Just one word
You calm the storm that surrounds me
Just one word
The darkness has to retreat
Just one touch
I feel the presence of heaven
Just one touch
My eyes were opened to see
My heart can’t help but believe
There’s nothing that our God can’t do
There’s not a mountain that He can’t move
Oh praise the name
That makes a way
There’s nothing that our God can’t do
Just one word
You heal what’s broken inside me
Just one word
And you revive every dream
Just one touch
I feel the power of heaven
Just one touch
My eyes were opened to see
My heart can’t help but believe
There’s nothing that our God can’t do
There’s not a prison wall He can’t break through
Oh praise the name
That makes a way
There’s nothing that our God can’t do
I will believe, for greater things
There’s no power like the power of Jesus
Let faith arise, let all agree
There’s no power like the power of Jesus
There's Nothing That Our God Can't Do
There's Nothing That Our God Can't Do Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
"There's Nothing That Our God Can't Do" by Passion City Church is a worship song that powerfully declares the limitless power and capability of God. Released with a video on January 17, 2020, the song emerged from the Passion movement, known for its large gatherings focused on lifting up the name of Jesus among young adults. The song structure builds around simple, yet profound actions attributed to God – "just one word" and "just one touch." It highlights the immediate and transformative effects of God's presence and power, capable of calming internal and external storms, dispelling darkness, bringing healing to brokenness, reviving lost dreams, and opening eyes to see spiritual truths, leading the heart to believe.
The central message is firmly anchored in the declarative chorus, which serves as the song's thesis: "There's nothing that our God can't do." This statement is reinforced by specific examples of seemingly insurmountable obstacles that are no match for His power, such as mountains that He can move and prison walls He can break through. The chorus becomes an anthem of faith and a call to praise the name of God, emphasizing His unique ability to make a way where there appears to be none. It reiterates the core belief that His power is absolute and all-encompassing.
The song progresses to a bridge that escalates the declaration of faith. It moves from stating God's capabilities to a personal commitment, "I will believe, for greater things," and a corporate affirmation, "Let faith arise, let all agree." This section explicitly connects the song's theme of limitless power to the name of Jesus, proclaiming that "There's no power like the power of Jesus." This serves as a focal point for worship, directing attention to the person through whom God's power is manifested. The song’s message aligns with biblical themes found throughout scripture, such as the power of God's spoken word in creation and miracles (Genesis 1, John 1), Jesus calming the storm by command (Matthew 8), His healing touch (Luke 8), the concept of faith moving mountains (Matthew 17), God's ability to deliver from captivity (Acts 12), and the ultimate authority and power vested in the name of Jesus (Philippians 2). The song serves as both a reminder of God's omnipotence and an encouragement for believers to trust in His ability to act in their lives and in the world.
