Lyrics
You wrote the story of my life
You go before you fall behind, yeah
Before a breath beyond my death
you are with me all the way
to everlasting
Oh I can't run, I can't hide
Even darkness is a light
From the lowest place to the highest praise
You are worthy
Amazing love how can it be
Far too wonderful for me
There's only one thing left to say
You are worthy, oh
Search me God and know my heart
Try me, know my anxious thoughts, yeah
Find the weakness in me and lead me in the way
Everlasting
Oh I can't run, I can't hide
Even darkness is a light
From the lowest place to the highest praise
You are worthy
Amazing love how can it be
Far too wonderful for me
There's only one thing left to say
You are worthy, oh
You formed me in my mothers womb
You know my frame, my flesh, and bone
Oh, how wonderfully made
Oh I can't describe it's way too hard
You see me through and through
and call me loved
What a wonderful grace, oh
Oh I can't run, I can't hide
Even darkness is a light
From the lowest place to the highest praise
You are worthy
Amazing love how can it be
Far too wonderful for me
There's only one thing left to say
You are worthy, oh

Meaning & Inspiration
Psalm 139 (Far Too Wonderful) shapes its praise around God’s complete knowledge of a human life. The opening lines describe his knowledge as stretching before birth, through every breath, and beyond death. Darkness and distance cannot hide a person from him; even the “lowest place” becomes a setting for worship.
The song also turns inward with the prayer, “Search me God and know my heart.” That request acknowledges anxiety, weakness, and the need for God’s leading. Images of being formed in the womb and “wonderfully made” closely echo Psalm 139, while the repeated declaration “You are worthy” gives the biblical meditation a concrete response: awe, surrender, and praise. The result is a worshipful portrait of divine nearness joined to honest self-examination.
