Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

You are the Sum of every covenant and promise  

Telling of the peace between God?and?man 

Within You every?single thing is held together  

So why?am I still trying to save myself again 


You are the substance of my faith and my redemption  

Woah, an ever present help in time of need  

In the midst of condemnation I'm astounded 

To hear the Cross has spoken freedom over me 


Hallelujah, Son of Man 

You are higher than all 

You are higher than all 

Hallelujah, Son of Man 

You are higher than all 

You are higher than all 


You are the Author of the story of salvation 

Every page is written in the deepest red 

With each pen stroke there's a master work of mercy 

Breathing life into the heart of every man 

 

Hallelujah, Son of Man 

You are higher than all 

You are higher than all 

Hallelujah, Son of Man 

You are higher than all 

You are higher than all 


You are the Sum of every covenant and promise  

Telling of the peace between God and man 

Within You every single thing is held together  

So why am I still trying to save myself again
