God Did That Himself

Lyrics

# GOD DID THAT HIMSELF

[Intro]

[Heavy Hammond B3, syncopated drums, bass popping under sharp piano chords]

[Lead]
Hold up!

Before you call it luck—
before you call it timing—
before you say, “Things just worked out”—

No.

God did that Himself!

[Choir]
God did that!

[Lead]
I said God did that Himself!

[Choir]
God did that!

[Verse 1]

[Lead]
I didn’t know the right person
I didn’t have the inside track
Didn’t have enough favor with people
To explain how I got that back

I watched a door swing open
Nobody could take the credit
Even the folks who tried to stop it
Had to stand there and let it

[Choir]
God did that!

[Lead]
I didn’t manipulate it

[Choir]
God did that!

[Lead]
I didn’t force it

[Choir]
God did that!

[Lead]
I didn’t beg anybody
to put my name at the top

[Choir]
God did that!

[Chorus]

[Lead]
God did that Himself!

[Choir]
God did that!

[Lead]
Made the way Himself!

[Choir]
God did that!

[Lead]
Opened the door Himself!

[Choir]
God did that!

[Lead]
Kept me standing Himself!

[Choir]
God did that!

[Lead]
I can’t give people
credit for what only God could do!

[Choir]
God did that Himself!

[Verse 2]

[Lead]
There were nights I thought
the whole thing was finished
People changed
and support got diminished

But Psalm 75 says
promotion doesn’t come
from the east or the west

“God is the judge:
he putteth down one,
and setteth up another.”

[Choir]
That’s the Word!

[Lead]
So if God put me here—

[Choir]
Stay there!

[Lead]
If God opened it—

[Choir]
Walk through!

[Lead]
If God said yes—

[Choir]
Who can say no?

[Lead]
And if He said no,
quit trying to make it yes!

[Choir]
Leave it alone!

[Minister Break]

[Band drops to organ and bass]

[Lead]
Some of you keep thanking
the wrong people too much.

Yes, honor people.

Yes, appreciate people.

But don’t confuse the vessel
with the source.

That person didn’t wake you up.

That manager didn’t keep your mind.

That friend didn’t hold your life together.

That connection didn’t create your future.

James 1:17 says,
“Every good gift
and every perfect gift
is from above.”

So thank them.

But worship Him.

[Choir]
Worship Him!

[Lead]
Thank the person!

[Choir]
Worship Him!

[Lead]
Appreciate the opportunity!

[Choir]
Worship Him!

[Lead]
But remember where it came from!

[Choir]
From the Lord!

[Chorus]

[Lead]
God did that Himself!

[Choir]
God did that!

[Lead]
When I had no answer!

[Choir]
God did that!

[Lead]
When the numbers didn’t work!

[Choir]
God did that!

[Lead]
When people backed away!

[Choir]
God did that!

[Lead]
When I should’ve fallen apart!

[Choir]
God did that!

[Drive]

[Lead]
Who kept you?

[Choir]
God did!

[Lead]
Who covered you?

[Choir]
God did!

[Lead]
Who warned you?

[Choir]
God did!

[Lead]
Who blocked it?

[Choir]
God did!

[Lead]
Who opened it?

[Choir]
God did!

[Lead]
Who closed it?

[Choir]
God did!

[Lead]
Who gave you another chance?

[Choir]
God did!

[Lead]
Who deserves the glory?

[Choir]
GOD DOES!

[Lead]
Say it louder!

[Choir]
GOD DOES!

[Lead]
Not luck!

[Choir]
God did it!

[Lead]
Not chance!

[Choir]
God did it!

[Lead]
Not coincidence!

[Choir]
God did it!

[Lead]
Not because I was so smart!

[Choir]
God did it!

[Lead]
Not because I was so good!

[Choir]
God did it!

[Lead]
Mercy stepped in!

[Choir]
God did it!

[Final Vamp]

[Lead]
I know where the help came from!

[Choir]
From the Lord!

[Lead]
I know where the strength came from!

[Choir]
From the Lord!

[Lead]
I know where the favor came from!

[Choir]
From the Lord!

[Lead]
I know where the mercy came from!

[Choir]
From the Lord!

[Lead]
Psalm 121 says,
“My help cometh from the Lord,
which made heaven and earth.”

So I won’t act confused
about who deserves the praise!

[Choir]
Give Him glory!

[Lead]
For the door!

[Choir]
Give Him glory!

[Lead]
For the warning!

[Choir]
Give Him glory!

[Lead]
For the protection!

[Choir]
Give Him glory!

[Lead]
For what I know about!

[Choir]
Give Him glory!

[Lead]
And what I still don’t know He kept me from!

[Choir]
GIVE HIM GLORY!

[Outro]

[Lead]
When they ask you how it happened,
don’t make the story complicated.

Just tell them—

[Choir]
GOD DID THAT!

[Lead]
Who did it?

[Choir]
GOD DID THAT!

[Lead]
And who gets the glory?

[Choir]
GOD GETS THE GLORY!

[Lead]
That settles it.

[Choir]
God did that Himself!
