Artist: Chris Tomlin album: "And If Our God Is For Us..." (2010)

"Our God"

Water You turned into wine, opened the eyes of the blind
there's no one like You, none like You!
Into the darkness You shine, out of the ashes we rise
there's no one like You, none like You!

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God! Our God!

Into the darkness You shine, out of the ashes we rise
there's no one like You, none like You!

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God! Our God!
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God, You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God! Our God!

And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?
And if our God is with us, then what could stand against?
And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?
And if our God is with us, then what could stand against?
Then what could stand against?

"Our God" was originally included on "Passion: Awakening", a live record from the 2010 gathering of the Passion Conferences, and released as a single.

The ending of this song refers to the Bible's Romans 8:31, which says, "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" The clause "if God is for us" gave the idea to Chris Tomlin's album's title.

In 2011, Chris Tomlin recorded a remake of this track with rapper Lecrae. The latter told songfacts.com, "We connected at the Passion conference and that's where I really got to know Chris. We just really connected and we have a lot of commonalities.

I was really honored that they invited me to get on stage. What's funny is that they just have been very warm and open with us for years, and then it culminated in him asking us to be on the song."

At the 2011 Dove Awards, Chris Tomlin won "Worship Song of the Year" with "Our God" and performed the song at the ceremony. He also won "Top Christian Song" and "Top Christian Artist" at the Billboard Music Awards" the same year.

Matt Redman, one of Chris Tomlin's co-writers, recorded a version of the song for his compilation album, "Sing Like Never Before: The Essential Collection" (2012).
