Michael W. Smith - Sovereign Over Us Lyrics






There is strength within the sorrow
There is beauty in our tears
And You meet us in our mourning
With a love that casts out fear
You are working in our waiting
You're sanctifying us
When beyond our understanding
You're teaching us to trust

Your plans are still to prosper
You have not forgotten us
You're with us in the fire and the flood
You're faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us

You are wisdom unimagined
Who could understand Your ways
Reigning high above the Heavens
Reaching down in endless grace
You're the lifter of the lowly
Compassionate and kind
You surround and You uphold me
And Your promises are my delight

Your plans are still to prosper
You have not forgotten us
You're with us in the fire and the flood
You're faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us
[x2]

Even what the enemy means for evil
You turn it for our good
You turn it for our good and for Your glory
Even in the valley, You are faithful
You're working for our good
You're working for our good and for Your glory
[x2]

Your plans are still to prosper
You have not forgotten us
You're with us in the fire and the flood
You're faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us
[x2]

You're faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us

    Yesterday was April 14 2019, it was 3 years anniversary that faced fraudulent medical practice caused by Universal Health Services (UHS) but the Lord brought me out victoriously 3 years ago. The same day but different year, yesterday that was that I heard this song the first time. The enemy tried to hurt us but God is turning it into good all for HIS glory. God is so detailed in everything He does. He cares about us in every single details. He is so perfect timing, praise God!

    Such a powerful song. I remember listening to this on a repeat loop a few years ago when I went through a heartbreak that shattered my world. This was song together with +Hide Myself +The One That Really Matters (both from the same album) were the only 3 songs I could bear to listen to at the time, every other song no matter who by just made me angry.
    These songs were the lifeline that helped me cling on to Jesus when nothing else seemed to make sense anymore

  42. h.... D....

    I notice Mr. Smith is 'touring', and with the 'newsboys', Umm, when it comes to Jesus, YOU DON'T CHARGE MONEY. There's no TICKETS with Jesus. You can take up an offering, because the bible says God loves a cheerful giver - Second Corinthians 9:7 'Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.' That verse 'give not of necessity' kills Smith's/newsboys CHARGING money for tickets, because if what they were doing was really of God, God would provide for them, SEPARATE from CHARGING money for 'tickets'. 'Tickets' aren't even biblical. Can you fathom, when Jesus was on the earth, if he and/or his disciples, were CHARGING MONEY AND TICKETS to 'see' Jesus? No, Jesus leaves the 99 sheep and personally goes and looks for the lost one, finds it, and brings it back to the fold, JESUS COMES TO US, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND, in fact, freewill, so-called, is a lie, NO ONE is capable of coming to Jesus, unless the Father draws them, by the Holy Ghost. - John 6:44 'No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him'. There is nothing 'free' about man's so called 'free will'. Man is bound in sin, depraved, wicked, evil to the uttermost. It takes God through Jesus COMING TO US to set us free. God chooses you, you don't chose God, you can't, you're not capable to, and even if we were, no one would still not choose God, because the bible says all seek their own things, not the things that are Jesus Christ's. Michael Smith is so worldly its pathetic, as are most people who 'follow' him. I'd say most people who 'follow' smith, aren't even born again in Jesus, don't know what it means, and DEFINITELY are NOT baptised in the Holy Ghost. Only God can tell me if smith himself is even born again in Jesus. He seems more of an 'entertainer'. In Nashville, Tennesse, its been a goodly number of years, they started, I don't know if they cancelled it, I hope to God they did, but, they named a certain day 'Michael W Smith' day! That's blasphemous. All glory, honour, praise, everything, belongs to God, and God Alone. -see the Steve Green song here on youtube with the lyrics for God and God Alone. These people make a mockery of Jesus! 'Party time for Jesus! is their motto. The bible says 'woe when all men speak well of you'. I've never seen smith with any controversy, no one speaks out against all the wrong he's doing, he's mr. popularity - 'woe when all men speak well of you.' Yeshua/Jesus WAS NOT a 'loved' and 'accepted 'person'. Michael W Smith and all his 'followers are W I M P S. Most of them including smith himself probably don't even know the scriptures. The verse 'give not of necessity' also KILLS tithes/tithing. Jesus fulfilled all. Tithes are no more. As scripture says, you give out of the abundance of your heart, what the Lord would have you to, if even at all, there's no necessity, no requirement. Original tithing anyways was never money, it was goods, supplies, etc., like trading. I wouldn't pay one red cent to see mr smith, i would 'see' him for free! He and all his 'followers' are hypocrites. You may as well say smith has a 'cult following'. Smith has ignored direct questioning to him about all kinds of subjects. Smith sings about God's Sovereignty, yet he really doesn't believe or understand just how Soverign God is over EVERYTHING, good and evil. Columbine High School was God's will, just as everything that hapens is God's will. God bless America? what a joke! God hasn't blessed America, if ever, since, probably its founding, what, with today's killing/murdering of more than 53 million unborn babies in their mother's tombs? With rampant homosexuality, transvestism, pornography, any/every kind of evil you can name going on, God's not going to 'bless' America! He's going to curse it! if he hasn't already! America has long been for decades A SATANIC NATION UNDER SATAN. America for decades has been by God, turned over to reprobacy! I've never seen 'smith' and all these 'christian' 'people' 'singers' whatever - and the 'dove' awards are another total joke! lol you don't come together, pat each other on the backs, and give each other 'awards' lol, pathetic. I suppose that's 'these people's' 'attempt' to copy the world. And the whole 'dove thing' is idolatry! scripture says the Spirit rested upon Jesus LIKE A DOVE, it never said 'as a dove'. As I was saying, I've NEVER seen smith or any of 'these people' whoever in the world they are, lead people in a prayer request to receive Jesus! not once! not on film, or live, nothing! These people are backwards, they put themselves first, and expect God to 'deliver', instead of God SHOWING them he has, is, and always will be in control of all! It's ALL GOD, AND NONE OF MAN!

    What a beautiful peace. Sometimes life puts us in a corner and we get depressed but God always turn these circumstances into a wonderful testimony. This song blesses me a lot. I pray that we all find comfort in God and serve Him passionately. Let's rise beyond our adversities to lift the name of our Mighty God.

    I lost two brothers after being involved in a car accident on 20th May, 2016. One died same night of the accident, the other who was younger and closest to me and whom I was guardian to when the rest of the family went for burial of the older one died 2 days later on 22nd May, 2016. My faith in God was deeply shaken. My hardest prayer I said it for this little brother of mine to survive as a solace to the family. Everything about God never made sense to me. Only music was my comfort and not any prayers from friends and family. And then I came across this song and these lyrics made me fell deep in love with the song
    " There is strength within the sorrow
    There is beauty in our tears
    And You meet us in our mourning
    With a love that casts out fear
    You are working in our waiting
    You're sanctifying us
    When beyond our understanding
    You're teaching us to trust"

    I cried deeply in me but the song taught me to trust in the Lord more for His wisdom is beyond our understanding. I miss my brothers so much but this song is a great comfort and reminder that God is still on the throne

    MWS seems to be the center of my life's events. "Our" song between my husband and I is "Dreams" and when we got married we wanted a version of The Lord's Prayer perform during communion. Smith's version, "As It Is In Heaven" perfectly fit the bill. I still break out in years when I hear it! I started following him in March 1984. One of my very top favorite Contemporary Christian artists. God bless you, Smitty!
