    Behind The Song: For All Seasons Shares The Heart Behind Their Single “Higher”

    By Abby Carpenter | Christian News | 0 comment | 23 January, 2018 | 1

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from For All Seaons. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their single “Higher.”

    “It kind of revolves around the climate of the world right now and as believers how we’re called to live. I remember when we first started writing it, having these conversations about how we wish we could just have this list or this perfect guideline of things that you’re supposed to say to someone that doesn’t follow Jesus and how somehow that list would’ve always translated into that person wanting to follow after Jesus. The reality is that sometimes Jesus is just asking us to hold our tongue and sit with people and love people because He has given us this perfect example of doing all these things that are counter-cultural: eating with sinners & tax-collectors and just reaching out to the least of these. And so in writing this song, with saying those words “your ways are higher” it’s this understanding that Jesus is calling us to look at things differently. To not look at things through our own lens, where we see people’s brokenness and we just want to call it out for what it is and somehow hope that that translates, but instead we need people with grace and love and sometimes that means speaking hard truth to people, sometimes that means just sitting alongside someone and in their brokenness and just letting them know that you’re there and you’re available and you’re also someone that’s broken.” – Emily Hamilton (For All Seasons)

    “Higher” Lyrics

    You are maker of all
    You were made by none
    Even when the tide’s rising I’m deep in Your love

    You remain in control
    With a steady hand
    Even when the lies of this life start to make sense

    So be my guiding light
    When things aren’t black and white
    I’ll trust in who You are
    In who You are

    Your ways are higher, Your ways are higher
    Than all of my way, far beyond what I can see
    You’re higher, Your ways are higher
    For now and always, far beyond what I can see
    You’re higher

    You have made Yourself known
    Through the eyes of faith
    The invisible is visible on the darkest of days

    There’s no place You won’t go
    Nothing out of reach
    When I make mistakes or walk away You never leave me

    So be my guiding light
    When things aren’t black and white
    I’ll trust in who You are
    In who You are

    Your ways are higher, Your ways are higher
    Than all of my way, far beyond what I can see
    You’re higher, Your ways are higher
    For now and always, far beyond what I can see
    You’re higher

    You’re higher
    You’re higher
    Far beyond what I can see
    You’re higher

    So be my guiding light
    When things aren’t black and white
    I’ll trust in who You are
    In who You are

    Your ways are higher, Your ways are higher
    Than all of my way, far beyond what I can see
    You’re higher, Your ways are higher
    For now and always, far beyond what I can see
    You’re higher

    You’re higher
    You’re higher
    Far beyond what I can see
    You’re higher

    You’re higher (Your ways are higher)
    You’re higher
    Far beyond what I can see
    You’re higher
