Description
For as long as humans have existed, people have worshiped various things - the sun, the moon, the harvest, Kelly Clarkson. We have all worship something, but there is only one God truly worth worshiping, and he is far beyond our ability to perceive or comprehend.
Lyrics
You may think you see my face, gazing up to outer space And though that deep and endless place may sing my praise, it’s not my face Don’t mistake me for the wind, or the sunshine on your skin Or the blue majestic skies, that’s not my breath, that’s not my eyes I am no ordinary god, you cannot fit me in your box No, I’m beyond the searching out of your most imaginary thoughts. People worship flesh and bone, people worship fame and throne People worship what they know, but who is worthy? None –none but I alone They didn’t cry the tears I cried, they didn’t die the death I died None of your other gods provide all that’s required for eternal life I am no ordinary god, you cannot fit me in your box No, I’m beyond the searching out of your most imaginary thoughts. I taught the eagle how to soar, I framed the mountain tops and the ocean floor But I’m not embodied in the things you see – I’m extraordinary Can they capture what’s divine and clothe it in a mortal man? Can they cross the great divide to rescue sinners like I can? For a world of broken people, would they crucify their son? Cause to bring you back to me, that’s what I’ve done I am no ordinary god. Whether you know me now or not My very breath, my dreams, my fingerprints Are woven up and intertwined into the fabric of your heart My needle knit you in the womb, my hand can raise you from the tomb The love your heart is searching for is so much more, more than ordinary
