Jahill's Lyrics:
Our God is greater,
and He changed my heart, He didn't just change me behavior.
God who is the creator, the Word, became flesh came down and became a Savior.
And died to redeem wicked men from their ways,
now through the blood of Christ we all can be saved.
By grace through faith just call on His name.
Jesus, the Lamb who was slaughtered and slain.
And crushed on a cross,
God poured out His perfect wrath on His son in exchange for the lost.
Now when God looks upon me He sees perfection,
cuz I died with Christ and rose in His Resurrection.
Because of these truths I will forever praise Him.
Thank God for His Justification!
Our God is greater,
greater then death,
greater then sin,
greater then men,
He has conquered all of them!
Outro:
I tried to find love in the streets but, it didn't happen.
Tried to find love in the sheets but, it didn't happen,
and when it happened what only really happened was lust,
cuz God is love and fornicating isn't godly and plus,
when I tried to find love in material things
I never was fulfilled so that led me to just buy more material things.
But then I found love in the Son Of God, who's love is true,
and ever since then I've been so in love with You.
I'm so in love with You,
I want the world to know I'm so in love with You.
I say it openly I'm so in love with You,
God I'm so in love with You.
Definately feeling this! This is inspiring. I like the mix of different music types as well as different people from different backgrounds all coming together. Proud of you J!

Check out the version entitled "Our God is Greater w/ lyrical remix hook" in which you can hear a gentleman in the back yelling, "Yes I am!" in response to Jahill's closing repeated declarations of "I'm so in love with you" and the like. It was glorious.
