Lyrics
Verse 1
Idols of silver, gods of sand
Easy to hold in our finite hands
We try to fit our God in a man-shaped disguise
My friend, they do not make a box His size
Verse 2
God walked among us, a mortal man
Maker of the storms that He calmed with His hand
Awesome and holy, for sinners He cries
My friend, they do not make a box His size
Chorus
Throw out the box that you have put God in
And let your childlike faith begin again
Restrain no more the power of Mighty God
And trust in the power of Jesus’ blood
Verse 3
Free will and choices, a Sovereign God
Or is the God who claims this power just a fraud
Is He all-knowing or are we a surprise
My friend, they do not make a box His size
Bridge
Is this the god you really want,
The one that fits inside your pocket
God subject to every whim
Of every man’s demands on Him
Or do you want the Infinite
The All-Consuming Spirit
God of Wrath who died for you
All mercy, justice, grace, and truth
Chorus
Throw out the box that you have put God in
And let your childlike faith begin again
Restrain no more the power of Mighty God
And trust in the power of Jesus’ blood
Verse 4
Justice and mercy, that great paradox
Such a God would never fit in such a man-sized box
King of the Universe, for servants He dies
My friend, they do not make a box His size
Verse 4 Tag
Acquainted with sorrows, yet infinitely wise
My friend, they’ll never make a box His size
Chorus
Throw out the box that you have put God in
And let your childlike faith begin again
Restrain no more the power of Mighty God
And trust in the power of Jesus’ blood
Tag
Restrain no more the power of Mighty God
And trust in the power of Jesus’ blood
