Indescribable!
Indescribable
by Chris Tomlin
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation’s revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
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
You are amazing God
While I was driving home tonight I saw the beginnings of the most amazing storm I have ever seen. Lightning flashed all around us, thunder rolled, rain poured.
As soon as I got home, I went to a window and watched the storm roll in. Lightning so bright it lit the sky like the sun, so bright the street lights were fooled into thinking it was daytime and shut off. Streak after streak of God’s electricity shot across the sky. It went on and on, lasting more than two hours. At one point, it seemed that our little house was smack in the middle of all the action, with lightning on all sides. The thunder shook the walls. The rain pounding on the roof.
It was awesome.
And it reminded me of a song by Chris Tomlin, “Indescribable.”

Nothing in God’s world happens by accident. He knows where every bolt of lightning is headed, before it leaves the heavens. He knows where the sun will shine, and where the rain will come down.
God’s world, the world He has given us to live in, is by His design. This world is amazing. We look around and see grass that needs to be mowed, or hedges that need to be trimmed. We see gardens that need to be weeded. When it’s hot, we want cooler weather. When it’s cold, we long for warmth.
That’s all fine, that’s life. But every now and then we need to sit back and be amazed at this world. Amazed that God has pieced it all together, from the smallest insect to the largest mountain. And that it all fits so perfectly.
God’s world is perfectly made. Take a little time to be amazed by His handiwork.

LOVE that song!!! One of my favorites it puts me in the “right” state of mind when sometimes my mind may wonder.
