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'd do it again
Same God right now, same God back then
If He did it before, He'd do it again
Same God right now, same God back then
(I've got power) 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, may 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'd do it again
Same God right now, same God back then
If He did it before, He'd do it again, yeah
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 declaration, "If He Did It Before....Same God," released on April 9, 2013, is more than just a song; it's a powerful testament to unwavering faith in the unchangeable nature of God. This track, born from a deep well of personal experience and theological certainty, serves as a resounding anthem of hope and resilience for anyone facing trials. The core message is rooted in the foundational biblical principle that God’s character and His power are constant. Tribbett is essentially reminding us, and perhaps himself, that the same divine intervention that brought victory in the past is available today because the source of that power remains the same. He anchors this conviction in the enduring truth articulated in Hebrews 13:8, stating, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." This unchanging nature of God is not just a passive attribute but an active promise, guaranteeing that His capacity to deliver, to heal, and to transform has not diminished with time.
The narrative woven through the song speaks to the human experience of struggle and the temptation to surrender. Tribbett acknowledges the reality of falling, of being knocked down, but immediately counters this with an unshakeable assurance of rising. This perspective finds deep resonance in passages like Romans 8:37, which proclaims that "in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." The song’s call to endure, to press on, is echoed in the wisdom of Galatians 6:9: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." The recurring phrase, "Same God right now, same God back then," functions as a powerful mantra, reinforcing the belief that divine promises made in scripture are not relics of history but living realities. It’s a direct challenge to doubt, urging listeners to draw strength from the countless examples of God's faithfulness throughout biblical accounts, from parting the Red Sea to delivering Daniel from the lion's den, and to apply that same expectation to their present circumstances. Tribbett’s emphasis on God knowing our needs and restoring what has been lost aligns perfectly with the promises found in Philippians 4:19: "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." The song isn’t just about recalling past miracles; it's about activating present faith by understanding the immutable character of the God who performs them. It’s a call to stand firm, knowing that the same God who brought liberation and victory before possesses all the power and desire to do so again, making it a truly inspiring piece for anyone seeking encouragement and a renewed sense of divine possibility.
