Beautiful boundaries

Beautiful boundaries 

by Joel Howard

Come let us build a tower to the skies

that there be no man greater than I

gather your strength, together we strive

These are the things I say down inside

The Lord comes and visits my life

confuses the strongholds I've built, so I cry

Spreads out the idols, tears down my height

burns them all so I am safe, lest I die

Left to myself I grow my own pride

left to myself I climb and I climb

Beautiful boundaries the Lord grants, draws nigh

A beautiful "no" he permits in my life

I had burned my bricks thoroughly

and had built my tower high

But the Lord has his way in me lest I would die

Yes the Lord has his way in me lest I would die

At the start now I forfeit building a city for my own

I reject self improvement, I get off the throne

I consider your boundaries I thank you now, King of kings

I seek you in you mystery, Lord of my life

I seek you in your mystery, King of my life
