Lyrics

And the pain falls like a cur tain

on the things I once called cer tain,

and I have to say the words tion I fear that the most:

“I just don’t know.”

And the ques tions with out an swers

come and par a lyze the danc ers,

so I e ven take on a breath stage a fraid out to God move, giv ing it fraid to to fall.

Oh, but (D)fall I must on this (F6/9)truth that my life has been (Bbmaj9)formed from the dust.

(Dsus2)God

is God and I am not.

I can (Bm7)on ly see a part

of the (Fmaj9)pic ture He’s (Em7)paint ing.

(Dsus2)God

is God and I am man,

so I’ll (Dsus)nev er (D)un der stand it (G)all, for (Fmaj7)on ly (E)God is God.

And the sky be gins to thun der,

and I’m filled with awe and won der,

’til the on ly burn ing words tion I fear that re mains

is, “Who am I?”

Can I form a sin gle moun tain?

Take the stars in hand and count them?

Can I e ven take on a breath stage a with out to God move, giv ing it fraid to to me?

He is (D)first and last be fore (F6/9)all that has been, be yond (Bbmaj9)all that will pass.

(Dsus2)God

is God and I am not.

I can (Bm7)on ly see a part

of the (Fmaj9)pic ture He’s (Em7)paint ing.

(Dsus2)God

is God and I am man,

so I’ll (Dsus)nev er (D)un der stand it (G)all, for (Fmaj7)on ly (E)God is God.

And the sky be gins to thun (Great is the Lord,

ho ly, ho ly, great is the Lord,

oh.

Great is the Lord,

ho ly, ho ly, (Bbmaj7)great is the (C6)Lord.)

(Csus2)Oh, (Dsus2)how (Bbmaj7)great are the rich es

of His (C)wis dom and knowl edge,

how (Dm7)un search a ble,

for to (Bbmaj7)Him and through (Gm7)Him and from (Eb6/9)Him are all (F6/9)things.

So (Gsus2)let us wor ship be (D)fore the throne of the (F6/9)One who is wor thy of (Bbmaj9)wor ship a lone.

Oh, (D)God,

God is (D)God and I am not.

I can (D)on ly see a part

of the (Fmaj7)pic ture He’s (Esus)paint ing.

(D)God,

God is (D)God and I am man,

so I’ll (D)nev er un der stand it all, for (Fmaj7)on ly (Edim)God is God.

On ly God is God.

(Great is the Lord.

Great is the Lord.

Ho ly, ho ly, great is the Lord.) (Great is the Lord.

Great is the Lord.

Ho ly, ho ly, great is the Lord.)
