Words fail.

What words could describe the thanks due to a Savior who would give Himself on a cross for me?

What sentence could I construct that could capture the joy that is within me because of Jesus?

What story could I tell that would cause others to understand this joyous new life He has given me?

What poem could I pen that could communicate the love I feel from God?

What song could I write that would even give a glimpse of the peace that I have from knowing Him?

Yes, words fail entirely.  A million songwriters have tried and fallen short.   A million poets have failed as well.  A million writers have done their best, with millions more yet to try.  There is little chance I’ll ever be able to do any better.

I realize that the best I can do is to offer a simple, “Thank you, Jesus” and trust that He knows how much I wish I had better words.
