"It's God!"

-
Today in book club, Kim was expressing her frustration at a book she's editing that purports to make very specific claims about God and truth. And she topped it off with a cry of exasperation over the hubris: "It's God!"

This reminded me of the lyrics of one of my favorite songs, called "Nothing Is Beyond You." This was written by Rich Mullin before he died, and was subsequently recorded by Amy Grant. Here's the chorus:

Nothing is beyond You
You stand beyond the reach
Of our vain imaginations
Our misguided piety
The heavens stretch to hold You
And deep cries out to deep
Singing that nothing is beyond You
Nothing is beyond You

Time cannot contain You
You fill eternity
Sin can never stain You
Death has lost its sting
And I cannot explain the way You came to love me
Except to say that nothing is beyond You
Nothing is beyond You
