"God With Us" is a song written and performed by Christian rock band MercyMe. The song is lyrically a worship song, inspired by a question used by lead singer Bart Millard's pastor.

Released as the lead single from MercyMe's 2007 album All That Is Within Me, "God With Us" peaked at No. 1 on both the Hot Christian Songs and Hot Christian AC charts, and was ranked at No. 3 and No. 4 on the 2008 year-end charts, respectively. The song also ranked at No. 12 on the decade-end Hot Christian AC chart, and No. 19 on the decade-end Hot Christian Songs chart.

"God with Us" was the first song written for MercyMe's album All That Is Within Me, as well as the song the band based the rest of the album around. The song's lyrics were inspired by the question "Why does God look our way?", which the band's lead singer Bart Millard's pastor used to ask to his congregation. Millard could not get this idea out of his head, and wanted to create a song around this idea. "God with Us" was designed for the church, as well as to be used in worship.

"God with Us" was written and composed by MercyMe. It was produced by Brown Bannister, and the strings on the song were recorded by the London Session Orchestra.

"God With Us" is a worship song with a length of five minutes and fifty-two seconds. It is set in common time and in the key of A major, with a moderate tempo of 92 beats per minute, and a vocal range spanning from A₃–E₅.

Critical reception to "God With Us" was generally positive. Mike Parker of Today's Christian Music commented that "“God With Us,” a superlative, six-minute marathon, may be the best cut on the album", also opining that "With plenty of time to sink its teeth into the song, the band delivers more emotion than on any tune since “I Can Only Imagine". Kevin McNeese of New Release Tuesday called the song a "worship-filled moment", while Jay Heilman of Christian Music Review opined that the song is "a reminder of how compassionate and loving the Lord is of us".
