Mighty to Save

Some people might read that and say "Huh? What in the world does that mean??" Well, I think it means something different to everyone. To me, this song glorifies the mightiness of God and His perfect love for us. He made us exactly who He wanted us to be, in His perfect image, even with all our flaws. He wants us to come to Him with those flaws, and ask Him to take over our life. That's pretty darn scary. Total surrender. That means I would live my whole life the way God wants me to, not the way I want to.
My favorite part about this song is the very last chorus Laura sings. She makes it personal. "You can move the mountains...You rose and conquered the grave..." It makes it seem like this is an actual person we're talking about, not just an invisible being hanging out somewhere in the sky. Is that hard to wrap your brain around? It is for me. God is as big or as small as He needs to be, and His Son was fully human, and fully God. Wow. That's insanely cool.

Mighty to Save
~Laura Story


Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
A kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations

Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Yes I surrender

Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus

Savior
You can move the mountains
God You are mighty to save
You are mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
You rose and conquered the grave
Yes You conquered the grave
