God Is God by Steven Curtis Chapman
God Is God
C#/F E* B/D#
EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
143121 x799xx x687xx
C#
Bbm
And the pain falls like a curtain
F#
On the things I once called certain
Bbm G#
And I have to say the words I fear the most
F#
I just don’t know
Bbm
And the questions without answers
F#
Come and paralyze the dancer
Bbm G#
So I stand here on the stage afraid to move
F# C#/F
Afraid to fall, oh, but fall I must
E A
On this truth that my life has been formed from the dust
Chorus:
C# Bbm
God is God and I am not
G# F# E* B/D#
I can only see a part of the picture He’s painting
C# Bbm
God is God and I am man
G# F#
So I’ll never understand it all
E* B/D# C#
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
A B
Oh, how great are the riches of His wisdom and knowledge
C#m A F#m D5
How unsearchable for to Him and through Him and from Him are
B5
all things
C#m F
So let us worship before the throne
E A
Of the One who is worthy of worship alone
Chorus
