Lyrics

I know someone
Who knows what I’m up against
I know someone
Who’s here in the midst of it
Fighting for me
In a battle I could never win
All on my own

I might not be able to part the waters
Might not be able to calm the storms
Might not be able to make my giants fall
But good thing I’m not alone
Cause there is a power that is greater
So I’m not afraid of what’s ahead
I’m standing in the confidence
That even though I can’t
My God can

He’ll heal those who hurt
And comfort every broken heart
Restore the homes
Of families who’ve been torn apart
Tell chains to break
And do what seems impossible
Like only He can

I can do all things, all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
I can do all things, all things
Cause His Spirit lives in me
I can do all things, all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
I can do all things, all things
Cause His Spirit lives in me

Meaning & Inspiration

Katy Nichole and Naomi Raine's collaborative single, "My God Can," released on February 24, 2023, as part of the "My God Can - Single" project, offers a powerful testament to faith in the face of overwhelming challenges. The song's genesis and message are rooted in the profound truth that humanity's limitations are eclipsed by God's boundless power. The lyrics express a deep understanding of personal frailty – acknowledging inability to "part the waters," "calm the storms," or "make my giants fall." This honesty resonates because it mirrors the human experience of facing insurmountable obstacles. However, this vulnerability is not a surrender to despair; rather, it's the very launching pad for unwavering hope. The core message, beautifully articulated, is that even when "I can't," "My God can." This refrain directly echoes the biblical narrative of divine intervention and provision. Think of Moses before the Red Sea, or David facing Goliath; these were situations where human strength alone would have failed, but God’s power was demonstrated through them. The song powerfully declares this enduring truth, reminding us that there is a "power that is greater" residing within those who believe, a power that eradicates fear of the future.

The lyrical content delves into the restorative and redemptive work of God, speaking of His ability to "heal those who hurt," "comfort every broken heart," and "restore the homes of families who’ve been torn apart." This imagery is deeply scriptural, recalling promises found in Isaiah 61:1, which speaks of the Spirit of the Lord being upon the prophet to "bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners." The song also touches on the miraculous, proclaiming that God can "tell chains to break" and "do what seems impossible," a direct nod to His omnipotence, as seen in passages like Jeremiah 32:17, "Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great strength and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you." The bridge of the song, referencing the ability to "do all things... through Christ who gives me strength" and the indwelling of His Spirit, draws directly from Philippians 4:13, a cornerstone verse for Christian believers facing trials. This collaboration between Katy Nichole and Naomi Raine is more than just a musical offering; it's an anthem of spiritual resilience, a declaration that when our own strength falters, the unfailing power of God stands ready to accomplish His perfect will, transforming our perceived impossibilities into His divine possibilities.
