If God be for me
Who can be against me now
Nothing can be against me now
If God Almighty
Who lives inside me
Who can be against me now
Nothing can be against me now
I will not fear
For I know You're with me everywhere I go
I will stand here
Though my world is shaken I will wait on You
I will not fear
Though the storm is rising You are my rescue
I will stand here
Stand upon Your promise
What Your word says I believe
If God be for me
If God be for me
Who can be against me now
Nothing can be against me now
If God Almighty
Who lives inside me
Who can be against me now
Nothing can be against me
If God be for me
Oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh oh oh oh-oh
Greater is He that is in me
Greater is He that is in me (whoa)
Greater is He that is in me
Than he that is in the world I believe
No weapon formed against me
No weapon formed against me (no)
No weapon formed against me shall ever prosper
