Day 3: Speechless

Day 3 of a week of songs is one of my all time favorites by one of my all time favorite artists, Steven Curtis Chapman. The song is "Speechless", and I'm leaving it at that, because the awesomeness of our Father in Heaven leaves me speechless. And that is what this song is about. Listen to the music and read the lyrics below, and realize that the love of our sweet Jesus should indeed leave you speechless.

Words fall like drops of rain

My lips are like clouds

I say so many things

trying to figure you out

But as mercy opens my eyes

My words are stolen away 

With this breathtaking view of your grace

And I am speechless I'm astonished and amazed

I am silenced by your wondrous grace

You have saved me

You have raised me from the grave

And I am speechless in your presence now

I'm astounded as I consider how

You have shown us 

a love that leaves us speechless  

So what kind of love could this be

that would trade Heaven's throne for a cross

And to think you still celebrate

over finding just one who was lost

And to know you rejoice over us

the God of this whole universe 

It's a story too great for words

Oh how great is the love

The father has lavished upon us

That we should be called

the sons and daughters of God

We are speechless so amazed

We stand in awe of your grace

We stand in awe of your mercy

You have saved us

We stand in awe of your love

From the grave

We are speechless

We are speechless in your presence now

We stand in awe of your cross

We're astounded as we consider how

We stand in awe of your power

You have shown us

A love that leaves us speechless

We are speechless

I am speechless
