"Same God" is a song performed by American contemporary worship band Elevation Worship. It was released as the second single from their tenth live album, Lion (2022), on June 17, 2022. [1] The song was written by Brandon Lake, Chris Brown, Pat Barrett, and Steven Furtick. [2]
"Same God" peaked at No. 1 on the US Hot Christian Songs chart, becoming Elevation Worship's second chart-topping single. At the 2023 GMA Dove Awards, "Same God" was nominated for the Song of the Year award. [3]
On January 21, 2022, Elevation Worship released "Same God" featuring Jonsal Barrientes as the first promotional single in the lead-up to the release of its parent album, Lion (2022), [4] accompanied with its music video. [5] The radio version of "Same God" was released on June 17, 2022, making it the second single from the album. [6]
Chris Brown of Elevation Worship spoke about song, saying: "I hope the song portrays His character and nature in a way that takes people on a journey and reminds people that we're a part of a great cloud of witnesses that have seen this same faithful God make good on His promises to the generations before us, and those to come after." [7]
"Same God" is a pop-centric piano ballad,
[8] which is composed in the key of
D♭ with a tempo of 72.5 beats per minute, and a musical time signature of 4
4.
[9] The lyrics of the song describe "the consistent and unchanging nature of God's wisdom, power, goodness and generosity toward His children."
[10]
Timothy Yap, reviewing for JubileeCast, opined in his review that the song "has the word "classic worship song" written all over it." [11] Jonathan Andre in his 365 Days of Inspiring Media review opined that "this 8 minute track (it's way too long!) sounds like we're treating God like a genie in a bottle ready to fulfil everything we want rather than what He wants. I'll admit though, this song does have passion and a firm belief that God will do miracles for us when we ask." [8]
