Indescribable

Last night I had the priviledge of going to see Steven Curtis Chapman, Chris Tomlin, and Casting Crowns in concert. Though it was an amazing experience seeing and hearing their music live, the biggest blessing of the night was being able to worship God. When Chris was leading the song, "How Great Is Our God", I felt this wave of power and emotion moving across the arena. The sound of 15,000 people raising their voices in song brought tears to my eyes and it made me think of how great it will be to stand in heaven one day and sing praises for eternity.

Indescribable - Sung by Chris Tomlin (written by Laura Story)

From the highest of heights
To the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of Fall
To the fragrance of Spring
Every creature unique
In the song that it sings
All exclaiming -

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And you know them by name
You are amazing, God
All powerful, untamable
Awestruck, we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim
You are amazing, God

Who has told every lightning bolt
Where it should go?
Or seen heavenly storehouses
Laden with snow?
Who imagined the sun
And gives source to its light?
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom...

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And you know them by name
You are amazing, God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart
And you love me the same
You are amazing, God

[side note: Proper Concert Etiquette]
For the concert goers out there, this is a friendly reminder to consider the compromised/hindered view of those seated behind you when you choose to stand/dance/wave your arms in the air. Only by the grace of God was I able to tolerate/survive an obnoxious fan who not only chose to stand for a majority of the concert, but proceeded to dance, wave her arms around and clap (and not to any particular beat which made it even more distracting/annoying) even after being asked twice not to. So yes, for the sanity of those people behind you, and your own personal safety (I was seriously 2 secs. away from punching her...especially after she gave me attitude about being able to do what she wanted despite the complications it caused to all people seated behind her), please remain seated unless directed otherwise. Thanks!
