lyrics

HIGHER/WISER
Can the power of a nation sway the strength of his hand?
Can the changing of the times undo the maker’s sovereign plan?
Can the wisdom of the earth out-think the mind of God?
Like trying to outshine the sun
Like trying to outshine the sun

Could our searching of the stars discover one He hasn't named?
Could the knowledge in our books uncover truth he hasn't claimed?
Could a man make God a student - teach Him truth
He doesn't know?
Like teaching the wind how to blow
Like teaching the wind how to blow

Who can know the mind of God?
All His ways are higher
Who can teach the eternal one?
All his thoughts are wiser
All His ways are higher higher higher
All His thoughts are wiser wiser wiser

Could we show a greater mercy than the God who
gave his son?
Or demonstrate more kindness than the one whose
name is love?
And could we have more compassion than our Lord
showed on the tree?
Like carrying water to the sea
Like carrying water to the sea
