Hi everyone! 
I was recently going through youtube to find out more Christian songs to listen to and I found out this song - Forever by Kari Jobe. A beautiful song. When a little more than 6 minutes were past into the song, Issac Wimberley came out with an amazing word/poem in which he tries to describe God using the limited vocabulary we have and I would like to share that with you all. The credits for typing his speech down in words goes to a commenter. Here it is -
"If there are words for Him then I don’t have them.*
You see, my brain has not yet reached the point where it could*
form a thought that could adequately describe the greatness of my God,*
and my lungs have not yet developed the ability to release a breath*
with enough agility to breathe out the greatness of his love,*
and my voice, you see,*
my voice, is so inhibited, restrained by human limits*
that it’s hard to even sing the praise of…*
You see… if there are words for Him then I don’t have them.*
My God,*
His grace is remarkable, mercies are enumerable,*
strength is impenetrable, He is honorable, accountable, favorable,*
He is unsearchable yet knowable, indefinable yet approachable, indescribable yet personal,*
He is beyond comprehension, further than imagination, constant through generations,*
king of every nation.*
But if there are words for Him then I don’t have them.*
You see, my words are few, and to try to capture the one true God,*
using my vocabulary will never do,*
but I use words as an expression,*
an expression of worship to a savior,*
a savior who is both worthy and deserving of my praise, so I use words.*
My heart extols the Lord, blesses his name forever,*
He has won my heart captured my mind and has bound them both together,*
He has defeated me in my rebellion,*
conquered me in my sin,*
He has welcomed me into his presence,*
completely invited me in.*
He has made himself the object of my sight,*
flooding me with mercies in the morning,*
drowning me with grace in the night.*
But if there are words for Him*
then I don’t have them.*
But what I do have is good news,*
for my God knew that manmade words would never do,*
for words are just tools that we use to point to the truth,*
so He sent His son Jesus Christ as “The Word”, living proof,*
He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation,*
for by Him all things are created, giving nothingness formation,*
and by His words he sustains, in the power of His name,*
for He is before all things and over all things he reigns, holy is his name,*
so praise him for his life…*
The way he persevered in strife,*
the humble son of God becoming the perfect sacrifice,*
praise him for his death…*
that He willingly stood in our place, that he lovingly endured the grave,*
that he battled our enemy and on the third day rose in victory
He is everything that was promised,*
praise Him as your risen king,
lift your voice and sing for one day he will return for us*
and we will finally be united with our savior for eternity, eternity.*
So it’s not just words that I proclaim,*
for my words point to “The Word” and “The Word” has a name,*
hope has a name,*
joy has a name,*
peace has a name,*
love has a name*
and that name is Jesus Christ.
Praise His Name FOREVER!"
