Lyrics
Verse 1
There's a God who can move
On the smallest seed of faith
When a mountain's in the way There's a name we can claim
That commands the chains to break As we lift our song of praise
Chorus
Now to Him who's able to do More than we ask or imagine
All to Him who's worthy of praise To Him be the power forever
Verse 2
There's a cross can it be
The Savior crucified
To save a wretch like me There's a grave it's living proof That death was never final
And there's nothing He can't do
Chorus
Now to Him who's able to do More than we ask or imagine
All to Him who's worthy of praise To Him be the power forever
Tag
To God be the glory forever

Meaning & Inspiration
“Now to Him” builds its confession around God’s ability to act beyond human expectation. A small measure of faith faces mountains, Christ’s name confronts chains, and praise rises in response. The chorus closely follows Ephesians 3:20-21, directing glory toward the One who can accomplish far more than can be asked or imagined. This gives the song a clear pattern: need is acknowledged, divine power is trusted, and honor returns to God.
The second verse places that confidence in the death and resurrection of Jesus. The cross displays the Savior’s mercy toward sinners, while the empty grave declares that death did not have the final word. Those claims keep the song’s language about miracles and freedom rooted in the gospel rather than in confidence alone. Its closing declaration, “To God be the glory forever,” gathers faith, salvation, resurrection, and praise into a concise doxology. The song is therefore suited to worship focused on God’s power and Christ’s victory.
