Lyrics
Verse 1
Why would I worry when giants come calling my name?
My God is so much bigger than troubles I face
Why would I hunger for power or riches or fame?
Oh, my God is so much better than all of these things
Chorus
I won't be shaken and I won't be moved
My God is faithful, His promise is true
So I speak to the mountains, "Oh, it's time to move
'Cause my God is bigger, better, stronger, greater than you"
Verse 2
My enemies scatter 'cause they know the battle is done
My God is stronger, the victory is already won
Yeah, He died for my ransom and rose up on the third day
Oh, my God is greater than death, hell, and the grave
Chorus
Oh, I won't be shaken and I won't be moved
My God is faithful, His promise is true
So I speak to the mountains, "Oh, it's time to move
'Cause my God is bigger, better, stronger, greater than you"
Bridge (x2)
There's no mountain too high, no valley too low
There's no fear that I have He doesn't already know
There's no problem too big, there's no weapon too strong
There is nothing for God that's impossible
Final Chorus
So I won't be shaken, no, I won't be moved
'Cause my God is faithful, His promise is true
So I speak to the mountains, "Oh, it's time to move
'Cause my God is bigger, better, stronger, greater than
Bigger, better, stronger, greater
Bigger, better, stronger, greater than you"

Meaning & Inspiration
This declaration song sets everyday worries against the greatness of God. It opens with a question about why anyone should worry when "giants come calling my name," and answers that God is bigger and better than every trouble and every craving for power, riches or fame.
The chorus turns to bold speech, as the singer talks directly to the mountains and tells them it is time to move. Verse two grounds that confidence in the cross and resurrection, saying God "died for my ransom and rose up on the third day," and is greater than death and the grave. The bridge lists obstacles, from high mountains to strong weapons, and concludes that nothing is impossible for God.
The imagery of speaking to a mountain may echo words of Jesus about faith, though the lyrics do not cite a passage. The tone is confident and triumphant, suited to congregational singing.
