Somebody Bigger Than You and I
Revelations of a Higher Power in "Somebody Bigger Than You and I
Lyrics
Who made the mountain?
Reflecting on the creator of mountains.
Who made the trees?
Contemplating the originator of trees.
Who made the river
Pondering the source of the river flowing to the sea.
Flow to the sea?
Questioning the maker of the river's course.
Who hung the moon
Considering the creator of the moon in the starry sky.
In the starry sky?
Reflecting on a divine force greater than humanity.
Somebody bigger than you and I
Affirmation of the existence of somebody greater than the individual.
Who make the flowers
Questioning the originator of blooming flowers in spring.
Bloom in the spring?
Wondering about the composer of songs for robins to sing.
Who write the song
Posing questions about the provider of rain during dry times.
For the robin to sing?
Acknowledging a force larger than humanity in nature.
And who send the rain
-When the Earth is dry
Emphasizing the existence of a power greater than individuals.
Somebody bigger than you and I
Acknowledging the presence of somebody greater in the singer's life.
(He lights the way) He lights the way
Highlighting that this divine force lights the way in difficult times.
(When the road is long) when the road is long
Expressing support during challenging journeys.
And He'll keep you company
Assurance of companionship with love as a guide.
(With love to guide) with love to guide you
Emphasizing the role of love in providing guidance.
(He walks beside) He walks beside you
Illustrating the continuous presence of the divine force.
(Just like He walks with me) just like He walks with me, oh
Comparing the divine force's presence to a personal experience.
When I am weary
Acknowledging weariness and despair in the singer's life.
Filled with despair
Recognizing the need for courage in challenging times.
Who give me courage
Acknowledging that the courage comes from a higher power.
To go on from there
Expressing faith in the divine force's ability to provide strength.
And who give me faith
Acknowledging an enduring faith that transcends challenges.
That will never, never die
Emphasizing the everlasting nature of the faith given by the divine.
Somebody bigger than you and I
Acknowledging the presence of a force greater than the individual.
Somebody bigger than you and I
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of a power larger than oneself.
