would that i had a voice to sing

a song that i wrote.

because i continually struggle with my lack of ability to express what i want to express.

would that i had a voice to sing

worthy of Your majesty

would that i had the words to say

just how dear the price You paid

how could i express in full

the glory that which You deserve

all the paintings that in the world

they fall away compared to Yours

oh God, there's nothing i could say that would be justice to Your name

nothing i could do would be enough

i can't express the depth of all Your glories, God

nor understand the fullness of Your love

would that i had a voice to sing

worthy of Your majesty

would that i had the words to say

just how dear the price You paid

oh God, there's nothing i could say that would be justice to Your name

nothing i could do would be enough

i can't express the depth of all Your glories, God

nor understand the fullness of Your love

i stand before You now in awe

still, and silent, tears will fall 

the wonder of Your perfect self

oh God, i'm overwhelmed

oh God, there's nothing i could say that would be justice to Your name

nothing i could do would be enough

i can't express the depth of all Your glories, God

nor understand the fullness of Your love

all i have is the breaking of my living heart 

that You restored from ashes and the dust

though nothing i could ever do

would measure up the weight of You

and nothing i could say would be enough

i'll give all that i have

 i'll give all that i have

i'll give all that i have into Your love
