You Are
by Aaron Niequist

Album: With Broken Fists

Ground of all that's good and
beautiful and right
more than Heaven can contain
You give order to the stars and to my life
more than Earth can ever tame

for we have heard Your song
we sing it all day long
joining Your Eternal Melody

we love the way You are,
the way You love and lead,
the way You recreate,
emancipate,
the way You love and love and love

and we cry 'Holy! Holy!'
You are so powerfully beyond me.
we cry 'Holy! Holy!'
You are so beautifully unlike me.

God, You fight for all the broken and oppressed
You are found among the poor.
God, You hear me even
when my heart's a mess
and our cries You can't ignore.

repeat chorus

women:
all Heaven and Earth cannot contain
Heaven and Earth cannot contain
Your ways
Your ways

men:
better than religion makes You seem
You are even better than we've
ever dared to dream
ever dared to dream

for we have heard Your song
and Heaven sings along
a chorus of Redemption's history

repeat chorus
