Speak to me
When the silence steals my voice
You understand me
You understand me
Come to me
In the valley of unknowns
You understand me
You understand me
You understand me, God
You understand me
So I throw all my cares before You
My doubts and fears don't scare You
You're bigger than I thought You were
You're bigger than I thought
I stop all negotiations
With the God of all creation
You're bigger than I thought You were
You're bigger than I thought You were
So much bigger than I thought
You're bigger than I thought You were
I believe
But help my unbelief
You understand me
You understand me
Help me reach
The faith that's underneath
You understand me
You understand me
Yes, You understand me, God
Oh, You understand me, God
I throw all my cares before You
My doubts and fears don't scare You
You're bigger than I thought You were
You're bigger than I thought
I stop all negotiations
With the God of all creation
You're bigger than I thought You were
You're bigger than I thought You were, oh...
I will rest in the Father's hands
Leave the rest in the Father's hands
I will rest in the Father's hands
Leave the rest in the Father's hands, yeah
I will rest in the Father's hands
Leave the rest in the Father's hands
I will rest in the Father's hands
Leave the rest in the Father's hands
So I throw all my cares before You
My doubts and fears don't scare You
Cause You're bigger than I thought You were
You're bigger than I thought
I stop all negotiations
With the God of all creation
Cause You're bigger than I thought You were
You're bigger than I thought You were
You're bigger than I thought You were...
You're so much bigger, so much better, so much greater...
