Psalm 68 - Let Our God Arise
Kurt Carr's 'Psalm 68 (Let Our God Arise!)' is a powerful gospel anthem that celebrates God's might and victory. The song references God's triumph over death and the grave through the resurrection of Jesus, and it calls on God to arise and display His power in the present. It also recalls the miracle of raising a man from the dead after three days, emphasizing God's ability to do the impossible. The lyrics express confidence in God's strength and encourage believers to trust in His power to work in their lives and circumstances.
[Verse 1:]
You are the awesome Mighty One now,
Your enemies they better run now.
They are no match no comparison,
Died on the cross to overcome.
You took the sting out of death that day,
Conquering both hell and the grave.
And if You did all these things,
What can You do in this place, hey?
[Chorus:]
Oh, oh, oh let our God arise.
[Verse 2:]
You are amazing, powerful,
And You are strong, invincible,
And You're greater than incredible,
And You defy impossible.
A man was dead for three whole days,
But You told him to live, get up from the grave.
You are a miracle working God,
So do Your thing in this place.
[Bridge:]
Arise, arise,
Put on Your strength and power, oh, great God;
Power, power belongs to God.
[Chorus]
[Vamp 1:]
(He's got all power) in His hands.
(He's got all power) in His hands.
(He's got all power) in His hands;
Let our God arise.
[Vamp 2:]
(He's got you and me brother) in His hands.
(He's got you and me brother) in His hands.
(He's got you and me brother) in His hands;
Let our God arise.
[Chorus]
