Micah Tyler - Amen Lyrics
Lyrics
Amen
Amen
Amen
Oh Amen
When I think
About where I would have been without You
I’m so glad
It’s a place I never have to be
Even if I tried I couldn’t count the ways
Not enough words for me to ever say
Just how good, how good You are to me
How could I hide this joy inside of me
Amazing grace, oh Lord, how can it be
Every day of my life I want the world to see
I can't get over what You've done for me
You got me singing like
Amen
Amen
Amen
Oh Amen
What You did
Has given me a hope forever
What You do
Has shown me you will never leave
Even if I tried I couldn’t count the ways
Not enough words for me to ever say
Just how good, how good You are to me
How could I hide this joy inside of me
Amazing grace, oh Lord, how can it be
Every day of my life I want the world to see
I can't get over what You've done for me
You got me singing like
Amen
Amen
Amen
Oh Amen
I can’t get over what You’ve done for me
That’s why I gotta sing
I can’t get over what You’ve done for me
That’s why I gotta sing
Every mountain
Every valley
Ever since the day You found me
I can’t get over what You’ve done for me
That’s why I gotta sing amen
How could I hide this joy inside of me
Amazing grace, oh Lord, how can it be
Every day of my life I want the world to see
I can't get over what You've done for me
You got me singing like
Amen
Amen
Amen
Oh Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Oh Amen

Micah Tyler - AMEN (Official Lyric Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
Micah Tyler's "Amen," released on October 3, 2019, emerges as a potent anthem of faith, serving not merely as a song but as a declaration of unwavering devotion and gratitude. The track's core essence is a profound expression of joy and thankfulness for God's transformative power and unending goodness in one's life. Tyler, known for his ability to translate deep spiritual truths into accessible, contemporary sounds, uses this song to articulate a universally shared experience among believers: the overwhelming realization of grace and redemption. It’s a testament to the profound shift that occurs when one recognizes God's hand, prompting an uncontainable urge to respond with praise.
The narrative woven through "Amen" begins with a reflective glance at a life "without You," immediately pivoting to the profound relief of salvation. This sentiment mirrors the transformation described in Scripture, where humanity, once "dead in transgressions," is made "alive with Christ" (Ephesians 2:1, 5). The song doesn't dwell on the past darkness but celebrates the escape from it, an escape made possible by divine intervention. Tyler then emphasizes the immeasurable nature of God’s kindness, stating, "Even if I tried I couldn't count the ways, Not enough words for me to ever say, Just how good, how good You are to me." This echo of Psalm 40:5, which speaks of God's "many wonderful works" and "thoughts toward us," highlights the sheer impossibility of fully cataloging God's blessings and faithfulness. It’s a recognition that divine goodness transcends human language and comprehension.
The song’s chorus, centered on the inability to "hide this joy inside of me" and the wonder of "Amazing grace, oh Lord, how can it be," captures the explosive delight of experiencing God's unmerited favor. This joy is not a quiet, internal emotion but an overflowing wellspring, a direct fulfillment of Nehemiah 8:10, which proclaims that "the joy of the Lord is your strength." The yearning for "the world to see" what God has done underscores a fundamental desire of the transformed heart: to bear witness to His glory, an imperative found in Matthew 5:16, where believers are urged to "let your light shine before others." The repeated phrase, "I can't get over what You've done for me," becomes a powerful, almost ecstatic, affirmation of the finished work of Christ, a continuous source of amazement and praise.
Further deepening its message, "Amen" distinguishes between God's past redemptive act and His ongoing, faithful presence. "What You did has given me a hope forever. What You do has shown me you will never leave." This distinction beautifully articulates the foundational hope of salvation (Romans 5:5) and the comfort of God's constant companionship, a promise echoed in Hebrews 13:5: "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." The bridge reinforces this continuous journey, encompassing "Every mountain, Every valley, Ever since the day You found me." This imagery reminds us that God's grace and presence are not confined to moments of peak spiritual experience but extend through every challenge and triumph, through every "valley of the shadow of death" (Psalm 23:4) and every mountaintop of blessing. The song culminates in a joyful, insistent return to the affirmation "Amen," a word that here transcends its traditional role as a simple conclusion. Instead, it serves as an overarching, declarative statement of agreement with God's truth, a jubilant shout of "so be it" to His goodness, and an enduring commitment to praise. It is, in its entirety, a profoundly encouraging lyrical journey, rooted deeply in scriptural truth, inviting all who engage with it to share in that same undeniable, uncontainable joy.
