Lyrics

Verse 1


He is the Lord, and He reigns on high
He is the Lord
Spoke into the darkness, created the light
He is the Lord
Who is like unto Him, never ending in days
He is the Lord
And He comes in power when we call on His name
He is the Lord


Chorus


Show Your power, oh Lord our God
Show Your power, oh Lord our God, our God


Verse 2


Your gospel oh Lord is the hope of this nation
You are the Lord
It's the power of God for our salvation
You are the Lord


Chorus (Variant)


Send Your power, oh Lord our God
Send Your power, oh Lord our God, our God


Verse 3


We ask not for riches but look to the cross
'Cause you are the Lord
And for our inheritance give us the loss
You are the Lord


Chorus (Variant, Repeat)


Send Your power
Oh, Lord, our God
Send Your power
Oh, Lord, our God
Oh, Lord, our God

Meaning & Inspiration

"Show Your Power" opens with a series of short declarations naming God as Lord over creation, speaking light into darkness and standing without equal or end, each line answered by the same repeated title. That pattern of description followed by refrain treats God's identity as something worth restating rather than a single introductory fact. The chorus turns from description to request, asking God to show and later send His power, directly to a specific audience, a nation in need of hope through the gospel. A middle verse ties that power explicitly to salvation, drawing on the language of the gospel as God's power to save rather than a power meant for spectacle. The closing verse reframes the request further, asking not for riches but for the cross, and describing loss itself as the desired inheritance rather than material gain, an unusual request that redefines what the song considers valuable. Structurally the song moves from declaration to plea to a countercultural definition of blessing, asking for God's power to be revealed through sacrifice rather than comfort.
