You Are Able

Christy Nockels strings together names of God in "You Are Able," among them Jehovah, provider, Abba Father, protector and healer of all things. Each verse pairs a name with a repeated "You, always You," so that the title attribute is built from what God has already been called in scripture.

The chorus turns those names into a statement of trust: "You're able, higher is our God than anything that comes our way. Come what may, You alone forever stay." The song places God above circumstance and does not promise that circumstance will change.

Lines such as "keeper of history, glorious mystery" and "fulfillment of every longing of man" widen the view from personal need to the whole story of human desire. The bridge narrows again to "we trust no other name, our hope is in You." Jehovah-jireh (Genesis 22:14) and the cry of "Abba" (Romans 8:15) supply the main references, and Ephesians 3:20 describes God as able to do more than we ask or imagine.
