One night in extended spontaneous worship, the Holy Spirit dropped the phrase “Nothing is impossible” onto us and we sang it over and over. We sang it in intercession and warfare for all kinds of situations and needs, and we sang it just to proclaim it to His glory. It lasted a long time. Over time, I felt compelled to see if a whole song was there and came up with the first two couplets and the melody quite quickly while on a personal retreat at a friend’s house on the Isle of Palms. It took a lot more time and anxiety for the other couplets to come. It just seemed impossible!

I finally asked many friends and songwriters to help me finish it, but no one seemed to have the key. Finally, it all came together. All of the vignettes are from biblical examples where something seemed impossible but God made a way.* I would hope that as people sing this song, they will be encouraged in knowing that if God did it for His people back then, He can do it today. I hope further that you would use it as a means of warfare. Singing this truth into the hard realities of your life and the needs of the world, and on behalf of the lost, will not only lift you up but I believe will have an effect in the spiritual realm to shake the kingdom of darkness and advance the Kingdom of God.

We decided to dedicate this song to our dear sister in Christ, Sarah Lyles Long. You may have seen this young girl’s picture in the full page ad run by Wal-Mart in newspapers across the country. Her letter to nominate her teacher for National Teacher of the Year won this honor for her teacher, and the two of them were pictured in the ad with the caption beneath it, “Nothing is impossible.” Sarah Lyles has been paralyzed and confined to a wheel chair for several years due to a complication after surgery on a brain tumor. We would love for you to join with us in praying for her recovery.

* To be fair, although Gideon saw a major victory in battle when it seemed impossible, the point in this couplet is really addressing the issue behind the whole book of the Judges in the Old Testament, which was Israel’s inability to stop worshiping foreign gods in Canaan. Before Gideon went to battle against the Midianites, he tore down his father’s altar to Baal and the Asherah pole beside it and built instead an altar to the Lord on top of the stronghold. His battle strategy, as given to him by the Lord, began with lesser gods, even those that rule over sexual immorality. After Gideon died, no one continued this battle; in fact, we are told Israel returned to these gods. These battles have yet to be won … but nothing is impossible.

Standing on the bank of the Red Sea:
How will You deliver me?
Marching 'round the walls of Jericho:
How could we expect to ever conquer this stronghold?

Nothing is impossible, nothing is impossible,
Nothing is impossible for my Lord Jesus.

Stepping through the gates of Nineveh:
Will my witness be enough?
Returning from the battle with Gideon:
Now can we overcome there foreign gods here in Canaan?

Be strong and courageous
Do not be dismayed
For the Lord, our God, is with us,
And nothing is too hard for Yahweh!

Watching at the tomb of Lazarus:
Can even death be overcome?
