After the words have all been said
After the songs are sung
I realize I've only but just begun
Trying to wrap my mind around
Extravagant love come down
Leaves me undone
Finds me with nothing to say
The reach of Your fame
The power in Your name
Your glory surrounds me
It's over my head
It's over my head
The shame of the cross
For all that it cost
This friendship astounds me
It's over my head
It's over my head
Unquenchable songs and endless praise
A million tongues poised to sing
Could still not convey
The worth that Your name deserves
Beauty for ashes
Joy for pain
Mercy instead of my blame
Ruins me for more
I'm lost in Your presence, Lord
Hallelujah…
Lost for the words to say
I'm left here in disarray
Waiting for You, waiting on truth
I've thrown reason overboard
Knowing that there's still more
I don't yet believe, I can't even perceive
I can't seem to understand
Can't seem to find my way
It's over my head, it’s over my head
Learning this mystery
Trust what I cannot see
It's over my head, it's over my head
The wonder of all You've made
Foundations Your hands have laid
Bringing me back to my knees, to my knees
I'm lost for the words to say
Lost for another way
Bringing me back to my knees, to my knees
I'm lost for the words to say
Lost for another way
Ruined for anything other than Your love
I'm desperate to know You, Lord
Desperate for what's in store
Finding my hope in only You, in only You
Take me beyond this door
Lead me to something more
Open my heart up for more of You, more of You

Behind the Song:"We, as humans, have been given the capacity to question not only the ways in which God chooses to work, but his very existence. God works in mysterious and sometimes seemingly contradictive ways. As a Christian it's a difficult yet beautiful thing to grasp. I love the tension this song represents, the immensity of God, we his fragile and finite children, the story we find ourselves swept up in...our struggle between doubt and faith, and the resolve to worship despite it all.
The depth of who God is, is simply overwhelming, incomprehensible, massive, and so far beyond us that even the small piece we see of God has us guessing. I love that about God and about my place in it all. I love the freedom that comes from throwing myself on that kind of immensity. To throw back my head and stretch out my arms and say "It's over my head!" hallelujah!" - Tim Neufeld (
