The bookends of Psalm 8 are verses that declare the Lord's majesty and glory. Do I often stop and consider either? I know I sing the praise of both, but do I pause and ponder this declaration of His name or the eternal beauty of His goodness and holiness displayed in His attributes?
Too often my thoughts of God are small. My praise is mediocre instead of majestic. I lack the awe and wonder that is the only response to One so glorious. The word majesty should draw my thoughts to power and greatness. God's glory, although really quite indescribable, is higher than the heavens and is seen through the manifestation of Christ.
As I try to search for words to describe what my heart feels and my mind is thinking, it seems impossible to capture adequately my response. Words fail as I bow in adoration of His majesty and glory. I long to worship the Lord in all of His splendor. Today Lord, awaken my heart and open my eyes to see You. I pray Your name will fill the earth with a fresh shout of praise and may my voice be leading the way!
Indescribable
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation 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 ad 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, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
In describable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
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
You are amazing God
