Lyrics

Verse 1 (Repeat)


When I come into His presence
I humble myself,
I lift up both my hands,
And I begin to worship Him,
I worship Him.


Chorus


For all He's done for me,
Redeemed and set me free,
And because, just because He's God.


Verse 2 (Repeat)


When I come into His presence
I humble myself,
Remembering what He's done,
The victories He's won,
So I'll praise Him,
I'll praise Him.


Bridge


God, God, my God.
God, God, my God.


Chorus (Repeat)


Vamp


He's God.

Meaning & Inspiration

"He's God" opens by describing a specific posture, humbling oneself and lifting both hands upon entering God's presence, treating worship as a deliberate physical act rather than only an internal feeling. That description of posture repeats across both verses, each time followed by a different response, worship in the first, praise in the second.

Its chorus reduces an entire testimony to a short, repeated explanation, redeemed and set free, simply because God is God. That phrase, treating God's identity itself as sufficient reason for gratitude, avoids listing extended justification in favor of a single, confident conclusion.

Rooted in the choir's live congregational tradition, the song functions as a model for entering worship, its bridge repeating the plain declaration "God, my God" before returning to the chorus, building toward the closing vamp's single, settled statement that requires no further explanation.
