Where, where do I begin?
How do I say what's on my heart with aper and a pen?
How, how can I describe
The God of all the universe and make it rhyme?
I just wonder if it's worth
Painting You with so few words
Oh, with so few words
Still there's something about You
That keeps me in pursuit of who You are
I will spend my days finding ways to praise
The glory and the grace of who You are
Why, why do I even try?
If I could speak the tongue of every man I'm still tongue-tied
What can I say about You
When everything I have won't do
Oh, it will not do
As long as life runs through my veins
I will live to praise Your name
And if a hundred years I live
I won't even scratch, I won't even scratch the surface

MercyMe's 'Something About You' is a worship song that expresses the singer's awe and inadequacy in describing God's greatness. The lyrics convey a humble realization that human words fall short when trying to capture the majesty of the Creator. Despite this limitation, the song declares a lifelong commitment to pursue and praise God, acknowledging that even a hundred years of worship would barely scratch the surface of His glory and grace. The song reflects a deep sense of wonder and devotion, focusing on the mystery and beauty of who God is.
