Jermaine Gordon - You Are God Lyrics

“You Are God” by Jermaine Gordon is a short worship chant built on three titles for God. Each section opens with a plain declaration, “You are God,” “You are Lord,” and “Reigning King,” and pairs it with the same description, “Holy and righteous.” The titles are repeated at the end of each section, so the structure is a simple pattern of statement, description, and echo.

Because the wording is spare, the song leaves room for a congregation to sing it slowly and linger on each name. Holiness and righteousness are named together as the character that makes God worthy of worship, a pairing found in Psalm 145:17, where the Lord is righteous in all His ways and holy in all His works.

The titles recall Psalm 99:9, which calls on worshippers to exalt the Lord and worship at His holy hill, and Revelation 15:3-4, which sings of the King of the nations who alone is holy. The song is a compact confession of who God is, offered without further detail.
