My God Is Still The Same
Sanctus Real Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If they are stilled at the mention of His name
They'll say my God is still the same
Ask the walls
If they still fall at the mighty sound of praise
They'll say my God is still the same
When did He break His promise?
Never has, never will
My God is still the same
When did He lose His power?
When did His mercy change?
Never has, never will
My God is still the same, yeah
My God is still the same
Just ask the words
You prayed in desperation if they're heard
They'll say my God is still the same
Ask the grave
If it's strong enough to keep hope in it's chains
It'll say, "God is still the same"
Yeah
When did He break His promise?
When did His kindness fail?
Never has, never will
My God is still the same
When did He lose His power?
When did His mercy change?
Never has, never will
My God is still the same, yeah
Not once did He ever stop moving
Not once has He ever let go
Not once did He ever stop proving
Our God is in control

Not once has He ever let go
Not once did He ever stop proving

The lyrics to Sanctus Real's "My God Is Still The Same" reassure listeners that God is just as powerful, kind, and merciful as He has always been. The song calls to mind several Old Testament stories in which God proved His power and faithfulness, such as when He parted the Red Sea and caused the walls of Jericho to crumble. The chorus repeats the statement "When did He break His promise? When did His kindness fail? Never has, never will. My God is still the same." This unchanging nature of God is celebrated throughout the song - from the waves to the walls to the prayers of desperation, everything testifies to a consistent, ever-present God.
The song's bridge emphasizes the idea of God being in control. The lyrics read, "Not once did He ever stop moving. Not once has He ever let go. Not once did He ever stop proving. Our God is in control." This affirmation encourages listeners to trust God even when the waves are high and the walls seem insurmountable. The song's overall message is one of hope and reassurance that God has always been faithful and will always remain so, despite whatever tribulations and trials we may face.

Sometimes when I walk around the house with music and earbuds, my sister comes over and asks for the phone. I pull out the earbuds and give it to her and she picks this song on my playlist. She goes around the house or in one place with the phone in hand and sings to this song. When the chorus comes, she lets loose all the lines she knows! She smiles and gives praises to the true King. My sister is 4. I sometimes cry when I see her do this. Amen. ❤️
