Why would our perfect and holy God be pleased with our feeble attempts at worshiping Him? Even a lofty hymn like Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise — with its majestic lyrics and soaring music — falls short or adequately describing Him. Even if we mastered every language in existence, our words would fall terribly short of capturing His grandeur.

And yet He graciously accepts the praises of His people. He calls us to dwell on His attributes in order that we might focus on Him. Thus, hymns like Immortal, Invisible direct our gazes upward, filling us with wonder as we try to rehearse His innumerable splendors.

Eternity will fully reveal the Lord in all of His glory. No more will the tarnish of sin obscure Him from our sight! In some respects, the limitations of human language will melt into praise and worship far beyond anything that we could possibly imagine. At last, we will enjoy unhindered worship, praising Him with a depth and richness that eludes our current understanding.

Even then, our words probably won’t begin to describe Him.
