Lyrics
She's been praying to the Lord for a baby
It's been ten years and it seems all hope is gone
Sister Mary wipe your tears and don't you worry
It won't be long
You will sing a song
He can hold the tears in eyes and every heart
The doctor said they got few days to live
Ugochukwu dry your eyes and cry no more
Whose report, will you believe?
(Sing this song with me)
I have a very big God o
He's always by my side
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
Eze Jesus is my very big God
I have a very big God o
He's always by my side
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
Eze Jesus is my very big God
Now everybody is screaming hallelujah, Oh yeah
Sister Mary put to bed
On her knees she's saying thank you, thank you Jesus
She's smiling now
She got a song
And he can hum it, Scream it loud And jump it up
The doctor say the sickness is no more
Through this eyes tears of joy came rolling down
He had a smile
And he got a song
(Everybody sing with me)
I have a very big God o
He's always by my side
I'm Not afraid of tomorrow
Eze Jesus is my very big God
I have a very big God o
He's always by my side oh
I'm Not afraid of tomorrow
Eze Jesus is my very big God
(Put your hands together)
I have a very big God o
He's always by my side
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
Eze Jesus is my very big God
I have a very big God o
He's always by my side
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
Eze Jesus is my very big God

Meaning & Inspiration
“Very Big God” presents two stories of prolonged distress answered by divine help. One concerns a woman waiting for a child; the other concerns a person facing a grave medical report. Both scenes move from tears and fear to thanksgiving, while the recurring chorus identifies Jesus as present, great, and sufficient for an uncertain tomorrow. The testimony-like structure gives the song an African gospel call-and-response energy without making the verses merely abstract statements.
The question “Whose report will you believe?” closely echoes Isaiah 53:1 and places competing reports beside confidence in God. The chorus also shares the assurance of Psalm 46:1, which describes God as a refuge and present help in trouble. The lyrics frame healing and answered prayer as reasons for praise, while their strongest emphasis remains God’s nearness in adversity. Repetition of “He’s always by my side” makes that presence the foundation for courage rather than the absence of difficult circumstances.
