that word

~ amazing ~

I've been thinking about that word the past 5 or 6 days:

• watching how my kiddos are working hard and pulling together to get everything done;
• totally shocked by the consistency of the Internet since Tim left - our sevice, this term, has never been this dependable... regular... dependably regular... regularly dependable...;
• a community of friends on both sides of the ocean and from many nations who do all they can to encourage and support us; and
• my amazing God and Lord, who has organized, continues to orchestrate and will forever put into order all that takes place... nothing just happens to happen!

And so, a few my favorite praise and worship songs... one that I've probably mentioned before... continues playing in my mind whether soaring... skipping... striding... ambling... slip sliding... traipsing... even mucking... my way along through each individual day. I'm reminded that my meditations and mind meanderings don't have to be centered on circumstances, pleasant or difficult... but on the One who will work all things together for His glory and my good. His amazingness totally defies my capacities of expression... And although it is fun to try, He is ~ 

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

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, untameable,
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
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

He is beautiful beyond description,

Too marvelous for words,

Too wonderful for comprehension

Like nothing ever seen or heard ~

Who can grasp His infinite wisdom?

Who can fathom the depths of His love?

He is beautiful beyond description

Majesty enthroned above.

And I stand, I stand in awe of You.

I stand, I stand in awe of You.

Holy God to Whom all praise is due

I stand in awe of You.
