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.

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

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

What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 100 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
