What are my words compared to Yours?

I searched the world for a song that I could sing
Praise to my King, a gift that I could bring
But no music I found could compare to You
Not one could do justice to Your glory
What are my songs compared to Yours?

You speak with thunder and lightning

Your voice shakes the mountains

The foundation of the Earth

All I can offer is this fragile breath

And with each one I'll praise You

With each one I'll praise You more

I searched the world for a poem I could read

A rhyme that would bring glory to my King

But no writing I found was worthy of

This God high above all other gods

What are my words compared to Yours?

You speak with thunder and lightning

Your voice shakes the mountains

The foundation of the Earth

All I can offer is this fragile breath

And with each one I'll praise You

With each one I'll praise You more

Do you have a favorite worship song? I know I do. The reason why we have favorite worship songs is because we feel that certain songs are better than others at conveying God's glory. While this can be true, STOP for a minute. Think about who God really is, think about the wonder of His glory. We cannot even begin to fathom how great God actually is, and no song or poem can begin to describe Him either.

As for me, I am a writer. Or at least, I try to write. I especially like to write about God's wonderful creations. But my scribblings are nothing more than a pathetic, humanized attempt at making sense of God's marvelous, mystical wonder. In every single poem and song I write, I try to describe Him as best I can. I search the dictionary, the thesaurus, the encyclopedia, trying to find words to describe How truly awesome He is. But, I fail miserably each time. Nothing humans can write or say could even come close to painting a picture of who God really is.

I have found that the best thing to do in my frustration is just to STOP. Stop trying to mute God's glory with my human words that fall short every time. Stop all this theology, trying to humanize the Lord who created all things. Just STOP IT and spend time with Him! Talk to Him, praise Him for who He is. You don't need all those bombastic words that do no good anyway. Just talk to Him. Stop being confused by all the noise around you. Just do what Psalm 46 says, and BE STILL. Know that HE is God.
