Kutless + Travis Greene - Impossible Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
In the beginning
It looked impossible
For God to create, fashion and make us beautiful
He holds it all
All is in control
So I’ll testify
Of the God I know
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh
I serve a God who does the impossible
Verse 2
From the heart of the author
My story came to be
And on that altar
He laid down His life for me
He is alive
He’s living in my soul
So I’ll testify
Of the God I know
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh
I serve a God who does the impossible
Bridge
Nothing's too great
Nothing's too strong
My God can do anything He wants
When seasons change
He’s in control
My God can do anything He wants-is possible
Nothing's too great
Nothing's too strong
My God can do anything He wants
One thing remains
He’s in control
My God can do anything He wants-is possible
Verse 3
He holds it all
And all is in control
So I’ll testify
Of the God I know
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh
I serve a God who does the impossible
***We serve the God who does the impossible
Vamp
He does the impossible

Meaning & Inspiration
Kutless and Travis Greene's powerful collaboration, "Impossible," released on April 7, 2023, as part of Kutless's album *Expect Impossible (NYE Live)*, is a profound declaration of faith that resonates deeply with the heart of Christian worship. The song masterfully unpacks the concept of God's omnipotence, drawing a direct line from creation to personal redemption. The opening verses immediately set a theological tone, reflecting on the seemingly impossible task of God bringing beauty and order out of nothingness, a testament to His creative power evident in Genesis 1. The repeated assertion that "He holds it all" and "All is in control" echoes verses like Colossians 1:17, which states that in Christ, all things hold together. This unwavering confidence in divine sovereignty forms the bedrock of the song's message, encouraging listeners to trust in a God who orchestrates every detail of existence.
The core of "Impossible" lies in its unwavering testimony to a God who transcends human limitations. The chorus, simple yet potent, proclaims, "I serve a God who does the impossible," a direct echo of the biblical narrative where God consistently intervenes in ways that defy natural explanation. This theme is powerfully illustrated in the second verse, which shifts to the personal testimony of salvation. The imagery of a story coming from the "heart of the author" and a life laid down on an altar speaks directly to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, as foretold and fulfilled in the Gospels. The resurrection, the ultimate "impossible" overcome, is captured in the affirmation, "He is alive, He’s living in my soul." This internal transformation is a central tenet of Christian belief, reflecting the indwelling Holy Spirit described in Romans 8:11.
The bridge section elevates the song’s theological weight by explicitly stating that "Nothing's too great" and "Nothing's too strong" for God. This is a robust affirmation of divine power, drawing parallels to numerous biblical accounts where God demonstrates His strength in the face of overwhelming odds, such as His deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt (Exodus 14) or His triumph over sin and death through Christ (1 Corinthians 15:55-57). The repeated phrase, "My God can do anything He wants," underscores the absolute sovereignty of God, aligning with passages like Ephesians 1:11 which states that God works all things according to the counsel of His will. The inclusion of "is possible" appended to this declaration creatively emphasizes that for God, even that which appears impossible to humanity is, in fact, entirely achievable. The song's concluding vamp, "He does the impossible," serves as a final, emphatic reminder that the Christian faith is rooted in the miraculous, offering hope and strength to all who believe. This track is more than just a song; it is a lyrical sermon, a vibrant declaration of a faith that finds its deepest strength and most profound expression in the God who makes the impossible a reality.
