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 wonderous 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 that's too great for words
Oh, how great is the love
The Father has lavished upon us
That we should be called
The sons and the daughters of God

We are speechless in Your presence now
We're astounded as we consider how
You have shown us
A love that leaves us speechless

I am speechless
