Speechless
Copyright 2000 by Jon Gill

How can I describe what You are?
My simple words could never go that far
Even with the music playing
My song is not relaying
The image that I carry in my heart

The hands that made the universe
And hung the earth in the sky
The hands that healed the sick
And were pierced for a man as I
That conquered Hell and death at once
And became the key-holders
Those same hands are now the ones
That I find placed on my shoulders

My tongue cannot speak
Unless it praises You
My eyes can only see
All that you’ve made new!

You make me breathless, Father
So I drink Your living water
Nothing matters other
Than you.

You are love
You are life
You are the living Word
The vine, the bread
The body’s head
The king and good shepherd

Though I know you
I can’t show you
Through words or art or song
But I can live you
In my life
And praise you the whole day long!
There are no words
That mean Jesus
But “King”, “Savior”, and “Friend”
Are as close as I can come
Your description has no end.
