Shane & Shane's song "Fringes" reflects on the vastness and majesty of God, drawing from Job 26 to describe how even the edges of His ways are beyond our full comprehension. The lyrics marvel at creation, grace, and the fact that everything we see and experience is merely a glimpse of His glory. The song emphasizes that all of existence hinges on God's grace and word, and it humbly acknowledges our limited understanding while celebrating His power and sovereignty. It's a worshipful meditation on God's greatness and the gift of grace that allows us to sing.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
He stretches out the north over empty space
And hangs the earth on nothing
And how faint a word we even hear of Him
And yet - our eyes and ears and minds get all the candy
I sing for grace
For grace it lets me sing
And all I've ever seen or heard
Or haven't seen or heard
It's His
There is no other
All of this is but the fringes
And these are but the fringes
And all the world hinges
On His grace and on His word
It speaks things into being
And the spoken things revealing
The glory of our God and King
I'm stumbling upon things that aren't mine
Things he spoke to life before time
Name one thing that's not
One law or thought
He taught the clay
Molded it
Behold, He called the sheep
That's why they came
Sheep! Who by grace get a peep
And make it cheap by calling it mine
"Behold, these are the fringes of His ways
And how faint a word we hear of Him!
But His mighty thunder, who can understand?"
