Liturgy

for years i've tried to speak
but words always fail and my voice never seems
to say what I mean to about You

as hard as i've tried to write
to shuffle the notes and to structure the lines
they're never as lovely as they should be

for all of my singing, i've still never sung
a melody worthy or perfect enough
for You

I want to sing that for You

but there's an anthem that wells up within
it echoes Your heart till i'm bursting with it
perfectly still and completely silent
Your voice flows like music
overwhelmed, speechless
I lose my breath then
and how do I sing this?

for all of my singing, I've barely begun
to tell of Your beauty to fathom Your love
and i'll fail to attain it but I'll never give up.
cause Your deep calls to deep, and rings out to me, and i'm just singing along.

no single song could say it all
I used to think that I was writing these songs for You
but I see the truth
You fill my soul till I overflow
and pour it all back out to You
