Can the power of a nation sway the strength of His hand? Can the changing of the times undo the Maker's sovreign plan? Can the wisdom of the earth out-think the mind of God? Like tryin' to out-shine the sun Like tryin' to out-shine the sun Could our searching of the stars discover one He hasn't made? Could the knowledge in our books uncover truth He hasn't played? Could a man make God a student, teach Him truth He doesn't know? Like teachin' the wind how to blow Like teachin' the wind how to blow Who can know the mind of God? All His ways are higher Who can teach the Eternal One? All His thoughts are wiser All His ways are higher, higher higher All His thoughts are wiser, wiser, wiser All His ways are higher, higher higher All His thoughts are wiser, wiser, wiser Could we show a greater mercy than the God who gave His Son? Or demonstrate more kindness than the One whose name is Love? And do we have more compassion than our Lord showed on the tree? Like carryin' water to the sea Like carryin' water to the sea Who can know the mind of God? All His ways are higher Who can teach the Eternal One? All His thoughts are wiser All His ways are higher, higher higher All His thoughts are wiser, wiser, wiser All His ways are higher, higher higher All His thoughts are wiser, wiser, wiser All His ways are higher, higher higher All His thoughts are wiser, wiser, wiser All His ways are higher, higher higher All His thoughts are wiser, wiser, wiser
