It Passes All My Understanding...

Man... I love Soft Sunday Sounds...
     I should just post my favorite new songs at the beginning of each week... Oh wait... I pretty much already do! :)



It Passes All My Understanding - Cherie Call

Now you scroll through the lyrics... and pictures. :)

-----

I was sitting on a southbound plane, 

I was buried in a magazine

When the man in the next seat over 

Wanted to talk to me

He talked about the universe, 

He talked about Saturn's rings

He said, "I might be an atheist, 

Except for just one thing:

It passes all my understanding 

How it all worked out just right,

The distance that we live from the sun, 

The stars that shine at night.

We may prove that it was just an accident

But how did it begin?

It passes all my understanding"

I told him, "You are a scholar; 

You know things that I don't know

But I believe a God in heaven 

Made everything below

And I know we are his children; 

I've known it since I was two

But when it comes to being struck with awe,

I'm just like you.

It passes all my understanding, 

All the beauty we have here

From the majesty of the canyons 

To a tiny baby's ear

And even when I can't believe it, 

He still believes in me

It passes all my understanding"

We watched the sun set through the clouds

In a tiny little airplane window 

With people sleeping all around

And I thought of how we just expect this world to be

And when the flight attendant passed me by

I threw away my magazine

It passes all my understanding, 

That the Lord knows both our names

And that He made this world for everyone

That was sitting on that plane

And in spite of all of man's distractions

He offers us His peace

That passes all my understanding

     You know... we often see the parts of the world that aren't as pleasant... parts that people have abused so much that it's hard to look at... We hear about how we aren't taking care of the earth (which really is true), and how it is getting harder and harder to find beautiful things... 

     Well that last statement isn't true. It's not hard to find beautiful things.

You guys... what a beautiful world we live in!

Be grateful for it!
