The more I know your power, Lord

The more I'm mindful

How casually we speak and sing your name

How often we have come to you

With no fear or wonder

And called upon You only for what we stand to gain



Chorus

God forbid, that I find You so familiar

That I think of You as less than who You are

God forbid, that I should speak of You at all

Without a humble reverence in my heart

God forbid



Lord, I often talk about Your love and mercy

How it seems to me Your goodness has no end

It frightens me to think that I could take You for granted

Though You're closer than a brother

You're more than must my friend



Chorus



You are father God Almighty

Lord of Lords, You're King of Kings

Beyond my understanding

No less than everything



Chorus



God forbid

God forbid
