Risen King!


Acts 3:15
"You killed the author of life, but God raised Him from the dead."

Whom Words Cannot Express

There are words for Him that I don’t have them
You see my brain have not yet reached a point
Where it can form a thought that can adequately describe the greatness of my God
And my lungs have not yet developed the ability to release a breath or have enough opportunity 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 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 altogether
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 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 first born of all creation
For by Him all things were created, giving nothingness formation
And by His words He sustains in the power of His name
For He is before all thing and over all things He reigns 

Holy is His name, so praise Him for His life
The way He persevered His 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 the enemy and on the third day rose in victory!
He is everything that was promised
Praise Him as a 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!
