Lyrics
Intro
God is
My light in darkness, oh
God, God is
He, He is my all and all (And I'll never turn back)
God is
Verse
Everything that hath breath praise the Lord
Worship Christ with the best of your portions
I know I won't forget all He's done
He's the strength in this race that I run
Every time I look up, I see God's faithfulness
And it shows just how much He is miraculous
I can't keep it to myself, I can't sit here and be still
Everybody, I will tell 'til the whole world is healed
King of Kings, Lord of Lords, all the things He has in store
From the rich to the poor, all are welcome through the door
You won't ever be the same when you call on Jesus' name
Listen to the words I'm sayin', Jesus saved me, now I'm sane
And I know, I know God is the force that picked me up
I know Christ is the fountain that filled my cup
I know God is alive, yeah
He has opened up my vision
Giving me a revelation
This ain't 'bout a dead religion
Jesus brought a revolution
All the captives are forgiven
Time to break down all the prisons
Every man, every woman
There is freedom from addiction
Jesus, You have my soul
Sunday Service on a roll
All my idols, let 'em go
All the demons, let 'em know
This a mission, not a show
This is my eternal soul
This my kids, this the crib
This my wife, this my life
This my God-given right
Thank You, Jesus, won the fight
Outro
That's what God is
That's what God is
That's what God is

Meaning & Inspiration
“God Is” combines personal testimony, praise, and public proclamation around the claim that Christ transforms life. The opening identifies God as light in darkness and as the source of everything needed. From there, the verse calls all living creatures to praise, remembers God’s faithfulness, and describes Jesus as Savior, liberator, and the one who restores spiritual sight. The language moves quickly, but the repeated first-person declarations keep the focus on gratitude for rescue.
Several lines draw directly on biblical language. “Everything that hath breath praise the Lord” echoes the closing call of Psalm 150, while “King of Kings, Lord of Lords” recalls Revelation’s title for Christ. The references to captives, prisons, forgiveness, and freedom align with Jesus’ announcement of liberty in Luke 4 and with the New Testament theme of freedom in the Son. The song also treats repentance concretely through the decision to release idols. Its mission language turns private change outward, presenting testimony as something to be shared rather than hidden.
