La La La
I have nothing to say today.
This is an odd experience for me. Ask anyone I know, and they would definitely tell you I'm usually not at a loss for words. But today...well, today is not a bad day, but it's not a good day. I just sort of feel "blah" and like there's nothing I have that's worth saying, and if there is I just can't come up with it.
I guess we all have speechless moments. Sometimes it's brought on by extreme joy where no words can express how happy we are. And sometimes it's times of complete and utter sorrow where nothing we can say or anything anyone else can say to us can touch the depth of the pain we're drowning in. Words just don't cut it at times.
There's a song by Point of Grace that talks about those times when we come before our Father and we don't know what to say. Here are the lyrics of the song written by Brent Wilson:
If a picture's worth a thousand words
What are they?
And since Your Spirit intercedes for me
What do you hear when I pray?
'Cause I'm finding it hard to find the words
to let you know how my heart can hurt
so I'll sing the tune and let you fill in the words
(Chorus)
La La La
La La La
La La La..
It's comforting to know
My words aren't all You hear
I can talk to You with laughter
And I can talk to you in tears
And I don't have to know just what to say
For You to hear me when I pray
So I'll sing a part and let you read my heart
How amazing to know that we don't have to come to God with flowery words. We can simply come. We can come to Him sobbing, without being able to utter a single thing that makes sense, and we can come to Him laughing in joy. We don't have to think of a beautiful new way to praise Him that could be the next big worship song. Sitting in silence in awe of Him is more than enough! Even if we don't have words to say doesn't mean we can't pray.
God doesn't need our words when He has our hearts.
