics
Lyrics
My God can never fail
He's been proved time and again
Trust Him you'll see
He's got all the power you need
He's never early, never late
It takes courage and it takes faith
Trust Him you'll see
He's go all the power you need
He saves, forgives and heals
Takes back what the devil steals
My debt's been paid in full
And every day He does miracles
I got dreams turn them into plans
Too big for human hands
Turst Him you'll see
He's got all the power you need
He's real, He's real
Faith's a lot stronger
Than what you feel
He's real, He's real
I'm believing for miracles
Trust Him you'll see
He's got all the power you need
All the power you need

ALL THE POWER YOU NEED - HILLSONG
Meaning & Inspiration
Darlene Zschech’s "All The Power You Need," released on May 22, 2010, as part of the Hillsong worship catalog, serves as a profound anthem of unwavering trust in God’s omnipotence. This song isn't just a collection of verses; it's a testament, a lyrical sermon woven with threads of deep theological conviction and personal experience, aiming to anchor the soul in divine strength. It bypasses superficiality, immediately declaring God's absolute reliability and boundless capability, a message that has resonated deeply with countless individuals seeking a firm foundation in life's tumultuous seasons.
The song’s core narrative begins with a bold declaration that God "can never fail," a truth proven "time and again." This isn’t a blind assertion but a conviction rooted in the countless historical and personal testimonies of His faithfulness. The scripture echoes this sentiment, reminding us in Numbers 23:19 that "God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind," and Isaiah 40:28 confirms His eternal nature, stating, "The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom." The invitation to "Trust Him you'll see" positions faith not as a theoretical concept, but as an active step towards experiencing His all-sufficient power firsthand. This initial call to trust is quickly followed by an acknowledgment of God’s perfect timing: "He's never early, never late." This particular line addresses the human struggle with impatience and the desire for immediate answers, challenging us to cultivate both courage and faith. Waiting on God often requires significant fortitude, as Psalm 27:14 encourages, "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." It affirms that His plan unfolds with divine precision, aligning with Ecclesiastes 3:1, which states, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens," assuring us that His power operates within a perfect timeline, even when it feels stretched to our human perception.
The song then powerfully articulates the multifaceted nature of God's intervention in our lives, moving beyond general assurances to specific acts of grace. It paints a picture of a God who "saves, forgives and heals," reaching into the deepest parts of human brokenness. This echoes the comprehensive salvation offered through Christ, as described in Colossians 1:13-14, where we are "rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." Furthermore, the assertion that He "takes back what the devil steals" speaks to God’s redemptive justice and restorative power, bringing to mind John 10:10 where Jesus declares, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." The powerful statement "My debt's been paid in full" points directly to the finished work of the cross, as Colossians 2:13-14 profoundly states, He "canceled the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross." This comprehensive covering of salvation, restoration, and freedom culminates in the joyful proclamation that "every day He does miracles," a reminder that divine intervention is not a historical relic but an ongoing reality for those who believe.
As the song progresses, it shifts from general truth to a more personal application, inviting us to bring our "dreams turn them into plans" before Him, especially those "too big for human hands." This reflects a posture of surrender and faith-filled ambition, acknowledging that truly transformative visions often exceed our natural capabilities and require supernatural empowerment. Philippians 4:13 provides the bedrock for such belief, declaring, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," while Ephesians 3:20 inspires us with the truth that God "is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." The repeating call to "Trust Him you'll see, He's got all the power you need" acts as a rhythmic anchor, a constant reminder to re-center our focus on His infinite capacity. The bridge then introduces a crucial distinction between emotional experience and spiritual reality, asserting, "He's real, He's real / Faith's a lot stronger / Than what you feel." This powerful line addresses the common struggle where feelings of doubt, fear, or despair can overwhelm our intellectual understanding of God. It champions the biblical principle of walking by faith, not by sight, as articulated in 2 Corinthians 5:7, and reminds us that true faith is not contingent upon our fleeting emotions but on the unchanging character of God. This firm conviction leads naturally to the declaration, "I'm believing for miracles," a testament to an active, expectant faith that dares to look beyond the natural to the supernatural. The song concludes by echoing its central theme, cementing the message that in God, truly, we possess "all the power you need," a truth meant to encourage, embolden, and inspire a life lived in complete reliance on His limitless strength.
