Over my head…

‘The wonder of all You’ve made
Foundations Your hands have laid
Bringing me back to my knees, to my knees
I’m lost for the words to say
Lost for another way
Ruined for anything other than Your love
I’m desperate to know You, Lord
Desperate for what’s in store
Finding my hope in only You, in only You
Take me beyond this door
Lead me to something more
Open my heart up for more of You, more of You’
We, as humans, have been given the capacity to question not only the ways in which God chooses to work, but his very existence. God works in mysterious and sometimes seemingly contradictive ways. As a Christian it’s a difficult yet beautiful thing to grasp. I love the tension this song represents, the immensity of God, we his fragile and finite children, the story we find ourselves swept up in… our struggle between doubt and faith, and the resolve to worship despite it all. The depth of who God is, is simply overwhelming, incomprehensible, massive, and so far beyond us that even the small piece we see of God has us guessing. I love that about God and about my place in it all. I love the freedom that comes from throwing myself on that kind of immensity. To throw back my head and stretch out my arms and say “It’s over my head!” hallelujah! - Tim Neufeld, Starfield
