Story Behind the Song
Being a pastor's kid (PK for you in 'the know'), I was constantly exposed to reading and memorizing Bible verses. As a child, most seem like work. As a music pastor, I was reading James 1 (which I had memorized in its entirety), and the meaning finally came to me some 10 years later. This song was written as a result of that night.
Lyrics
You are God
Words and Music by Dave Beatty
My strength is weak, today Im aware
Theres a burden so deep, that I hate to share
Its a challenge I keep, and the load I bear
Its You I seek, to leave it there
With my deeds, I proclaim You
With my words, I will praise You
With my mouth, I declare, that You are God
With my eyes, I behold You
My hands, I lift to You
My heart will declare, You are God
You are God
The runner stays long, his endurance trained
Progressive marathon he survives the pain
Forbearance along, and his chances grave
He remembers a song, and the tides change
You are mighty [mighty]
You are Savior [Savior]
You are worthy [worthy]
My redeemer
And You are God
You are God
My strength is weak, today Im aware
Theres a burden so deep, that I hate to share
Atonement bleed, how can I compare
Your Son met my need, and has paid my fare
