Genre: Acoustic, Indie Rock, Worship
Citizens are another brilliant worship band from Mars Hill in Seattle. This song, Oh God, was written one night when lead singer Zach Bolen was led by the Holy Spirit to open up to the end of Romans Chapter 8 – “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
That’s where the inspiration for this song came from and it’s easy to notice the influence in the lyrics. This song is so raw with emotion and the recording really captures the intimacy between God and the lyricist.

Lyrics:
In the valley, Oh God, you’re near
In the quiet, Oh God, you’re near
In the shadow, Oh God, you’re near
At my breaking, Oh God, you’re near
Oh God, you never leave my side
Your love will stand firm for all my life
In my searching, Oh God, you’re near
In my wandering, Oh God, you’re near
When I feel alone, Oh God, you’re near
At my lowest, Oh God, you’re near
Height nor depth nor anything else
Could pull us apart
We are joined as one by your blood
Hope will rise as we become more
Than conquerors through
The one who loved the world

Power. Love. Music. Jesus!
So true good song
Beautiful.
Working on last project of finals in my undergrad and this came on in my playlist. Had to stop and just worship God. Quality, doctrinal sound music that captures the passion and power of our Lord.
Man heartbreaks sucks I pray to God to stay by my side and let me get through it
love it your hearts is strongers god love you god bleqs you god grace give you
Reminding me that He's already fought and won my struggles for my dreams to come true. The dreams placed in my heart since I was young. He's got it taken care of.
at my lowest. God is there ….. Amen praise God forever & ever
Que unção de música!!!
You know when you hear a song and it is timely? I felt like I was having an "Oh God help thy weak and fear filled child" and the title resonated with me… Isn't God awesome? He knew (oh the irony) that what I needed to hear most…was that He was aware of my situation while I was ignorant…and that of course… Him being an active and pro-active Father… He was not passive to my ignorance…and so while my ignorance has brought me the constraints I am currently facing… I know that God has already prepared the way forward… why? Because He knew… and He is faithful when I am faithless for He cannot deny Himself…what a good father…what grace. I just wanted to share my gratitude to Him for His work in me, for me and through me.
Cheers 🙂
Can all y'all guys pray for me pls for I can go to 9 grade plz pls pls plssssss
Tô in love kkk
Thank you for the lyrics. Exactly the kind of music I love, but about God!
Ima be real honest I've dealt with an addiction to pornography and masturbation for a long time now and im tired of it, sometimes i feel isolates by this problem and i feel as if I've been abandoned by God but im not, and im just asking to stop, and for prayers because i want to quit now. Please pray for me.
Beautiful beautiful song!!!
Esse recado foi deixado por você na data de hoje 20/10/2018. Você não teve o melhor dos anos, mas lembre-se daqui a 4 anos que você tá fazendo as coisas do jeito certo. E você escutou essa musica e léu a Biblia na passagem de Proverbios 14: 27.
I LOVE MY FAITH IN JESUS! i still need a closer brotherhood
I discovered this band with this song in 2016, they have blessed my life with their music since then… To God all glory!
