for KING & COUNTRY - For God Is With Us Lyrics
Lyrics
Dare to imagine
Dare to believe in
A true love that gave us
A brand-new beginning
No room for a king
No celebration and no ceremony
In that little town
No, nobody would think
This is the story of the coming glory
Can you hear the prayers the people prayed?
Can you see the skies begin to break?
When Heaven and Earth were face-to-face
Oh, how the world forever changed
For God is with us
God is with us
All in a moment
All in an instant
The body was broken
And it was finished
So let us begin
The celebration and the ceremony
There's silence on Earth but the heavens are roaring
Telling the story of the coming glory
Can you feel your heart begin to race?
Can you see the tide begin to change?
With all of our futures rearranged
The world will never be the same
For God is with us
God is with us
For God is with us
(Oh, can we sing, oh, can we sing)
God is with us
(Oh, can we hear, oh, can we hear)
For God is with us
Dare to imagine
Dare to believe in
A true love that gave us
A reason for living
Can you feel the hope that's rushing in?
Can you hear the song that's echoing?
Join with the choir as we sing
This is where love truly begins
For God is with us
God is with us
For God is with us
(Oh, can we sing, oh, can we sing)
God is with us
(Oh, can we hear, oh, can we hear)
For God is with us
(Oh, can you say, oh, can you say)
God is with us

Meaning & Inspiration
"For God Is With Us," a track from for KING & COUNTRY's 2022 album *What Are We Waiting For?*, powerfully centers on the profound truth of Emmanuel, God with us, a message deeply rooted in the Christmas narrative and resonating throughout the entirety of Scripture. The song doesn't just celebrate a historical event; it proclaims an enduring reality – that in moments of profound difficulty, overwhelming doubt, and even the deepest valleys of life, God’s presence is a steadfast anchor. This theme echoes the promise given in Isaiah 43:2, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you." The song's core message is an invitation to find solace and strength in this divine accompaniment, reminding believers that they are never truly alone, even when circumstances suggest otherwise. This is the very essence of what the incarnation signifies: God entering into humanity's experience, sharing in our joys and our sorrows, as foretold in Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel." The lyrics encourage listeners to recall this foundational tenet of faith, to anchor their hope not in fleeting circumstances but in the immutable character of God, who declared through Isaiah 41:10, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." The song’s intent is to stir a renewed conviction that regardless of the storms faced, the presence of God is the ultimate assurance, a truth that sustained individuals throughout biblical history, from Joseph in Egypt to David facing Goliath, and continues to empower believers today. It’s a reminder that through every trial, the unshakeable truth remains: "For God Is With Us," a promise that underpins the Christian walk and offers enduring hope.
