Indescribable

by Chris Tomlin

Theology & Meaning

Emphasizes God's transcendence and immanence. It draws on passages like Psalm 147:4 and Isaiah 40:26, which speak of God calling each star by name, to illustrate His limitless power. Simultaneously, it teaches that the almighty Creator cares personally for humanity.

Worship Leadership Tips

Use as an upbeat opener or anywhere you want to lift the congregation's eyes to the majesty of God. Its fast tempo gets people engaged - encourage hand-clapping or have the congregation sing echo lines.

Arrangement Tips

Because the verses pack in vivid imagery quickly, consider projecting visual backgrounds of stars or nature. Remind your team to enunciate lyrics clearly so the congregation can catch the rapid descriptions.
