Jonny Diaz's song "How Can It Be" marvels at the paradox of an infinite God who still intimately knows and cares for each individual. The lyrics express awe that the Creator of the universe, who holds the stars and calms the seas, also hears personal prayers and tends to the heart's storms. Diaz acknowledges God's greatness in healings and heart changes, yet finds comfort in His smallness that allows Him to care about personal feelings. The song captures a humble wonder and gratitude for God's personal attention, making it a reflective piece on God's majesty and nearness.

You say you know the hairs upon my head
But I think that you'd be more concerned with things like raising up the dead
You say you hear my gentle whisperings
but I think that you'd be more consumed by so much more important things
Oh God of wonders
Sometimes I have to wonder
How can it be the God of the universe
Who gave us life and shows his mercy over all the earth
Sees me on my knees and hears my every word
Cause it's hard to believe that out of billions you could still know me
How can it be
Sometimes I need to know you hold the stars
But right now I need for you to be so small that you can hold my heart
And sometimes I need your voice to calm the seas
But right now I need for you to calm the raging storm inside of me
Oh God of wonders
Sometimes I have to wonder
How can it be the God of the universe
Who gave us life and shows his mercy over all the earth
Sees me on my knees and hears my every word
Cause it's hard to believe that out of billions you could still know me
How can it be
You're big enough that I've seen healings
You're big enough to change a heart
You're big enough to give me feelings
And still you're small enough to care what they are
How can it be the God of the universe
Who gave us life and shows his mercy over all the earth
Sees me on my knees and hears my every word
Cause it's hard to believe that out of billions you could still know me
How can it be
