Lyrics
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
You did it before
You have done it today
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
(repeat)
Jesus You're the one who made the lame to walk
You are the God who made the blind to see
All power belong to You, belong to You
King of my life no one can do the things You do
I believe in the name of Jesus
I believe in the power of the Holy Ghost
Is there something You really want to change
Just use the name of Jesus and
You'll be smiling all the way
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
You did it before
You have done it today
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
This thing the Lord has done it shall be permanent
This miracle you see it shall be permanent
Listen:
I and they that the Lord has given me
We are made for signs and wonders eh
Impossible is nothing oh
Because I believe in the name of Jesus
I believe in the power of the Holy Ghost
Is there something You really want to change
Just use the name of Jesus and
You'll be smiling all the way
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
Powerful Jesus You've done what no man could do
This thing the Lord has done it shall be permanent
This miracle you see it shall be permanent
It shall be permanent, It shall be permanent
It shall be permanent in Jesus name
Jesus has done it and it shall be permanent
Jesus has done it shall be permanent

Meaning & Inspiration
“Powerful Jesus” is a song of praise built around confidence in the authority of Jesus. Its recurring declaration that Christ has done what no person could do gives thanks for divine intervention, while references to the lame walking and the blind seeing recall the signs associated with the ministry of Jesus. The repeated chorus makes gratitude and confidence the song’s dominant response.
The lyrics also connect faith in the name of Jesus with hope for change, healing, and lasting deliverance. Their language of “signs and wonders” closely echoes Isaiah’s description of the prophet and his children, though the song applies that phrase as a confession of faith. The insistence that the work of the Lord will remain permanent expresses trust that divine action is not temporary or fragile. Throughout the song, praise is directed to Jesus as king, miracle worker, and the one whose power exceeds human ability. That emphasis makes victory, testimony, and grateful celebration its clearest themes.
