From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation’s revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing, God
All powerful, untameable
Awestruck we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim
You are amazing, God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet, conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing, God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart
And You love me the same
You are amazing, God
You are amazing, God

God named each and every star and planet in our universe. From creation, which He spoke into existence in Genesis 1:1, “And God said…“ God has had a plan and a purpose for us. God wants a relationship with us. He has never wanted to be a dictator; He has believed in choices—in free will. From the Garden of Eden to present day, God has given us many awe-inspiring wonders and blessings.
When Laura Story was writing her first album, she needed one last song. She was driving along the road, singing and praising God, and she sang, “Indescribable, uncontainable, You are amazing God!” Never did she imagine that God would use Chris Tomlin to record this song on his album and then for it to be used for worship in our churches.
“What brought “Indescribable” into churches all across the U.S. and the world was when Chris Tomlin recorded it for his 2004 release, Arriving, produced by Ed Cash (Caedmon’s Call, Bebo Norman, Bethany Dillon). When Cash, a longtime friend of Story’s from YoungLife circles, suggested that Tomlin use “Indescribable” as his first single, Story was shocked. “I remember saying, ‘That song will never work for corporate worship. There’s no way congregations are going to sing that!’ But it’s humbling and amazing to see what the Lord has done. When I was looking for it, I couldn’t find it. When I just started worshipping, He blew me out of the water.” (Read more here.)
