BIGGER
Citizen Way Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once there was a time
I put You in a box
Told You what You are
And what You're not
When everything was fine
I put You on the shelf
Running back to You
When I need help
But no more no more
‘Cuz You defied the laws of gravity
Took a near impossibility
A .01 percent certainty
And turned it into reality
Because You're
Bigger bigger
Bigger than my problems
You've already solved them
Bigger bigger
Than I could ever understand
The universe at Your command
What can stand against me
When You're bigger bigger bigger bigger
Ever since I took the dare
To take You at Your Word
Leave it all behind to seek You first
Every little scar
From walking in the dark
Every chain every blame every stain
Is no more no more
Cuz You defied the laws of gravity
Took a near impossibility
A .01 percent certainty
And turned it into reality
Because You're
Bigger bigger
Bigger than my problems
You've already solved them
Bigger bigger
Than I could ever understand
The universe at Your command
What can stand against me
When You're bigger bigger bigger bigger
Innocent you paid the price
And took my place on the cross
The darkness had won the fight
For 3 days all hope was lost
Death had the victory
But the best part of this story
Is You schooled the grave and came back to life
That ol' serpent couldn't believe his eyes
Cuz You defied the laws of gravity
Took a near impossibility
A .01 percent certainty
And turned it into reality
Because You're
Bigger bigger
Bigger than my problems
You've already solved them
Bigger bigger
Than I could ever understand
The universe at Your command
What can stand against me
When You're bigger bigger bigger bigger
Bigger
Bigger
Bigger
Bigger than my regret and my sorrow
Bigger than all my fears of tomorrow
Bigger than anything I'm facing
I'm gonna trust in You because ‘cuz You're Bigger
Bigger than my regret and my sorrow
Bigger than all my fears of tomorrow
Bigger than anything I'm facing




I'm gonna trust in You because
‘cuz You're Bigger

Once there was a time
There was a time in the past


I put You in a box
I tried to define You and Your abilities


Told You what You are
I limited You to only what I thought You were


And what You're not
I decided what You could not do


When everything was fine
I did not need You when things were going well


I put You on the shelf
I did not prioritize You or seek You actively


Running back to You
I only came to You when I needed help


When I need help
I sought You only when I was in trouble


But no more no more
I have realized that I need to change this behavior


‘Cuz You defied the laws of gravity
You did something seemingly impossible


Took a near impossibility
You accomplished something that was almost impossible to achieve


A .01 percent certainty
You made something that had a very low chance of happening, happen


And turned it into reality
You made it happen in actuality


Because You're Bigger bigger Bigger than my problems You've already solved them Bigger bigger Than I could ever understand The universe at Your command What can stand against me When You're bigger bigger bigger bigger
You are infinitely powerful and have the ability to overcome any problem or obstacle


Ever since I took the dare
Since I decided to take a risk


To take You at Your Word
To trust what You say


Leave it all behind to seek You first
I have let go of everything else to prioritize seeking You


Every little scar
Every experience that has left a mark on me


From walking in the dark
From living life without You


Every chain every blame every stain
Every negative thing that has held me back, burdened me, or tainted me


Is no more no more
You have taken away these things


Innocent you paid the price
You paid the price for my sins even though You were innocent


And took my place on the cross
You died on the cross in my place


The darkness had won the fight
Evil seemed to have triumphed


For 3 days all hope was lost
There was no hope for 3 days after Your death


Death had the victory
Death seemed to have won


But the best part of this story
The most important part of this narrative


Is You schooled the grave and came back to life
You defeated death and rose again


That ol' serpent couldn't believe his eyes
Satan was shocked by Your victory


Bigger Bigger Bigger Bigger than my regret and my sorrow Bigger than all my fears of tomorrow Bigger than anything I'm facing I'm gonna trust in You because ‘cuz You're Bigger Bigger than my regret and my sorrow Bigger than all my fears of tomorrow Bigger than anything I'm facing I'm gonna trust in You because ‘cuz You're Bigger
You are bigger than any negative emotion, any fear or worry, and any challenge or obstacle that I may face. Therefore, I will place my trust in You.

Once there was a time
I put You in a box
Told You what You are
And what You’re not
When everything was fine
I put You on the shelf
Running back to You
When I need help
But no more no more
‘Cuz You defied the laws of gravity
Took a near impossibility
A .01 percent certainty
And turned it into reality
Because You’re
Bigger bigger
Bigger than my problems
You’ve already solved them
Bigger bigger
Than I could ever understand
The universe at Your command
What can stand against me
When You’re bigger bigger bigger bigger
Ever since I took the dare
To take You at Your Word
Leave it all behind to seek You first
Every little scar
From walking in the dark
Every chain every blame every stain
Is no more no more
Innocent you paid the price
And took my place on the cross
The darkness had won the fight
For 3 days all hope was lost
Death had the victory
But the best part of this story
Is You schooled the grave and came back to life
That ol’ serpent couldn’t believe his eyes
Bigger than my regret and my sorrow
Bigger than all my fears of tomorrow
Bigger than anything I’m facing
I’m gonna trust in You because ‘cuz You’re Bigger

Thanks for this, helped clear a few misunderstandings at what he was saying. Though do consider defining and adding (chorus) whenever it appears if you write another one of these.
