Chorus
Mighty man of War, Lion of Judah
We bow down and worship you
Yahweh Yahweh, come and do what only you can do
Verse 1
You are the God that killeth and also make alive
You're the Lion yet you are the Lamb of God
Yahweh Yahweh, come and do what only you can do
You are my glory and the lifter of my head
Demons tremble at the mention of your name ooh
God of thunder, you're the God of fire
Come and do what only you can do
Chorus (Repeat)
Mighty man of War, Lion of Judah
We bow down and worship you
Yahweh Yahweh, come and do what only you can do
Verse 2
You're the father to the fatherless
You're the mother to the motherless
The husband to the widow
The help to the helpless
My healer, you're my deliverer
Come and do what only you can do
You're the way maker
You're the mountain mover
You raise the death and make the barren fruitful
Yahweh Yahweh come and do what only you can do
Bridge
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh
Come and do what only you can do
Yahweh, we call you by your name
Nobody can do the things you do
Yahweh Yahweh come and do what only you can do
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh
Come and do what only you can do
Chorus (Repeat)
Mighty man of War, Lion of Judah
We bow down and worship you
Yahweh Yahweh, come and do what only you can do

Meaning & Inspiration
“Mighty Man of War” by Jimmy D Psalmist is a call for God to act, sung as a prayer of worship. The title and refrain name the Lord as a warrior and as the Lion of Judah, and each round ends with the request, “Yahweh, come and do what only You can do.” The titles recall Exodus 15:3, where the Lord is called a man of war, and Revelation 5:5, which names the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
The verses add images of God’s authority and care. He is the God who kills and makes alive, a line close to 1 Samuel 2:6, and the one who is both Lion and Lamb. He is also a father to the fatherless and a husband to the widow, language close to Psalm 68:5. Further lines name him healer, deliverer, way maker, and mountain mover.
The bridge repeats the name Yahweh and says that nobody can do the things He does. The song’s message is confidence in God’s strength joined to His compassion.
