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

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

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

Author: Pastor Clegguart Mitchell

I’m Clegguart Charles Mitchell III. It’s pronounced Clay-Gert and I’m named after my grandfather and great-grandfather. I’m a husband to Jenny, dad of eight, and pastor of South County Bible Church in St. Louis. I grew up in Iowa and have spent most of my adult life in pastoral ministry. I write because writing helps me think - mostly about Scripture, ministry, people, and the intersection of biblical truth with ordinary life. My approach to ministry is pretty simple: Preach the Word. Love the People. Trust the Lord. I’m still learning what all three require.
