God is God and I am not

Yesterday after reading Seth's post I was reflecting on the place where God has us right now and remembering again that our only safety and hope is in the fact that we can trust our loving God who promises to "work all things together for our good." Then, as I was driving to my doctor's appointment this song by Steven Curtis Chapman came on the radio:

God is God

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 know

And 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 dust

God 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 God

And the sky begins to thunder
And I’m filled with awe and wonder
‘Til the only burning question that remains
Is "who am I?"

Can 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 pass

Oh, how great are the riches of His wisdom and knowledge
How unsearchable; for to Him and through
Him and from Him are all things

So let us worship before the throne
Of the One who is worthy of worship alone

Love this song. Thanks for the encouragement. It is a blessing to see you both sharing your journey and what you are learning about God through it. Definitely encourages those around you.

I really like the words to this song. Don't think I've heard it.
