Lyrics
Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
Saviour, he can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever Author of Salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that I believe in
Now I surrender
Saviour, he can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever Author of Salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen king Jesus
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen king Jesus
Saviour, he can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever Author of Salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave(x2)
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen king Jesus (x2)

Meaning & Inspiration
“Mighty to Save” presents salvation as the work of a compassionate and victorious Savior. It begins with shared human needs—mercy, forgiveness, kindness, and hope—before answering them with the declaration that Jesus can save. The mountain-moving image expresses confidence in divine strength, while the repeated reference to the conquered grave places Christ’s resurrection at the center of that confidence. Surrender follows as a fitting response to mercy rather than an achievement that earns it.\n\nThe song then turns outward through the call to shine and let the world see the glory of the risen King. That movement connects personal renewal with public witness: a life received by Christ becomes a light that points beyond itself. Matthew 5:14-16 closely supports the language of shining before the world, and Romans 10:9 links salvation with confessing Jesus as Lord and believing that God raised him from the dead. Together, these themes make the song a clear confession of mercy, resurrection, surrender, and mission.
