Lyrics

God of Love, God of Power, the only reason that I'm still here


God of Mercy, your hand of grace, touched my life I'm forever changed


Life was so empty until you came in, when I was weak you showed me your strength


Now I'm convinced that I can do anything with you


With you, I find my strength


With you, I can hold on


With you, I know I’m covered


No greater power than you


No God is greater than you


God of Love, God of Power, the only reason that I'm still here


God of Mercy, your hand of grace, touched my life I'm forever changed


Life was so empty until you came in, when I was weak you showed me your strength


Now I'm convinced that I can do anything with you


When I'm with you


When I'm with you

Meaning & Inspiration

“With You” is a direct confession of dependence on God’s love, power, mercy, and grace. The lyric contrasts former emptiness and weakness with the strength found in God’s presence. Its central refrain does not celebrate self-sufficiency; it locates the ability to endure, hold on, and move forward in communion with God. Repetition gives that confession clarity, returning each section to the claim that no power and no God is greater.

The language of receiving strength closely reflects Philippians 4:13, where Paul speaks of being able to face all circumstances through the one who strengthens him. The assurance of being covered also fits the biblical picture of God as refuge in Psalm 91:4. By joining mercy with transformation, the song presents grace as an active touch that changes a life rather than an abstract idea. Its message remains focused and devotional: weakness is met by divine strength, emptiness by presence, and uncertainty by confidence in God’s unmatched power.
