You part the ocean
You calm the raging sea
You are able to do this in me
You said You're for me
So who can stand against
You are with me Lord I know that

Nothing is too hard for You 2x

I know my God is able
I know His love never fails
I know my God is able
I believe in You

I trust in You with all I am
Cause I know You have the master plan
So I'll throw my life into Your hands
For Your glory for Your glory
