Lyrics
You are God
God my God
I know we tried to define you
Attempted to describe you
It's hard to exemplify your word
Even I call you great
And there's nobody greater
But sometimes I just should call upon your name
In your name there is safety and security
And whosoever calls on you can be saved
Oh God, your name has so much strength
Your name alone is strong
(For you are God) You are God
(There's no one else like you, you are God) You are God
(Your name is strong, I need you, you are) You are God
(The one and only God) God my God
Heaven and earth shall pass away
But your name will remain
And everyone will declare that you are God
(Yes heaven and earth)
Yes heaven and earth shall pass away
But your name will remain
And everyone will declare that you are God
For you are God (You are God)
Yes you are, yes you are
The one and only God (You are God)
You are God
(Your name alone has strength)
Your name alone
(Your name alone is strong)
You are a strong tower
(Your name alone has strength)
God my God (God my God)
Your name has power
Your name is strong
Just call his name, God my God
Your name is a strong tower
(Your name is a strong tower)
I run in and I am saved
(I run in and I am saved)
God my God
(God my God)
Your name alone is strong
(Your name alone is strong)
Your name is a strong tower
(Your name is a strong tower)
Yes Lord
I run in and I am saved
(I run in and I am saved)
God my God
(God my God)
God my God
(God my God)
Your name, it saves
(God my God)
Your name, it heals
(God my God)
God my God (God my God)
God my God (God my God)
I will call on your name (God my God)
I will call on your name (God my God)
Your name has power (God my God)
Your name is strong (God my God)
Cause you're everything Lord (God my God)
Yes you're everything (God my God)
Now worship Him
I love the name of Jesus...

Meaning & Inspiration
“God My God” concentrates on the strength and saving authority associated with God’s name. The opening acknowledges the limits of human descriptions: words such as “great” cannot fully express who God is. Rather than continuing to define him, the singer turns toward calling on his name, where the lyrics locate safety, healing, and salvation.
The strong-tower image closely echoes biblical wisdom about the righteous finding refuge in the Lord’s name. Other lines look toward the enduring rule of God even when heaven and earth pass away, and toward a universal confession of his authority. The extended repetitions function as declarations of dependence rather than new arguments. Each return to “God my God” makes the confession personal, while the closing invitation to worship directs attention to Jesus. The song therefore joins praise with trust, presenting God’s name as a refuge for those who call upon him.
