Isaiah 46

Which worship songs are based on Isaiah 46?

  1. I Will Carry You - Radio Version — Ellie Holcomb (2022) Isaiah 46:4

    The repeated pledge to carry someone whose strength has failed closely reflects God's promise in Isaiah to sustain and bear his people throughout their lives.

  2. Knowing — John Van Deusen (2025) Isaiah 46:4

    The assertion that God sustains breath and has a providential plan from conception to death aligns with the theme of God's ongoing support and care throughout life as expressed in Isaiah.

  3. Dios Creo — Alex Campos (2009) Isaiah 46:4

    The assurance that God will remain with the singer into old age closely echoes God's promise of continued care into old age and gray hairs. The surrounding emphasis on God as the singer's maker also aligns with this verse's connection between creation and lifelong care.

  4. Made for You — Building 429 (2011) Isaiah 46:9

    The bridge closely adapts God’s declaration of his unique divinity into a direct address to him. The accompanying refusal to worship rivals reinforces the passage’s contrast between God and idols.

  5. Who Is Like You? — Jon Thurlow (2013) Isaiah 46:9

    The first bridge changes Isaiah's first-person declaration of God's exclusive deity into direct worship. The passage also emphasizes God's incomparability, matching the chorus.

  6. He Sees What We Don't — 11th Hour (2012) Isaiah 46:10

    The bridge closely adapts Isaiah’s description of God declaring future outcomes from the outset. This specific wording grounds the song’s contrast between limited human perspective and divine knowledge.

  7. I Am — Crystal Lewis (2011) Isaiah 46:10-11

    The divine assurance of accomplishing every intended purpose closely parallels God's declaration that his counsel will stand and that he will carry out what he has planned.

  8. God's Not — Danny Gokey (2024) Isaiah 46:10

    The song specifically invokes God's knowledge of the conclusion from the outset, closely paraphrasing Isaiah's declaration of divine foreknowledge and sovereignty.

Isaiah 46 (King James Version)

1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.

2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:

4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.

7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.

9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.

12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:

13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
