Indescribable

There are so many times when I come upon a moment in the day... stillness, quiet... in the lazy wave of grass under my toes. Or the way the light moves through a window... brushing, touching, lightly marking its path. Or a tear... unknown, small, but speaking a song of its own as it drops onto hands clasped in prayer.

There are so many times when I have no words... no words to even come close to describing what is inside. And if I had the words... somehow, the moment would never be as powerful. It would be captured, confined. The moment begun in stillness would end with brittle, stark clarity... yet another description, another adjective, another scrawled line across the bottom of the page.

There are so many times when I praise the Lord for those moments without words... for those all-too-brief silences. For it is then that I can listen. And it is then that I can truly feel, truly know His desire, His love.

The song "All of the Words" by Kutless has been one of my favorites for quite some time, but has taken on so much more meaning after this past week. Praise You, Father... for all we can never say. And thanks to all of you reading this, because we know that prayer does work... in ways we never expect, and with a love we sometimes cannot understand.

"All of the Words"

How do I speak of the indescribable to You?

I will try to explain these feelings that are true

So looking to the sky I will sing

And from my heart to You I bring

All of the words in all of my life

That could never explain and never describe

All of my love, which is nothing to hide

So I lift up my hands and I worship

I worship You

In your presence I forever to choose to live

I will praise You for it's all I have to give

So looking to the sky I will sing

And from my heart to You I bring

(Chorus Repeat)

By Your grace You let me come and talk to You

It's not that I'm worthy I thank you Jesus

For the love that You have shown

All of the words in all of my life

That could never explain and never describe

All of my love, which is nothing to hide

So I lift up my hands and I worship...

I worship You.
