Can You feel His love surround us?
Can You feel His love embrace us?
It's not like man-made love
It's not like human love
Something supernatural
Something supernatural
It's mighty love
It's mighty love
What mighty love, what mighty love
It surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds us
For I've tasted and seen Your goodness
And I've stood in the power of Your presence
For I've felt the depths of Your mercy
Oh, how Your love, it always surrounds me

Meaning & Inspiration
Maverick City Music's "Mighty One," released on June 18, 2021, as part of the *Jubilee: Juneteenth Edition*, is a powerful declaration of worship that echoes the timeless attributes of God. The song, at its core, is an experiential testament to divine presence and goodness. Its message stems directly from a profound encounter with the Almighty, reflecting the scriptural injunction to "taste and see that the Lord is good" (Psalm 34:8). The lyrics move beyond mere pronouncements, anchoring themselves in personal experience: "For I've tasted and seen Your goodness / And I've stood in the power of Your presence / For I've felt the depths of Your mercy." This personal testimony resonates deeply, mirroring the psalmist's intimate knowledge of God's faithfulness, as seen in verses like Psalm 23:4, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." The repeated emphasis on God's surrounding love, described as "mighty love," aligns with the biblical understanding of God's steadfast and all-encompassing affection, a love that finds its ultimate expression in Jesus Christ, as John 3:16 so eloquently states: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
The song's structure, with its insistent, almost breathless repetition of "Mighty One, we worship You" and the extended sections declaring "You alone are worthy of the highest praise and all my love," builds a compelling case for absolute adoration. This isn't a hesitant offering but a full surrender, a recognition of God's supreme sovereignty and unparalleled worthiness. This sentiment is directly echoed in Philippians 2:9-11, where it is prophesied that "every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." The song's progression from personal testimony to universal declaration elevates the worship experience, inviting listeners to join in a chorus of praise that acknowledges God's inherent majesty. The shift towards "something supernatural" and "mighty love" distinguishes this divine affection from fleeting human emotions, pointing to the unfailing, divine nature of God's love, a love that is inexhaustible and transformative, as described in Romans 8:38-39: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." "Mighty One" serves as a vibrant, faith-filled invitation to experience and extol the boundless power and enduring love of the one true God.
