Understating the Unspeakable

"Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable Gift" (2 Corinthians 9:15).

How can we communicate
The splendor of God's Gift,
With human words that understate
The praise we seek to lift?

Wonderful! Exceeding great!
And still these words fall short.
Our words must underestimate
What heaven would report.

But while our words cannot convey
The praise our Lord deserves,
The one who chooses to obey
Will praise Him as he serves.
