Lyrics
You are my God so glorious and mighty
The one who's fighting for me through the night
You are my God You are with me in the morning
When the war is raging You are by my side
I will trust You God of Jacob
I will trust Your heart
I will trust You God of Jacob
I will trust Your heart
Creator God You're the Maker of the Heavens
Of water sands and branches You made time
My righteous God who can stand before Your presence
Hands and hearts in reverence purified
I will seek You God of Jacob
I will seek Your heart
I will seek You God of Jacob
I will seek Your heart
Holy holy only You are worthy
Holy holy Jesus King of glory
My faith made sight when I see You coming for me
Riding on the clouds in glory You're the Christ
And on that day
When we're gathered in the throne room
Together we'll behold You as You are
All together we'll behold You as You are
We will see You God of Jacob
We will see Your heart
We will see You God of Jacob
See You as You are

Meaning & Inspiration
God of Jacob presents trust as a response to divine strength, nearness, and holiness. The song moves from conflict in the night to confidence in God’s presence each morning, then widens its focus to creation and reverent worship. Its language about clean hands and purified hearts closely follows Psalm 24, where those who approach the Lord are called to integrity. The repeated commitments to trust and seek God give the song the character of both confession and prayer.
The closing section turns toward the promised appearing of Christ and the hope of seeing him in glory. That expectation gives the earlier scenes of struggle a clear destination: present faith rests in the God who remains near, while future hope looks toward unhindered sight. Images of clouds, the throne room, and gathered worship draw together biblical themes without losing the song’s central simplicity. God is praised as Creator, defender, righteous judge, and King of glory, while the worshipper’s posture remains one of trust, reverence, and expectation.
