Heaven and Earth
Nichole Nordeman's 'Heaven And Earth' is a worship song reflecting on the majesty of God as Creator and Ruler of all, while marveling at His willingness to dwell within imperfect human hearts. The lyrics contrast God's holiness with human frailty, emphasizing the mystery of divine love and the gift of grace. The song references Christ's incarnation, suffering, and the cleansing power of the cross, inviting listeners to deeper trust and surrender. It carries a tone of humble awe and gratitude, centering on the paradox of a holy God making His home in believers.
You are the One
Ruler of heaven and earth
Given a name
High above all other names
And all things made
Were made by You
And I am so amazed
I belong to You
How could One, could one so holy
Be prepared to live inside
Of a heart like mine
I'll never know why
But as I, as I go deeper
I know I can be certain
That love is a gift
Wrapped up in the mystery of You
You came down
Lived as the least of all men
You suffered and died
Bearing unbearable shame
Now here in the shadow of Your cross
You wash me clean
Of all I'm guilty of
How could One, could one so holy
Be prepared to live inside
Of a heart like mine
I'll never know why
But as I, as I go deeper
I know I can be certain
That love is a gift
Wrapped up in the mystery of You
How can On, One so holy
Be prepared to live inside
Of a heart like mine
I'll never know why
But should I
Leave You out day by day
Lord, remind me
That love is a gift
Wrapped up in the mystery of You
