Lincoln Brewster - Our God Lyrics
Lyrics
Water, You turned into wine
Opened the eyes of the blind
There's no one like You
None like You
Into the darkness, You shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There's no one like You
None like You
Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God, our God
Into the darkness, You shine
Out of the ashes, we rise
There's no one like You
None like You
Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God, our God
Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God, our God
And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
Then what could stand against
Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God, our God
Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God, our God
And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
What could stand against
What could stand against

Lincoln Brewster - Our God
Meaning & Inspiration
Lincoln Brewster's powerful anthem "Our God," featured on the 2018 deluxe edition of his album *God of the Impossible*, stands as a profound declaration of faith, drawing deeply from biblical narratives to articulate the unparalleled might and love of the Almighty. The song’s genesis lies in a desire to encapsulate the transformative power of God, echoing the miracles described throughout Scripture. From the opening lines referencing water turned into wine and the opening of blind eyes, Brewster immediately invokes the miraculous works of Jesus, as recorded in John 2:1-11 and John 9:1-12 respectively. These are not mere poetic embellishments but tangible reminders of God's intervention in human history, demonstrating His sovereignty over the natural world and His compassion for the afflicted. The recurring refrain, "There's no one like You, None like You," acts as a central thesis, underscoring the unique and incomparable nature of God, a truth foundational to Jewish and Christian theology, as expressed in passages like Isaiah 43:10: "Before me no god was formed, nor will there be any after me."
The song’s core message is built upon the unshakeable attributes of God: His greatness, His strength, His ultimate authority, His healing power, and His awesome might. These descriptions are woven into a vibrant tapestry of scriptural affirmation. When Brewster sings, "Our God is greater, Our God is stronger," he evokes the psalmist's exclamations of God's immense power, such as in Psalm 147:5: "Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit." The declaration that "God, You are higher than any other" directly mirrors the prophetic pronouncements found in Isaiah 55:9: "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Furthermore, the affirmation "Our God is healer" resonates with the promises of spiritual and physical restoration found throughout the Old and New Testaments, from God declaring Himself as "the Lord, who heals you" in Exodus 15:26, to the healing miracles performed by Jesus, as documented in the Gospels. The phrase "Awesome in power" calls to mind God's majestic and awe-inspiring demonstrations of power, such as the parting of the Red Sea or the thunderous pronouncements from Mount Sinai, aligning with the awe-inspiring accounts in Exodus and Deuteronomy.
The bridge of the song, "And if our God is for us, Then who could ever stop us? And if our God is with us, Then what could stand against?" is a direct echo of Romans 8:31: "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" This powerful rhetorical question, deeply rooted in the New Testament, offers profound encouragement and a resolute stance of confidence for believers. It highlights the ultimate security found in God's presence and His active support, suggesting that no earthly opposition or challenge can ultimately prevail against those aligned with Him. The repetition of this section serves to embed this truth firmly in the listener’s spirit, offering a source of unwavering hope and a reminder of the divine protection available to those who place their trust in Him. "Our God" is more than just a song; it is a robust theological statement set to music, designed to inspire a deep-seated confidence in the unfailing character and immeasurable power of the God it so eloquently celebrates.
