Above and Beyond

 

Above the storms of passion, Beyond life's horizon line,

Above the din of despair, Beyond the walls of time,

Above the darkest clouds of doubt, Beyond bars of the prison cell

Above the highest heaven, Beyond the confines of hell-

There is a hiding place where my heart is filled by grace.

I turn my trust to you and my strength you shall renew.

There is a vast stronghold where weak men are made bold

Where we know and we are known in the presence of God's throne.

 

I am taken there with every fleeting prayer

In His glory I shall dwell - there I know that all is well.

Above men's highest notions, beyond where man can go

Above the troubled waters, beyond what angels know

Above the loftiest intention, beyond the farthest goal

Above the flight of eagles, Beyond the limits of my soul

There is a hiding place where my heart is filled by grace.

I turn my trust to you and my strength you shall renew.

There is a vast stronghold where weak men are made bold

Where we know and we are known in the presence of God's throne.

 

I am taken there with every fleeting prayer

In His glory I shall dwell - there I know that all is well.
