Forever He reigns

I first heard this poem in Kari Jobe's song Forever. It's by a Poet called Brian Johnson. I don't know what he titled this poem but it's so powerful. I hope it hits you like it hit me. 

Be blessed 

“If there are words for Him then I
don’t have them.

See my brain has not yet reached
the point where it could 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, see my voice is so
inhibited , restrained by human
limits that it’s hard to even sing the
praise up, 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 honorable,
accountable, favorable.

He’s 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 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
Savior, a Savior 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, 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 manmade
words would 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 WORD HE SUSTAINS IN
THE POWER OF HIS NAME. FOR HE
IS BEFORE ALL THINGS AND ABOVE
ALL THINGS HE REIGNS. HOLY IS
HIS NAME!

SO PRAISE HIM FOR HIS LIFE! THE
WAY HE PERSERVERED 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
BATTLED OUR ENEMY, AND ON THE
THIRD DAY ROSE IN VICTORY.

HE IS EVEYTHING 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 SAVIOR FOR
ENTERNITY! ETERNITY!

SO IT IS 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!!!!!!!!"

-Brian Johnson
