Vicki Yohe - Jehovah Jireh Lyrics
Lyrics
All of God's children
We have gathered in this place
To entertain the spirit of the Lord
Heaven is waiting and the angels are here
So let us get our minds in one accord
Jehovah Jeirah our provider's ready to provide
Everything you want and need
Our Lord he will supply
Let us make a joyful noise
And lift up holy hands
We've come into his presence
Now let's make a holy stand
If you want a blessing that you just cannot contain
Celebrate his power through the glory of his name
I'm hungry and I'm thirsty
And I'm coming as a child
My heart is open to your perfect will
I lay all my burdens and my cares at your feet
I walk in victory because you're real
We have a right to lift our voice and praise the King
Let the children of the Lord
Make the heavens ring

Because of Who you Are-Vicki Yohe
Meaning & Inspiration
Vicki Yohe's powerful declaration, "Jehovah Jireh," released on March 29, 2008, as part of the album *Because of Who You Are*, stands as a profound musical testament to God's provision, drawing deeply from the rich narrative of Scripture. The song’s genesis, rooted in the foundational promise found in Genesis 22:14, where Abraham names the mountain where God provided a ram for sacrifice "The Lord Will Provide," immediately establishes its theological core. This biblical appellation, "Jehovah Jireh," is not merely a title but a recurring theme of God's faithfulness throughout the Old and New Testaments, underscoring His active role in meeting the needs of His people. Yohe’s rendition breathes vibrant life into this ancient truth, shifting the focus from the melody, though compelling, to the unwavering message of divine sufficiency. The song serves as an extended meditation on how God, as Jehovah Jireh, not only supplies our physical and material needs but, more importantly, our spiritual ones, offering redemption and abundant life through Jesus Christ. This expansive understanding resonates with passages like Philippians 4:19, which assures believers that "my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Furthermore, the song’s declaration of God's provision can be understood as a reflection of His commitment to us as outlined in Romans 8:32, where the Apostle Paul rhetorically asks, "He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" The impact of "Jehovah Jireh" lies in its ability to elevate the listener’s gaze towards the Creator, reminding them that in every circumstance, whether trial or triumph, God's provision is assured, a truth echoed in Psalm 23:1: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." Yohe’s powerful vocal delivery amplifies the song’s profound message, encouraging a steadfast trust in the One who has already demonstrated the ultimate act of provision by giving His Son for humanity. It is a song that inspires a posture of dependence and gratitude, grounded in the unchanging character of God, who consistently demonstrates His covenant faithfulness by providing for those who put their trust in Him, fulfilling His promises through every season of life.
