'FOREVER' BY KARI JOBE

If there are words for Him, Then I don’t have them
You see my brain has not yet reached the point
Where it can 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 words for Him, then I don’t have them

My God,
His Grace is Remarkable,
Mercies are Innumerable,
Strength is Impenetrable,
He is Honourable, Accountable, Favourable,
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 and capture the one true God using my vocabulary will never do,
But I use words as an expression, an expression of worship to a Saviour,
A Saviour 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.
Flooded 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 man-made words will 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 Firstborn of all creation, for by Him all things were created,
Giving nothingness formation and by His words He sustains by 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 bowed our enemy and on the third day rose in victory,


He is everything that was promised
Praise Him as the Risen King,
Lift your voice and sing,
For one day He will return for us and
We will finally be united with our Saviour for Eternity, Eternity

So it’s not just words that I proclaim
For my words quoted 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
