Nothing Is Beyond You
by Rich Mullins
1. Where could I go, where could I run,
Even if I found the strength to fly?
And if I rose on the wings of the dawn,
And crashed through the corner of the sky,
If I sailed past the edge of the sea,
Even if I made my bed in hell,
Still there You would find me.
2. If I should shrink back from the light
So I can sink into the dark,
If I take cover and I close my eyes,
Even then You would see my heart.
And You'd cut through all my pain and rage;
The darkness is not dark to You--
And night's as bright as day.
CHORUS:
Nothing is beyond You;
You stand beyond the reach
Of our vain imaginations,
Our misguided piety.
The heavens stretch to hold You,
And deep cries out to deep
Singing that nothing is beyond You;
Nothing is beyond You.
Time cannot contain You;
You fill eternity.
Sin can never stain You,
And death has lost its sting,
And I cannot explain the way You came to love me
Except to say that nothing is beyond You,
Nothing is beyond You,
Nothing is beyond You.
Rich Mullins is my inspiration, and by reading some of his writings, he got me to question what my church has always taught me. God used that quest to lead me to His truth.

(Michael Card & John Thompson)
[Chorus:]
El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai [means "God Almighty, God Almighty"]
El-Elyon na Adonai [means "God in the highest, Oh, Lord"]
Age to age, You're still the same
By the power of the name.
El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai
Erkamka na Adonai [means "We will love You, Oh, Lord"]
We will praise and lift You high
El-Shaddai
Through Your love
And through the ram,
You saved the son
Of Abraham.
Through the power
Of Your hand,
Turned the sea
Into dry land.
To the outcast
On her knees,
You were the God
Who really sees.
And by Your might,
You set Your children free.
[Chorus]
Through the years,
You made it clear,
That the time of Christ
Was near,
Though the people
Couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be.
Though Your Word
Contained the plan,
They just could not understand,
Your most awesome work was done
Though the frailty of Your son.
[Chorus]

This is something that I have checked into and here is some info on it if interested!
Actually, in 1994, in a case involving 2 Live Crew's parody of "Oh Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that parodies can be a "fair use" of an original song, requiring no permission or royalties. One of the main points the Supreme Court made was that when a parodist significantly changes the words and meaning of an original song to spoof it, the parody becomes a new work -- even if it uses the music of the original. And that to do a parody of a song, you need to use at least some of the music of the original to "conjure up" the original. You can't have a parody without having elements of the original in that parody.
Now, that doesn't mean a person can come along and just change a word or two and call it a parody or a new song. Furthermore, a person can't just steal the melody of a song and use totally different words that don't spoof the original in some way; the Supreme Court laid down some specific guidelines. Here's the link for the website that shows the entire transcript from Supreme Court ruling so you can read it yourself:

I love the angelic harmonies in this song
Shout To The Lord – Darlene Zschech
My Jesus, My Savior
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My Comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you
(Chorus)
Shout to the Lord, all the earth
Let us sing. Power and majesty, praise to the King.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name
I sing for joy at the work of your hands
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You
My Jesus, My Savior
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My Comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you
(chorus X2)
Nothing compares to the promise I have in
Nothing compares to the promise I have in
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You
