Meaning & Inspiration
“Mighty God (Remix)” pairs Joe Praize with the Soweto Gospel Choir in a song of praise to God as King. The first verse speaks of telling of God’s glory and showing His beauty, and says that dancing and shouting would not be enough. The pre-chorus calls Him the great and mighty King who rules every nation, Christ the solid rock, Alpha and Omega, and the one in whom the singer places trust.
The second verse looks at creation, where heaven speaks of His glory and the earth of His beauty. It also says His love is new every morning and His faithfulness is sure. The chorus declares that He is the great and mighty God, worthy to be praised, and the joy of the whole world.
The bridge adds Zulu lines, “Yelele, Uyingwele” and “Siyakudumisa,” which the lyric translates as “You are holy” and “I worship You.” The lines are close to Psalm 19:1, Lamentations 3:22-23 and Revelation 22:13. The song is bright, repeated and made for a congregation.
