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 knowAnd 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 dustGod 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 GodAnd the sky begins to thunder
And I'm filled with awe and wonder
'Til the only burning question that remains
Is who am ICan 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 passOh, how great are the riches of His wisdom and knowledge
How unsearchable for to Him and through Him and from Him are all thingsSo let us worship before the throne
Of the One who is worthy of worship alone
