The lyrics to Eben's song Dis Kind God are a reflection of gratitude and amazement at God's goodness and greatness. The song opens with the singer entering a place where he sees people blessed by God and miracles happening everywhere. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of awe and wonder, and the singer acknowledges that it is only possible because of God's kindness and love. He declares that God is not like man and gives thanks for all the things God has done in his life.
In the second verse, the singer addresses some people who might be wondering how he is succeeding despite their assumptions about him. He talks about how some people are interested in knowing the source of his wealth, his fashion, and other things that seem to bother them. In response, the singer again affirms that it is only God's doing and not human ingenuity that has made him successful. He concludes by praising God for his greatness and expresses his love for God.
The song is a declaration of faith and gratitude to God. It captures the essence of the Christian faith and encourages believers to put their trust in God. The catchy chorus and upbeat tempo make it a favorite among Christians and non-Christians alike. The message of the song is simple yet powerful: God is good, and He can do great things beyond our imagination.
