Greater is Coming
Jekalyn Carr Lyrics

An olive has to go through three stages, for its oil to run:
The process an olive goes through, experiencing shaking, beating, and pressing, is analogous to the struggles individuals may encounter in their lives that ultimately yield a positive outcome.

And just like the olive, some of you may have felt like you go through the shaking, the beating and the pressing.
People can relate to the idea of feeling like they have been put through a difficult time of struggles, much like the olive that is shaken, beaten, and pressed.

You've went through all of that for your oil to flow
All the difficulties and hardships one may have faced were ultimately for their benefit, and the result is like the olive's oil flowing.

Now, your greater is coming
A feeling of optimism and the anticipation of achieving something great in the future is present.

If it had not been for the shaking,
Without the shaking experience, a person may not have been able to handle or manage the successes they would later encounter.

I never would have been ready for the making, no
The shaking experience helps a person to be prepared and ready for the successes they will later encounter in life.

If it had not been for the beating,
Without being negatively impacted by life's challenges, a person may never have known their full potential or strength.

I would have never knew how anointed I would be.
The negative experiences aided in one's self-discovery and awareness of their strength and godly abilities.

If it had not been for the pressing,
Without the weight of life's challenges, an individual may never have realized their capabilities or destiny.

I wouldn't be able to walk into my destiny.
The struggles were necessary to prepare one for their future path, and without them, they would lack the readiness required to succeed in their destiny.

He's preparing me, preparing me, preparing me for greater
God is helping to prepare and guide individuals toward greater success and fulfillment in their lives.

I feel a shaking in the Spirit,
There's a sense of spiritual movement or change taking place.

I feel a beating in the Spirit,
The presence of challenges or negative experiences associated with upcoming positive changes.

I feel a pressing in the Spirit,
The sensation of being weighed down or under pressure by changes, challenges, or hardships.

Preparing me for greater
These sensations are all part of the necessary preparation for achieving great success.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
Those who are faithful and loyal to God will still face challenges and hardships.

But the Lord delivereth them out,
However, those same individuals can trust in God to rescue them from those challenges.

Of them all
This applies to every challenge an individual may face.

Here comes my healer (it's coming)
God's healing power and love is present and forthcoming.

Look out world (it's coming)
The world will soon witness and experience an individual's success.

My greater is coming (it's coming)
A person's success and fulfillment is on the way.

I shall lack no more (it's coming)
There will be no shortage or deprivation in one's future.

You're preparing me for greater
God is helping to prepare and guide individuals toward greater success and fulfillment in their lives.

Thank you for the shaking (it's coming)
One can be thankful for the negative experiences, as they helped to prepare them for future success.

Cause I know (it's coming)
The presence of optimism and certainty that success is forthcoming.

My greater is coming, you're pulling me through
God is the source of the help that is pulling an individual through difficult experiences, leading them to their future success.

Oh my greater,
Refers to the promise of future success.

My greater is already here
One may have already achieved success that they once anticipated.

I'm walking into a new season,
One is stepping into a new period of their life, often marked by newfound success.

Oh, it's a new season
An expression of excitement and anticipation for the coming season of success.

Oh, deliverance is here
One has been delivered from their past hardships or challenges.
