Reply To: Knowing God, Chapters 7 & 8

[Carolyn Hayes]

What Packer took two chapters to say, Chris Tomlin captures in his song, “Indescribable”:

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation reveals 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, untamable
Awestruck, we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim . . . You are amazing, God!
Who has told every lightening bolt where to go?
Or has seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow?
Who has 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! You are amazing, God!

Now, you might be thinking, ‘It doesn’t seem like Carolyn likes reading Packer’s book . . . However, I do! because it brings to the top of my mind and memory how much I know God! I believe that writers, who write about God, are supposed to enable readers to realize how much they truly know “about God” and then, encourage

his readers to use their finite minds to understand that all that knowledge must be used to light the fire in their hearts to convince them . . . that “Hey! I do know God! Duh! I know so much about Him, that I certainly can’t say, “I don’t know God! I have to “KISS” this whole idea and stop complicating it! . . .
