I love wordsmiths and Rich Mullins is one of my favorites. He has a way of saying things in his songs that my heart wants to say, but I cannot put the feelings into words. He created a song titled Nothing is Beyond You that speaks of the awesomeness of our Lord in such a way I just want to share it with others. Here is part of the lyrics.
Where could I go, where could I run
Even if I found the strength to fly
And if I rose on the wings of the dawn
And crashed through the corner of the sky
If I sailed past the edge of the sea
Even if I made my bed in Hell
Still there You would find me
‘Cause nothing is beyond You
You stand beyond the reach
Of our vain imaginations
Our misguided piety
The Heavens stretch to hold you
And deep cries out to deep
Singing that nothing is beyond You
Nothing is beyond You
Time cannot contain You
You fill eternity
Sin can never stain You
Death has lost its sting
And I cannot explain the way You came to love me
Except to say that nothing is beyond You
Nothing is beyond You
“You stand beyond the reach of our vain imaginations, our misguided piety”. We think we know so much, but in reality we know so little. When I hear these words, I am overwhelmed with His Majesty and Sovereignty.
“I cannot explain the way You came to love me, except to say that nothing is beyond You” leaves me with nothing else to say.
Rich Mullins died in a plane crash shortly after he wrote this song. If you want to listen to it, you can find it on You Tube sung by Amy Grant. I pray it touches you as deeply as it touches me.
