[Verse 1] I saw a glimpse of burning eyes, And all my breath forgot to move. Just one small flame of who You are, And all my pride fell from the room. I thought I knew the Lion’s name, I thought I understood the Lamb. But then I saw the fire contained Inside the kindness of Your hands. [Pre-Chorus] The stars obey You when You speak, The mountains melt beneath Your tread. And still You bend to touch the weak, And say, Fear not, lift up your head. [Chorus] How foolish we are to challenge the King, When all of creation is held by Your will. You could unmake the heavens with one holy thought, But mercy holds back what justice could spill. Power held back, Fire under command. The universe lives In the palm of Your hand. [Verse 2] Your feet like bronze inside the flame, Your voice like waters in the deep. Your face too bright for flesh to bear, Your eyes too true for lies to keep. And I have argued with Your throne, I have demanded, doubted, run. Still You did not reduce me to dust, You called me back through Christ the Son. [Pre-Chorus 2] John fell down as good as dead, Moses trembled near Your glory. Isaiah cried, I am undone, Yet mercy still rewrote the story. [Chorus] How foolish we are to challenge the King, When all of creation is held by Your will. You could unmake the heavens with one holy thought, But mercy holds back what justice could spill. Power held back, Fire under command. The universe lives In the palm of Your hand. [Bridge] You are not weak because You wait, You are not small because You spare. The nails did not overpower You, Love held You bleeding there. The Word who spoke the worlds awake Let sinners mock His holy name. The Judge of all creation died, And rose with death beneath His feet. [Bridge 2] So let my mouth fall silent now, Let every challenge turn to praise. If You should show one fuller ray, No mortal strength could stand and gaze. But You veil the fire so I can come, You lower the thunder so I can hear. You hold back glory for my sake, Then draw me trembling near. [Final Chorus] How foolish we are to challenge the King, When all of creation is held by Your will. You could unmake the heavens with one holy thought, But mercy holds back what justice could spill. Power held back, Fire under command. The universe bows In the palm of Your hand. [Outro] Eyes like fire, Hands still scarred. Lord, I am trembling, But You are God. You could have made me dust, But You forgave instead. Power held back, Mercy over my head. ```
