Indescribable
Yours, O Lord,
is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty,
for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom,
O Lord, and you are exalted as
head above all.1 The word “indescribable” is
an adjective used to describe something that cannot be described due to its
intensity, beauty, or shocking nature. In his song, “Indescribable”, Chris Tomlin takes us to a place of imagination. He begins by
setting the scene in nature: “From the
highest of heights to the depths of the sea Creations revealing
Your majesty From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring, Every
creature unique in the song that it sings” If you have ever stood at the
edge of the vast ocean, in the midst of a forest surrounded by towering trees,
looked down into the depths of a great canyon, or stood at the base of a
rushing waterfall you were probably left speechless for a moment, feeling as if
there were no words to describe the sight before you. The rest of the song goes
on to use that same feeling to describe God in all of His greatness: “All powerful, untamable"Awestruck,
we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim You are amazing, God Indescribable,
uncontainable"You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name You are amazing, God Incomparable, unchangeable"You see the
depths of my heart and You love me the same You are amazing, God”2 In
these days surrounding Easter, when the Love of God for us is so present in the
forefront of our minds, I encourage you to seek out the intense beauty that
comes with standing in His presence. Open your imagination to the
indescribable awesomeness of our Lord. Allow the knowledge of His unchanging
Love to fill you with immeasurable gratitude for Jesus’ suffering on the cross
and all that it means for you. And then, take in the untameable power
demonstrated in His resurrection! Suggested
prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I have no words to describe your greatness. Thank
you for seeing me, loving me, and considering me worthy of your forgiveness and
mercy. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen. 1.
