Greater Things
Bob Fitts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And saw a lame man walk
Mary and Martha watched
And saw a dead man talk
For the power of God
They saw that day
Jesus gave to You and me
To do greater things
Greater things than these
Shall you do in My name
Greater things than these
Because the power is the same
And He's promised to be with us
And to overcome the world
By greater things
Paul the Apostle lived
After the snake's deadly bite
John saw a vision too
Of the heavens open wide
For the Savior came
To conquer death
And to open eyes to see
These greater things
Greater things than these
Shall you do in My name
Greater things than these
Because the power is the same
And He's promised to be with us
And to overcome the world
By greater things
Greater things
Greater things
Like Peter I would this day
Walk upon the sea
Lord as You've bidden me
Come Your way
Mighty wonders I will see
For these signs shall follow
All who call upon Him
And believe in greater things
Greater things than these
Shall you do in His name
Greater things than these
Shall you do in His name
Greater things than these
Shall you do in His name
Greater things than these
Shall you do in His name
Greater things than these
Shall you do in His name
The lyrics of Bob Fitts's song "Greater Things" speak of the miraculous works of Jesus and his disciples, emphasizing the power of God bestowed upon believers to do even greater things in His name. The imagery of Peter and John speaking and witnessing a lame man walking, and Mary and Martha seeing a dead man talking, highlights the profound impact of God's power at work. It symbolizes the transformation and healing that can occur through faith and divine intervention, demonstrating the limitless potential when one aligns themselves with God's will.
The mention of Paul the Apostle surviving a deadly snake bite and John's vision of the heavens opening wide further conveys the theme of extraordinary events and spiritual revelations beyond earthly limitations. These stories serve as examples of the power of faith and the promise of overcoming obstacles and limitations through divine strength. The emphasis on conquering death and opening eyes to see represents the spiritual awakening and enlightenment that can result from embracing God's power and presence in one's life.
The repeated refrain of "Greater things than these shall you do in My name" conveys a message of empowerment and encouragement for believers to step into their own callings and ministries, confident in the power of God working through them. The promise of God's presence and the assurance of overcoming the world serve as sources of strength and inspiration for facing challenges and fulfilling one's purpose in a world filled with struggles and uncertainties.
The closing verses, where the singer expresses a desire to follow in the footsteps of Peter by walking on water and experiencing mighty wonders, encapsulates the yearning for miraculous encounters and divine manifestations in one's journey of faith. The song culminates in the affirmation that those who call upon God and believe in His name will witness and partake in greater things, echoing the transformative power of faith and the profound impact of aligning one's will with God's purposes.
