#10 God Is Bigger Than the World
VERSE
I rise up in the morning— I stare in the mirror
And some days I don’t know the person looking back at me
It could be the weather—could be I’ve just looked better
Or maybe the world crept in while I was fast asleep
‘Cause it changes me—and it changes you
So we must stay grounded in God’s truth
CHORUS
Because God is bigger than the world
Bigger than the universe and all the rocks it hurls
With His own hands he made us
By His own blood He saves us
And one day soon He’ll raise us from this Earth
Yes God is bigger than the world
VERSE
I go to work in the city—I see a homeless man sleeping
In a cardboard box while suits just pass him on the street
Another lady is screaming---while a man who’s day dreaming
Forgets to take off when the red light turns to green
When life’s unfair—and faster than we care for it to be
Just have faith and believe
CHORUS
Because God is bigger than the world
Bigger than the universe and all the rocks it hurls
He’s bigger than temptation
Sadness and frustration
And one day soon He’ll raise us from this Earth
Oh, God is bigger than the world
BRIDGE
We are always in a hurry—we agonize and worry
Not realizing we’re not in control
Because God is bigger than the world
REPRISE
He’s big enough to make us
Cares enough to save us
And one day soon He’ll raise us from this Earth
Yes God is bigger than
He’s so much bigger than
Yes God is bigger than the world
