Big Enough

We question how big God is. Why does He allow evil? This song looks at that question. Verse 1 [verse] Who locked the sea behind its gates And told the morning where to stand Who holds the measure and the weights And traced the earth with His own hand Job 38:4–12; Proverbs 8:29; Isaiah 40:12 Verse 2 [verse] This God has never forced a will — He bears the cost of being refused He lets the ages prove Him still And leaves His children free to choose The Great Controversy, p. 493; Deuteronomy 30:19; Revelation 3:20; 2 Peter 3:9 Chorus [chorus] He's big enough to wait, He will not force the door. His waiting is His majesty, His patience is His power. He rules without compelling, He reigns without the rod — The greatness is the patience Of this all-sufficient God. 2 Peter 3:9; Psalm 62:11–12; Romans 2:4; EGW, The Great Controversy, p. 500 Bridge [bridge] You stand outside and knock, Lord, You will not force Your way. You've known the pain of hearts that turned away And still You choose to stay. The universe bends to Your command, Yet here You wait for me — That You would stand and wait, O God, Declares Your majesty. Revelation 3:20; Luke 13:34; Isaiah 65:2; Psalm 8:3–4 Tag [outro] His waiting is His witness, His waiting is His fight, And love that will not force the door Will yet vindicate the right. EGW, The Great Controversy, pp. 500–504; Romans 3:4; Revelation 15:3–4
