Inexpressible (Poem)

 

Inexpressible

Inexpressible, formless, unutterable...
What my heart wants to say to You.
Inside, the words aren't flowing right,
I offer You a glimpse - the barest view.
What Your love means to my heart,
I can only share the smallest part.

Inexpressible, formless, unutterable...
To my heart - these words are priceless,
But I can't reach inside to pull them out;
What I'm feeling so real, I can't express.
Oh Your love for me means so very much -
When I try to grasp these words ...
They slip right out of touch.

Inexpressible - the very words I long to say...
Formless - they don't come together the right way...
Unutterable - I can only offer You my heart,
And let Your Spirit read each and every part...

Maybe my heart can reveal the prayer
That is locked deep within;
This prayer I send to You.
The love that You gave to me,
I long to share;
I long to give these words to You.

Inexpressible, formless, unutterable...

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Romans 8:26

But God commendeth His love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down his life for us:
and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
1 John 3:16

And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:5
