God did it by Micah Tyler is a song that speaks of God’s gracious work to bring to effect monumental milestones in a believer’s life, like transformation, or often underlooked blessings like the breath of life.
It’s a call to call to memory of the deeds of God evident in our lives, causing us to ascribe all glory and praise to Him alone.
As on his other songs, Micah Tyler has gone heavy on the themes of grace and transformation:
When I was writing God Did It I really started thinking about, “What has God done,” and a lot of my memories are attached to honestly, some of my songs. That’s why when you look into the lyrics of this music you’ll see a little bit of a reference to “Walking Free,” a little bit of “Your Mercies Are New Today.”
Because at the end of the day, God showed me the gospel in a way that made me write the other songs. When I think about what God has done, I think about these songs too.

There’s hardly a thing we could ever do alone, on the account of our own strength. God alone saves, sustains, provides, and even assures us of an eternity spent with Him, if we believe. Listening to this song should move us into praise, and encouragement, that God is always at work in us.
Song review
Scripture backing
God Did It by Micah Tyler dwells on several of God’s works in a believer, including:
- Salvation
- Life and sustenance
- Adoption
- Transformation
- Renewal
These are accomplished in a believer by the power of God. No one could deserve such high held privileges from God, were it not for Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. The grace of God, affords undeserving humans of these benefits, if they have faith.
Grace is a gift of God, and no one is to take boast in themselves for its benefits, as held in Ephesians 2:8-10:
Ephesians 2:8 ESV
[8]For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
[9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
[10]For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Being a freely given gift of God, believers ought to acknowledge God, rather than boast. This is what Micah’s song seeks to accomplish in its firm affirmation, “God Did It!”
Continually, God is involved in our lives in ways we cannot fathom. To know that He is at work should encourage believers to keep believing.

God did it by Micah Tyler: song lyrics
You know I really tried so hard
But I couldn't make the waters part
Didn't matter how many times that I had said it
You know I couldn't save myself
It had to be someone else
And there's only one who's getting all of the credit
God did it
Who put the breath in my lungs
Who calls us daughters and sons
All praise goes to just one
God did it, God did it
Who raised me up from that grave
Who's always making a way
Let me hear the whole church say
God did it, God did it
You can blame it on amazing grace
I could count about a million ways
That I'm not who I was and I don't regret it
And now you know I'm walking free
Since heaven got a hold of me
It's the moment my life changed
How could I forget it
God did it
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
For all He has done
New mercy each morning
Rewriting my story
To God be the glory
For all He has done
