Lyrics:

Out of the box, that was your way,
Lord, while walking Galilee.
You taught of God, as one who knows,
and jaws would drop at your authority.
You ordered demons and they'd go.
You'd reach a town and crowds would show.

Lord, amazing One you are!
You break through, with holy pow'r.

You broke through boxes of people's lives—
even people you'd just met.
You'd touch and heal a leper. You'd forgive a past.
You'd eat with those the town did not accept.
Some fishermen, you simply asked,
left boats behind, for wider paths.

Lord, amazing One you are!
You break through, with holy pow'r.

Out of the box, Lord Jesus Christ!
Like the crowds, we come to see.
Your teachings, Jesus, still astound;
your sweet forgiveness sets us free.
Still, Lord, with you our healing's found
till Death's last walls, you've taken down....

Lord, amazing One you are!
You break through, with holy pow'r,

... with holy pow'r.
