Words and music: Keith Lancaster © 1995 Anthony K. Music (ASCAP)
Arrangement: Don Marsh © 1995 Anthony K. Music (ASCAP)
This song also appeared on The Collection by Acappella and Hear It In Our Voice: Volume III by The Acappella Company.
Producer's Note from The Collection: "This song may be the greatest understatement of all. John 1 says 'Through Him all things were made: Without Him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men.' God is. Period. The only thing more astounding than the vastness of God's awesome power is His love for us! I love diversity in an album and believe it is a strong point of our releases. With that in mind, I asked Don Marsh to arrange this song. The music flows beautifully and Steve Reischl shines brightly throughout."

Lyrics:

If there were no God there would be no music
There would be no dream to be dreaming of
What a dreadful thought of an empty future
If there were no God there would be no love

If there were no God there would be no children
There would be no joy to relieve our tears
Not a tender hand to provide us comfort
No consoling heart to subdue our fears

Chorus:
But we know that God is with us
And we know His majesty
Reigning now, the King eternal
Yes we know the victory

If there were no God there would be no sunshine
There would be no rain to refresh the earth
There would be no jewels to display their value
There would be no thought of enduring words

If there were no God there'd be no creation
There would be no light there would be no breath
No surpassing joy nothing in existence
If there were no God all would be death

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Yes we know, yes we know the victory
Yes we know the victory

Scriptural Reference:

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Timothy 1:15-17
