About Continuing with my little series of song titles, I offer this one, from the not-so-well-known, Steve Curtis Chapman. I just love these lyrics!!

Words fall like drops of rain
My lips are like clouds
I say so many things
Trying to figure you out
But as mercy opens my eyes
My words are stolen away
With this breathtaking view of your grace

And I am speechless I?m astonished and amazed
I am silenced by your wondrous grace
You have saved me
You have raised me from the grave
And I am speechless in your presence now
I?m astounded as I consider how
You have shown us
A love that leaves us speechless

So what kind of love could this be
That would trade heaven?s throne for a cross
And to think you still celebrate
Over finding just one who was lost
And to know you rejoice over us
The God of this whole universe
It?s a story that?s too great for words

Oh how great is the love
The father has lavished upon us
That we should be called
The sons and the daughters of god

We are speechless so amazed
We stand in awe of your grace
We stand in awe of your mercy
You have saved us
We stand in awe of your love
From the grave
We are speechless

We are speechless in your presence now
We stand in awe of your cross
We?re astounded as we consider how
We stand in awe of your power
You have shown us
A love that leaves us speechless
We are speechless

I am speechless

Best regards to all,

Chris

Beautiful photoart Chris .... definitely speechless with the result here, it really is splendid.

It reminds me of Judi's photoart that I also admire greatly and from the thumbnail I thought it was hers !!!

Sorry for my recent absence, a change of shift pattern and no spare time recently !

Best wishes,
Steve

Strong and dramatic sky... wow Chris.
I like the firey tones of the sunlight against this dramatic blue sky.
The silhouette of the bench added a lot to the mood of the photo.
bravo my friend,

The sky alone is a great shot, but the framing of the bench rally makes it for me. It stand out so well against the sky. love your presentation as well as the whole series with this framing

A really outstanding sunset, Chris. The bench in the foreground makes all the difference in the composition. The sunlit clouds in the deep sky finish it off. Best wishes, Larry

Hi Chris, love the photo and i like the idea :)
In fact i suggested this idea a couple of times as a possible new project. Didn't get any acceptance though :( However i enjoy reading your interpretation of the different titles.
Best wishes Neil
