God Beyond, Between, Within (Vol 2 No 19)
There are no words by which we catch the myst’ry;
Yet still we sing, we praise and we adore;
There are no words in which we hold the history
Of all creation. We just stand in awe.
God is beyond our wildest fantasies;
God is beyond, yet we respond.
God is beyond exotic ecstasies;
God is beyond, yet we respond.
When love is shared and people show compassion,
As Jesus did, once there in Galilee,
When love is shared and given without ration
We show how fully human we can be.
God is between, involved in all events;
God is between, although unseen.
God is between involved in every sense;
God is between, although unseen.
Within our souls, the stirrings of our spirit
Prompt us to try to make all conflict cease;
Within our souls we’re conscious of the merit
Of gentleness, of love, of grace and peace.
God is within to share our human need;
God is within; rejoice therein.
God is within; our life is blest indeed;
God is within; rejoice therein.
God is beyond, between, within - not absent;
Not far away, not on some lofty throne;
God is beyond, between, within so constant;
No gulf to bridge to some angelic zone.
This is Good News; we know that we belong;
For God is love; for God is love.
This is Good News, the everlasting song;
For God is love. Yes! God is love.
Tune How great Thou art Not in AHB TIS 155
