Bill Gaither – The Glorious Impossible lyrics
See the Virgin is delivered
In a cold and crowded stall
Mirror of the Father's glory
Lies beside her in the straw

He is Mercy's incarnation
Marvel at this miracle!
For the Virgin gently holds
The Glorious Impossible

Love has come to walk on water
Turn the water into wine
Touch the leper, bless the children
Love both human and divine

Praise the wisdom of the Father
Who has spoken through His Son
Speaking still, He calls us to
The Glorious Impossible

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Glorious Impossible

He was bruised for our transgressions
And He bears eternal scars
He was raised for our salvation
And His righteousness is ours

Praise, oh praise Him, praise the glory
Of this lavish grace so full
Lift your souls now and receive the
Glorious Impossible!

Hallelujah

    the lyrics are not written by Bill or Gloria Gaither they were written by Carl Cartee. Here is his explanation of the song
    .Nothing is impossible with God, that's true, but the song is intended to be a celebration of God stepping into what was impossible for us and making it glorious through his overcoming power. The verses try to set up pictures of things that seem impossible for us, the incarnation, walking on water, the resurrection and then invite us to believe beyond ourselves and look for miracles that move us to worship. Poetically using two words that don't really go together normally, sets the listener up to have one word redeem the other…other songs that do that are Beautiful Messiah by Diamond Rio or Broken and Beautiful by Mark Schultz (I think)

    Outside of the verses, the chorus does not make sense, or stand alone. It's a response to the truth in the verses. Full context is best and especially important for this song.

    . I wish more people asked questions like this. It makes me want to be a better writer and work harder than ever to communicate truth for people.
