Lyrics
Healing, grace, mercy
It's in the room
Power, faith, compassion
It's in the room
It's in the room
It's in the room
Our Father hears us
It's in the room
All fear is gone
Victory's won
And whatever you need
It's in the room
Whatever you need
It's in the room
Miracle, faith, favour
It's in the room
No longer are we abandoned
We are Fathered by Jesus
He's in the room
He's in the room
Our Father hears us
He's in the room
All fear is gone
Victory's won
Whatever you need
It's in the room
Whatever you need
He's in the room
You are the lifter of our heads
You are the answer to our prayers
You are the Father, we're the heirs
You are Jesus
You are the lifter of our heads
You are the answer to our prayers
You are the Father, we're the heirs
You are Jesus
You are the lifter of our heads
You are the answer to our prayers
You are the Father, we're the heirs
You are Jesus
He's in the room
He's in the room
Our Father hears us
He's in the room
All fear is gone
Victory's won
Whatever you need
It's in the room
Whatever you need
He's in the room
He's in the room
He's in the room
Our Father hears us
He's in the room
All fear is gone
All fear is gone
All fear is gone
I don't have to worry no more
All!...

Meaning & Inspiration
Shana Wilson Williams released her powerful song "It's In The Room" on July 27, 2018, as part of her album *Everlasting*. This song stands as a profound declaration, a spiritual anthem that cuts through doubt and anxiety to anchor the believer in the tangible presence and provision of God. Its core message is an unwavering affirmation that every spiritual necessity—healing, grace, mercy, power, faith, compassion—is not merely available in theory, but truly *present* and accessible within the sacred space of worship and personal communion with God. The song invites us to recognize and embrace the immediacy of divine intervention, reminding us that we don't need to strive for what is already near.
The lyrical journey begins by enumerating these divine attributes: "Healing, grace, mercy, It's in the room." This isn't a suggestion of what God *might* do, but a confident proclamation of what He *has* already done and continues to do. Healing, both physical and spiritual, is a cornerstone of God’s character, as promised in passages like Isaiah 53:5, where we are assured, "by His stripes we are healed." Grace, the unmerited favor of God, is our entry point into this divine reality, as Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God." And His mercies, which Lamentations 3:22-23 declares "are new every morning," envelop us constantly. These fundamental gifts are portrayed not as distant concepts, but as living realities saturating the very atmosphere we inhabit, especially when we gather in His name or seek Him in quiet devotion.
The song builds on this foundation with "Power, faith, compassion, It's in the room." The power referenced here is the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead, capable of working "far more abundantly than all that we ask or think" (Ephesians 3:20). This power is present to transform circumstances and strengthen us. Faith, as Hebrews 11:1 defines it, is "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," and it is stirred within us by God's Word and His Spirit when His presence is known. God’s compassion, so evident in Jesus’ earthly ministry towards the sick and lost (Matthew 9:36), is eternally available, reflecting His unchanging nature as a loving Father (Psalm 103:13). The repetition of "It's in the room" serves as a powerful mantra, anchoring the truth in our consciousness and dispelling any notion of absence or distance.
A pivotal declaration arrives with "Our Father hears us, It's in the room." This line directly addresses the efficacy of prayer and God's attentiveness, offering immense comfort. Scripture repeatedly confirms God’s listening ear, such as in Psalm 34:17, "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears," and 1 John 5:14-15, which assures us that "if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us." This divine attentiveness means our supplications are not falling on deaf ears but are received by a loving Father who actively engages with His children. The subsequent affirmation, "All fear is gone, Victory's won," is a direct consequence of His presence. When God is in the room, fear dissipates, for "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7). Victory, through Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, is an accomplished fact (1 Corinthians 15:57), and we access this triumph by embracing His presence. This leads to the ultimate reassurance: "Whatever you need, It's in the room," echoing Philippians 4:19 that "my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
The lyrics then transition to a profound statement of identity: "No longer are we abandoned, We are Fathered by Jesus." This speaks to the New Covenant reality of adoption, where through Christ, we become children of God. Romans 8:15 clarifies that we "did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, 'Abba, Father.'" Jesus Himself promised not to leave us as orphans (John 14:18), and through Him, we are not just accepted, but intimately "fathered." The shift to "He's in the room" emphasizes the personal, living presence of Christ, the embodiment of all these divine attributes.
The bridge elevates the praise, articulating Jesus' roles: "You are the lifter of our heads, You are the answer to our prayers, You are the Father, we're the heirs, You are Jesus." He is the one who restores our dignity and hope (Psalm 3:3), the source of every good and perfect gift, and the one who responds to our deepest cries (Jeremiah 33:3). As heirs, we are co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17), inheriting the promises and blessings of God's kingdom. The repeated affirmation that "All fear is gone" culminates in a testimony of peace and trust: "I don't have to worry no more." This powerful conclusion highlights the transformative impact of acknowledging God's active, immediate presence. When we truly believe that healing, power, and Jesus Himself are "in the room," worry loses its grip, and a profound, unshakable peace takes root. The song thus serves as a catalyst for faith, an invitation to a deeper experiential understanding of God's ever-present care and provision, encouraging people to step into the reality of His nearness and find everything they need within His embrace.
