Higher

The old guys from back in the day could really paint a picture. Like when Habakkuk wrote:

I see God moving across the deserts...
When he stops, the earth shakes...
He shatters the everlasting mountains...


You went out to rescue your chosen people,
to save your anointed ones.


As the reel turns in the theater of my mind, and there's one crashing realization.

I want to be in that last group- chosen. And since one day the picture will be plain for every man, woman, boy, and girl, it's a better idea to throw in on this side of eternity.

HIGHER

Your Love is Higher
Your Love is Deeper
Your Love is Stronger
Your Love is Freedom

The World Cannot Explain the Power of Your Name
The World Cannot Compare to the Life You Came to Share
The World Cannot Replace the Beauty of Your Grace
The World Cannot Behold the Glory to Unfold

Yet I Can Look into Your Eyes
My Shame is Gone, I Recognize
That One Man's Greatest Sacrifice 
Has Changed My Life

Your Love is Higher
Your Love is Deeper
Your Love is Stronger
Your Love is Freedom

The World Will Question Why a Savior Had to Die
But the World Will Not Bring Loss to the Measure of the Cross
The World Will Breath its Last While All You've Said Will Come to Pass
And All the World Will Finally See Jesus Was and Is and Will Always Be

Yet Written in the Maker's Hand
Is Every Name and Every Plan
Before the World the Father Prayed
None Should Die and All Be Saved

Your Love is Higher
Your Love is Deeper
Your Love is Stronger
Your Love is Freedom
