Lyrics
There aren't even words to describe just how great You are
In all Your majesty
You continually
Provide for me
There just isn't anything that You can't do
Lord I've seen Your work before
So I'll trust you all the more
Because You are
You are the sovereign God
Bigger than all my problems
And every situation
There is nothing too hard
For the sovereign God
A wave of Your hand can command the seas to hold their peace
If you can handle the seas
Then I know that You can deal with all my needs
So I will put every situation
Into Your capable hands
I don't have to know the plan
Because You are
You are the sovereign God
Bigger than all my problems
And every situation
There is nothing too hard
For the sovereign God
He is able to do exceedingly abundantly
Above all we ask or think
So take all your burdens and lay them at His feet
And watch Him meet the need
We have the victory
Because You are
You are the sovereign God
Bigger than all my problems
And every situation
There is nothing too hard
For the sovereign God
He is sovereign, He is
He is sovereign, He is
(repeat sequence 3 times, inverting each time up to one octave...)
You are the sovereign God
Bigger than all my problems
And every situation
There is nothing too hard
For the sovereign God

Meaning & Inspiration
Sovereign God centers on the confidence that divine authority is greater than every problem and circumstance. The opening lines move from wonder at God’s majesty to gratitude for faithful provision, while the chorus gives the song its central confession: nothing is too hard for the sovereign God. The image of Christ commanding the sea reinforces the assurance that the One who rules creation is able to care for individual needs.
The later appeal to lay burdens at God’s feet turns that confession into a response of trust. Its language closely echoes Ephesians 3:20, especially in the declaration that God can do exceedingly and abundantly beyond what is asked or imagined. The song also recalls the calming of the storm in Mark 4:39 and the invitation of 1 Peter 5:7 to place every anxiety in God’s care. Together, these themes present worship as confident dependence: present troubles remain real, but they are placed under God’s unmatched power and faithful provision.
