No hay palabras

Lilly Goodman's song "No hay palabras" is a heartfelt expression of the ineffable nature of the divine. The lyrics convey the artist's struggle to find adequate words and means to describe the grandeur and majesty of God. Goodman searches through papers, books, and dictionaries, attempting to encapsulate the essence of the divine in a song, but ultimately finds that human language and artistic tools fall short. This theme of the inadequacy of human expression in the face of divine greatness is a central motif in the song.

The chorus emphasizes this sentiment, repeating that there are no words, music, concepts, or instruments that can compare to God's glory. This repetition underscores the overwhelming and transcendent nature of the divine, which surpasses all human understanding and artistic representation. The use of phrases like "no hay palabras" (there are no words) and "no hay música" (there is no music) highlights the limitations of human creativity when it comes to capturing the essence of God's majesty.

In the verses, Goodman further elaborates on this theme by stating that no ink or paper can describe God's majesty. The imagery of falling before God and singing in His presence conveys a sense of awe and reverence. The song ultimately becomes an act of worship, acknowledging the limitations of human expression while celebrating the boundless glory of the divine. Goodman's powerful vocals and emotive delivery enhance the song's message, making it a moving tribute to the greatness of God.
