Chorus
Lifter of men is there anything You cannot do?
What is impossible with men is possible with You
You have done it before, You will do it again
You have done it before, You will do it again
Chorus (Repeat)
Lifter of men is there anything You cannot do?
What is impossible with men oh is possible with You
You have done it before, You will do it again
You have done it before, Come and do it again
Verse 1
You choose the foolish things of this world to shame the wise
You choose the weakest things of this world to shame the strong
Lord I put my trust in you I will never be ashamed
Lifter of men nothing too hard for You
Verse 2
Some may trust in their gods others trust in man made gods
But I put my trust in your name that never fails
You are the hero for the helpless, what can you not do
Lifter of men nothing too hard for You

Lifter of men is there anything You cannot do?
What is impossible with men is possible with You
You have done it before, You will do it again
You have done it before, You will do it again

Make a name for yourself in my life

Meaning & Inspiration
“Lifter of Men” by Jimmy D Psalmist is a faith declaration built on a question, “Lifter of men, is there anything You cannot do?” The answer is given in the next line, “What is impossible with men is possible with You,” which is close to Luke 18:27. The chorus then points to history as proof: “You have done it before, You will do it again.”
The verse draws on 1 Corinthians 1:27, where God chooses the foolish and weak things of the world to shame the wise and strong. The singer puts trust in God and says he will never be ashamed, and sets this against others who trust in gods made by men. The name of the Lord is described as one that never fails, and God is called “the hero for the helpless.”
The ending turns to prayer: “Make a name for Yourself in my life.” The question of what is too hard for God echoes Jeremiah 32:17. The message of the song is confidence that God can do what people cannot.
