God Of This City Lyrics

You’re the God of this city
You’re the King of these people
You’re the Lord of this nation
You are...

You’re the light in this darkness
You’re the hope to the hopeless
You’re the peace to the restless
You are...

For there is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

Greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things have still to be done here

You’re the Lord of Creation
The Creator of all things
You’re the King above all Kings
You are...

You’re the strength in our weakness
You’re the love to the broken
You’re the joy in the sadness
You are...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song has been such a blessing. I volunteer at the humane society and sometimes I feel so disheartened by the animal situation throughout the world (and so many other horrible things happening). On the day I was at one of my lowest points, I heard this song on the radio. God is still working miracles in His city and pulling strings in our heart to let Him work in us and bring light to the darkness.

This song is a prayer and heartfelt worship to God! So amazing! Still so much to be done before we are in His kingdom!
