God is God

And the pain falls like a curtain
On the things I once called certain
And I have to say the words I fear the most
I just don't know

And the questions without answers
Come and paralyze the dancer
So I stand here on the stage afraid to move
Afraid to fall, oh, but fall I must
On this truth that my life has been formed from the dust

God is God and I am not
I can only see a part of the picture He's painting
God is God and I am man
So I'll never understand it all
For only God is God

And the sky begins to thunder
And I'm filled with awe and wonder
'Til the only burning question that remains
Is who am I?

Can I form a single mountain
Take the stars in hand and count them
Can I even take a breath without God giving it to me?
He is first and last before all that has been
Beyond all that will pass

God is God and I am not
I can only see a part of the picture He's painting
God is God and I am man
So I'll never understand it all
For only God is God

Oh, how great are the riches of His wisdom and knowledge
How unsearchable for to Him and through Him and from Him are all things

So let us worship before the throne
Of the one who is worthy of worship alone

God is God and I am not
I can only see a part of the picture He's painting
God is God and I am man
So I'll never understand it all
For only God is God

Only God is God
Only God is God

Great is the Lord
Great is the Lord.

Sometimes my words cannot express my thoughts. Steven Curtis Chapman is one of the greatest musicians and lyricists within Christian music because of his poetic nature... the words with wisdom far beyond my own. They are so true. I am shaking. I am trembling. How unsearchable for to Him and through Him and from Him are all things.

I am searching. I am wondering. Where are the answers? How can I hear God? How can I see this glimpse of such a masterful painting I seek so whole-heartedly? ...to Him and through Him and from Him are all things. Only God is God. Let me seek, find, and know. That is my prayer. That is my goal, my focus, and my heart.

For I do not know, and only through His wisdom and knowledge will I find.

With fear and endless searching,
chris
