Lyrics
Only men
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How could a face in history
Put a flame inside of me?
A carpenter, the writer of eternity
Some prophets claimed to do the same
They offered hope another way
They died, we buried them
But did they rise again?
Ooh, from age to age You never change
Ooh, You're the Name above all names
(chorus)
A hundred thousand years ago and now
You are standing by Yourself
You're the Holy One
And all that were are dead and gone
Though many try to take Your throne away
They will do it all in vain
'Cause the world will see
That You are God, and they are only men
A Father's Son, a love divine
Would reach across the great divide
To pay the price, a broken man would set us free
No other name, no other way
Can ever claim to do the same
It all comes down to trusting
In what you cannot see
Ooh, from age to age You never change
Ooh, You're the Name above all names
(repeat chorus)
That you are God and they are only
Men designed to love, adore you
They will bow right down before You
All created for Your pleasure
They will worship
A thousand more eternities from now
You will still be by Yourself
You're the Only One
And all that were are dead and gone
Though many try to take Your throne away
They will do it all in vain
'Cause the world will see
That You are God and they are only men
That You are God and they are only, they are only men
You are God and they are only men
