You Are

aaron niequist

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 sing “Holy!  Holy!”

You are so

powerfully beyond me.

we sing “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.

all Heaven and Earth

cannot contain

Heaven and Earth

cannot contain

Your ways

Your ways

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
