Michael W. Smith Greater Than We Understand Lyrics

Greater Than We Understand Lyrics

Summer rains keep coming down

It's about to swallow up this town

You get the feeling that there's trouble ahead

Folks say they've never seen

The river acting quite this mean

No one can stop it when it needs to be fed



Look at the river

The powerful river

Greater Than We Understand

Awesome in anger

Crazy with hunger

Dragging us under



[Chorus]

But you have the power

The power to heal us

Greater than we understand

Righteous in anger

Awesome with wonder

If we reach out for your hand

Yeah



To many years since the lava flow

This old mountain's about to blow

Covering anything that gets in its way

Not a lot that you can say or do

When the mountain wants to roll over you

But gather up the ones you love and start to pray



Look at the mountain

The powerful mountain

Greater than we understand

Awesome in anger

Crazy with hunger

Dragging us under



[Chorus]



Yeah x3



But you have the power

The power to heal us

Greater than we understand

Righteous in anger

Awesome with wonder

Greater than we understand

Yeah



As far as you or I can see

Hard times there will always be

Thank God for answers to the trouble ahead
