Lyrics
Renew, restore
Revive Your Church and make us whole
Ignite, transform
Take us to a place we've never seen before
You've done the impossible
We've seen our mountains move before
Your word is unstoppable
With expectation we declare
[Chorus]
Though mountains stand before us
Though weapons form against us
We're standing on Your promise
We're believing You Lord for greater things
We know that You are willing
We've seen that You are able
Oh God release Your favor
We're believing You Lord for greater things
Renew, restore
Revive Your Church and make us whole
Ignite, transform
Take us to a place we've never seen before
You've done the impossible
We've seen our mountains move before
Your word is unstoppable
With expectation we declare
Though mountains stand before us
Though weapons form against us
We're standing on Your promise
We're believing You Lord for greater things
We know that You are willing
We've seen that You are able
Oh God release Your favor
We're believing You Lord for greater things
Bridge
Foundations are shaking
And every curse is breaking
Strongholds are falling
And greater things are coming
(Repeat 2x)
Though mountains stand before us
Though weapons form against us
We're standing on Your promise
We're believing You Lord for greater things
We know that You are willing
We've seen that You are able
Oh God release Your favor
We're believing You Lord for greater things
(Repeat)

Meaning & Inspiration
Greater Things is a prayer for renewal in the church and a declaration of confidence in God’s ability. The opening asks God to restore, revive, ignite, and transform his people. It then recalls impossible works already seen, using moved mountains as an image of divine intervention and presenting God’s word as unstoppable.
The chorus places present obstacles beside God’s promise. Mountains and weapons remain real, but neither is given final authority; the song answers them with trust in God’s willingness and power. Isaiah 54:17 clearly stands behind the reference to weapons failing, while Mark 11:23 supplies the image of mountains moving through faith. The bridge intensifies the expectation through shaking foundations, broken curses, and falling strongholds. Those lines may be read alongside 2 Corinthians 10:4, which describes divinely empowered weapons demolishing strongholds. Across its sections, the song joins prayer for corporate revival with praise for past faithfulness and hope for what God may yet do.
