about

Higher View is a worship song I wrote for my church's 2020 fall series, "That's A Great Question"*, exploring tough questions, including "Why does God allow so much suffering?".
In the midst of this pandemic, we bring our questions and confusion to God, and we find that He is worthy to be trusted with all the things we don’t understand.

Free resources (chord chart, lead sheet, lyric slides) are available at www.rachelleluk.com. Feel free to use this song at your church! I'd love to hear from you if you do.

Bible verses referenced: Isaiah 55:8-10, Romans 11:33-34, 1 Corinthians 13:12

* sermons and study guides available at the "Resources" page on www.mcbc.org

lyrics

Lord of heaven I come to You
With my questions and confusion
I can’t help myself but ask You for the reasons why
In Your wisdom You have chosen
Not to mend now all that’s broken
I believe but can You help my unbelief

Give me a deeper understanding
Give me the mind of Christ
Give me the grace of Your Spirit in every part of my life
Keep me in wonder of Your mystery
Strengthen my love for Your truth
Give me a higher view of You
Give me a higher view of You

May I hunger for Your presence
Even more than for the answers
I surrender my desire to explain it all
For Your thoughts are so much wiser
And Your ways are so much higher
I can trust You with the things You’ve left unknown

Give me a deeper understanding
Give me the mind of Christ
Give me the grace of Your Spirit in every part of my life
Keep me in wonder of Your mystery
Strengthen my love for Your truth
Give me a higher view of You
Give me a higher view of You
Give me a higher view of You
Give me a higher view of You

Holy holy holy
Glorious above
Perfect in Your power
Perfect in Your love
Immortal and invisible
Infinitely wise
Ruler of eternity
Hidden from our eyes

But we know a day is coming
When all will be revealed
Every question answered
Every sorrow healed
Now we’ve only seen in part
What we then shall see in full
But until that day
When all will be made whole

Give me a deeper understanding
Give me the mind of Christ
Give me the grace of Your Spirit in every part of my life
Keep me in wonder of Your mystery
Strengthen my love for Your truth
Give me a higher view of You
Give me a higher view of You
Give me a higher view of You
Give me a higher view of You
