Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
We have every confidence that He is faithful
Yes, our testimony is the living proof
And if you doubt the evidence that He is able
Open your eyes, people get ready
Just build an altar
Drench it in water
Stand back in wonder
He'll start a fire
Nothing can stop Him
There's no one like Him
He holds all power
This is our God
He makes a mountain move with just a whisper
He calls the dead to walk out of a grave
Let the ones that He redeemed lift up a banner
Now is the time, people get ready
Just build an altar
Drench it in water
Stand back in wonder
He'll start a fire
Nothing can stop Him
There's no one like Him
He holds all power
This is our God
If you're running from Pharaoh, He saves
Put your staff in the water in faith
Shout it out over Jericho and wait
It's gonna fall down, gonna fall down
If the odds are against you, He saves
He can work with a handful of faith
It doesn't matter the giants you face
They're gonna fall down, gonna fall down
If you're running from Pharaoh, He saves
Put your staff in the water in faith
Shout it out over Jericho and wait
It's gonna fall down, gonna fall down
If the odds are against you, He saves
He can work with a handful of faith
It doesn't matter the giants you face
They're gonna fall down, gonna fall down
Gonna fall down
Gonna fall down, gonna fall down
Gonna fall down
People get ready
Just build an altar
Drench it in water
Stand back in wonder
He'll start a fire
Nothing can stop Him
There's no one like Him
He holds all power
This is our God
Just build an altar
Drench it in water
Stand back in wonder
He'll start a fire
Nothing can stop Him
There's no one like Him
He holds all power
This is our God
If you're running from Pharaoh, He saves
Put your staff in the water in faith
Shout it out over Jericho and wait
It's gonna fall down, gonna fall down
If the odds are against you, He saves
He can work with a handful of faith
It doesn't matter the giants you face
They're gonna fall down, gonna fall down
Gonna fall down
Gonna fall down, gonna fall down
Gonna fall down
People get ready
