Lyrics

[Chorus]
Not by power, not by might
By the Spirit of the living, Spirit of the living God
Not by power
Not by power, aye
Not by power, aye
Not by power
Not by power, aye, not by power, aye
Spirit of the living
Holy Spirit, aye, by Your Spirit, aye
Spirit of the living
Spirit with me, yeah, Spirit with me, aye
Spirit of the living God
[Verse 1]
What you gon' do when my god come through?
If my squad go through, then we all go through
They say we gon' fall, but that can't come true
Put our faith in the one make the rain come through
[Verse 2]
I was broken gracefully until He elevated me
Took the wheel from A to Z, He doing things I can't believe
God put me on, don't hate on me
Jesus Christ said, "Wait on me"
I waited, waited patiently, but He was never late on me
Down bad had no balance in me, came back, got that Lazarus in me
'Bout to take a trip to Maverick City, got the clique, I'm bringing Cali with me, yeah
[Chorus]
Not by power, not by might
By the Spirit of the living, Spirit of the living God
Not by power
Not by power, aye
Not by power, aye
Not by power
Not by power aye, not by power, aye
Spirit of the living
Holy Spirit, aye, by Your Spirit, aye
Spirit of the living
Spirit with me, yeah, Spirit with me, aye
Spirit of the living God
[Verse 3]
He the only one to flx the issue
He ain't nothing like the clique you switched to
Meditate and make a wish on crystal
All of it is ill-equipped to fix you
Fight your battles when the people diss you
He be makin' sure the missile miss you
You've been through it, so He's careful with you
May not feel it, but He's there, He's with you
Do it big, like a old-school purse
No cap, like a old-school church
Prayers up for the souls who search
Got healing for the souls that's cursed
He the chain breaker, He the way maker, He the play maker
One touch, you will never be the same, I'm sure
Here to lift His name in here
[Chorus]
Not by power, not by might
By the Spirit of the living, Spirit of the living God
Not by power
Not by power,aye
Not by power,aye
Not by power
Not by power aye, not by power, aye
Spirit of the living
Holy Spirit, aye, by Your Spirit, aye
Spirit of the living
Spirit with me, yeah, Spirit with me
Spirit of the living God
[Chorus]
Not by power
Not by power, aye
Not by power, aye
Not by power
Not by power aye, not by power, aye
Spirit of the living
Holy Spirit, aye, by Your Spirit, aye
Spirit of the living
Spirit with me, yeah, Spirit with me, aye
Spirit of the living
[Outro]
Not by power
Not by power, not by might
It's not my battle
Not my battle, not my fight
By the Spirit of the living God
Not by power, it's not by might
Not by power
Not by power
