Tye Tribbett - If He Did It Before (Same God) Lyrics
Lyrics
Hey, if he did it before, he can do it again
Hey, if he did it before, he can do it again
1,2, 1,2, 1,2,3, go
I won't give in, no I'm not gonna turn around, yeah
I know I'll win, if I don't give up now
I am waiting, for my change to come in I know
He will come through, this is how I'm so sure
If he did it before, he can do it again
Same God right now, same God back then
If he did it before, he can do it again
Same God right now, same God back then
I've got power, I know I will overcome
Greater is in me, the fight ain't fair cause I've already won
and yes I may fall, and get knocked down to the ground
I know I'll rise up, this is how I'm so sure
If he did it before, he can do it again
Same God right now, same God back then
If he did it before, he can do it again
Same God right now, same God back then
Please be, encouraged, this is not the first storm you've been through
You've been through worse, you didn't come this far just to lose
He knows your needs, so take no thoughts on what you lost
God will restore, and this is how I'm sure
If he did it before, he can do it again
Same God right now, same God back then
If he did it before, he can do it again
Same God right now, same God back then.
He is same God right now
He is, He is same God right now
He is, same God right now
Same God right now
Same God back then
If He did it before,
He can do it again

Tye Tribbett - If He Did It Before....Same God
Meaning & Inspiration
Tye Tribbett’s electrifying 2013 release, "If He Did It Before (Same God)," isn't merely a song; it's a powerful declaration of unwavering faith set to an infectious rhythm. Emerging from Tribbett's prolific career in gospel music, this track serves as a potent reminder of God’s unchanging nature and His consistent power throughout history. The core message is simple yet profound: the God who performed miracles and delivered His people in the past is the very same God who walks with us through our present trials, capable of repeating His mighty works. This assurance is rooted in a deep understanding of Scripture, echoing promises like those found in Malachi 3:6, "For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed." The lyrics encourage listeners to draw strength from this immutable truth, asserting, "I know I'll win, if I don't give up now," a sentiment that resonates with the perseverance described in Romans 8:28, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."
The song’s narrative is one of hope in the face of adversity. Tribbett doesn't shy away from acknowledging that believers will face challenges, stating, "and yes I may fall, and get knocked down to the ground," but immediately counters this with the triumphant declaration, "I know I'll rise up." This resilience is directly tied to the unchanging character of God, reinforcing the idea that divine intervention isn't limited by time or circumstance. The repeated refrain, "Same God right now, same God back then," is a direct testament to God's covenant faithfulness, a theme woven throughout the Old and New Testaments, from His deliverance of Israel from Egypt to His redemptive work through Jesus Christ. The encouragement embedded within the lyrics – "Please be, encouraged, this is not the first storm you've been through" – is a pastoral call to remember past victories and draw confidence from them. This echoes the sentiment of 1 Corinthians 10:13, which assures that God will not allow us to be tempted beyond our ability but will provide a way of escape. Ultimately, "If He Did It Before (Same God)" is more than a song of encouragement; it's a theological treatise set to music, urging believers to anchor their hope in the eternal and unchanging power of their Creator.
