BIGGER
Citizen Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
‘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
The lyrics to Citizen Way's "Bigger" speak of the realization of God's infinite power and authority over the universe. In the past, the singer admits to putting God in a box and only turning to Him for help when needed. However, through faith and trust, the singer learns that God can defy the laws of gravity and turn near-impossibilities into reality. The song tells the story of Jesus' triumph over death and how His power extends to every aspect of life, including one’s problems, fears, and regrets.
The lyrics also highlight the singer’s journey of leaving everything behind to seek God first. This journey includes walking through the dark, carrying scars, and being burdened by chains and blame. However, the singer acknowledges that through God's power, these struggles are no more.
The song culminates in a declaration of trust and faith in God's power. The words "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 'cause You're Bigger" remind listeners of the magnitude of God's power in contrast to life's struggles.

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

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.
