Speechless

SPEECHLESS


I am speechless, astonished and amazed in your presence now.
  You have shown us the love that leads us.



My family and I were visiting a church recently one Sunday morning.  
What I witnessed with the eyes of my heart at this precious church,
left my husband and I without words.   
When there are no words, your tears speak louder than what words your mouth can even whisper.
God heard the words that could only form in our hearts that morning, but He captured those words that poured out, in the form of overflowing tears, in His hands.
He held them to His own heart like a most precious thing ever to be given. 
He received it all very personally, to himself, for himself.  

Worship started.  Instantly the anointing fell all through the sanctuary 
and poured onto and throughout each of us within this church. 


 
I could see the colors of their words they were singing, flowing out like a living wave of rainbows toward the people in the church and wrapping the glory of God around us all, working into our hearts and drawing us to the Throne room of God in our worship to Him. 


The words of the worship, never fell down or touched the floor, but stayed within the sanctuary and flowing around His people and the worship team.  


We were so overcome with the presence of The Holy Spirit...that we could barley whisper the words of the songs...but our hearts were loud and clear to God's hearing. 

While there, we saw something even more incredible, more profound then this.

I saw a man walk into a back room behind the worship team and come out with a pile of banners in all colors and sizes. 

He laid them down at the alter in front of the worship team and one by one, I watched God's people come up and take one and begin to wave them to the Lord in worship, to sing and dance with their whole hearts.  But the greatest of this was the children.  Every Child was doing the same.  It was a holy moment.  A time to "take off your shoes, for this is holy ground" moment.

What captivated me even more was...one of the men, knelt down on both knees, lifted his face toward heaven and waved his banner to the glory of God...






but as I was seeing this, I also was seeing a small little boy watching him, he was no more than 1 or nearly 2.  
Just a little fellow.  He walked slowly up beside that man, as he held his small sized banner that fit perfectly in his hand.  He knelt down beside him in the same position, lifted his face toward heaven and waved his banner to his Heavenly Father.
At That Moment, I heard my Lord say to my heart;  
"This child is the greatest in the Kingdom of God.  Forbid them not to come unto me."


I nearly lost all composure I had.  I had to sit down.  I praised my God that He touched me in this beautiful gift of seeing such a thing, with not only my physical eyes, but the deep understanding of the Love our Father has for His own.  The personal Communion He treasures from us with Him.
  
What are we living for?  What are we striving for?  
Oh My Heavenly Father, Make us like this Child.  Cause us to just come to you, simply and sweetly to Your throne  to Love You.  To know, that you are not just God who sits on the Throne, But Oh Father, You desire communion with our lives.  You care about every detail of our hearts and you know everything about us.  We can do nothing to stop You from loving us.  When we come before You, with words that can't even be spoken, our tears and the words that are deep within our hearts, Oh God, You can hear.  
Our worship is for such a Great and Loving God. 

Lord, I hear you!  I hear you say, "I Have Loved You  with a Loving Kindness and an Everlasting Love My  Child.  Come unto me and I will receive You and I, Your Father will never deny you.  I will pour out My spirit in and over you. I renew you.  I will refresh your cup so you may give out to others, the Love I have given to you. "  
Lord I hear you say, "What the enemy steals from you, when You call unto me, I will come to you and give back to you all that was taken.  I want to give you everything you ask for.  
I want to restore your life, heal your heart and bind up your wounds.  I want to raise you up to fly on the wings of eagles.  I will hide you in the shelter of My wings and My breath will blow over you in the sweet strength of a Perfect Love that I have for you, so you may feel me working in your life.  Give Me your heart, give Me the details of your life.  Trust Me, that I have Everything for you.  I have a plan for your life.  To do good, not harm you.  My thoughts of you are good and holy.  My thoughts toward you cannot be counted. They are more than the grains of sands on the seas.  Do not fear, come to Me with the simple faith of a little child.  I will run to you.  I will capture you in my arms of mercy and grace and I will never let you go."

Lyrics

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 wondrous 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 so amazed
We stand in awe of your grace
We stand in awe of your mercy
You have saved us
We stand in awe of your love
From the grave
We are speechless

We are speechless in your presence now
We stand in awe of your cross
We're astounded as we consider how
We stand in awe of your power
You have shown us
A love that leaves us speechless
We are speechless

I am speechless
