Lyrics
CHORUS 1:
You’re indescribable in every way
You searched me out and now I’m caught up
in Your grace
VERSE 1:
I heard my name
Across the ocean
You pulled me closer
The current changed
You showed me life
A new horizon
A silver lining
A brand new day
PRE-CHORUS 1:
And I’m like oh I can’t find the words to say
And oh You’re higher than all my ways
And Lord it’s You who opened my eyes to see
And poured out Your heart for me
My God
My God
CHORUS 2:
You’re indescribable in every way
You searched me out and now I’m caught up
in Your grace
I just can’t fathom it
I can’t make sense
Of how Your love so undeserving never ends
VERSE 2:
You give me freedom
That leaves me breathless
My glimpse of heaven
Is life with You
Now there’s no fighting
This gracious rhythm
I lift my hands high
In praise to You
PRE-CHORUS 2:
Now every time I go I can’t find the words to say
And oh You’re higher than all my ways
And Lord it’s You who opened my eyes to see
And poured out Your heart for me
My God
My God
TAG:
You’re indescribable
Ooh ooh ooh
So indescribable
Ooh ooh ooh
BRIDGE:
Perfect love
Took my place
Only Jesus
Only grace
What compares
What comes close
Where You call me
I will go

Meaning & Inspiration
Indescribable centers on grace that finds a person, changes direction, and opens a new way of seeing life with God. Images of an ocean current, a new horizon, and a brand-new day give the song a clear movement from distance toward freedom. Its repeated confession that God is beyond description does not present faith as confusion; it presents divine love as greater than ordinary language can contain. The response is praise, gratitude, and lifted hands.
The bridge brings that wonder into focus through Jesus: perfect love takes the singers place, grace answers need, and obedience follows the call of God. The lines about being searched out and caught up in grace may recall the biblical picture of God knowing each person completely, while the promise to go where God calls reflects willing discipleship. Rather than celebrating personal achievement, the song gives God the credit for opened eyes, new life, freedom, and enduring love.
