Indescribable movie review

"Amidst the uncertainties of WWI, Pastor Lehman begins to write a song about the love of God. When he gets stuck on the third verse, Blynn comes to the rescue by laying out a strategy to help Papa write the song."

Negative Elements:

The only thing that I did not like about the movie was the amateur acting. It could have been better. However, the story really made up for the lack of professional acting. 

My Review:

Indescribable is the convicting story about how Fredrick M. Lehman wrote his beautiful, Christian hymn, "The Love of God." (I am not 100% that this is a true story or not however) I loved how the story was portrayed. It was a well done, impacting movie with no negative elements noticed. I liked how it explained the verse "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind" in a practical way. Indescribable showed how that is possible to live out in your real life. It answered questions like "How can I love God when I have never seen Him?" It showed that even if we don't know God's plan, His ways are still best. The ending was perfect!

I enjoyed the movie and left feeling like it was not just a "feel good" Christian movie. It was very impacting.

Other Notes:

We watched this movie through Amazon Instant Video for free! If you are a member of Amazon Prime, you may be able to do the same! =)

Lastly, I am going to include the hymn that this story was based off of, because it is so beautiful and honoring to God! (note: Lehmen did not write the last verse. This is explained in the movie.)

The love of God is greater far

Than tongue or pen can ever tell;

It goes beyond the highest star,

And reaches to the lowest hell;

The guilty pair, bowed down with care,

God gave His Son to win;

His erring child He reconciled,

And pardoned from his sin. 

Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endure—

The saints’ and angels’ song. 

When hoary time shall pass away,

And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,

When men who here refuse to pray,

On rocks and hills and mountains call,

God’s love so sure, shall still endure,

All measureless and strong;

Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—

The saints’ and angels’ song. 

Could we with ink the ocean fill,

And were the skies of parchment made,

Were every stalk on earth a quill,

And every man a scribe by trade;

To write the love of God above

Would drain the ocean dry;

Nor could the scroll contain the whole,

Though stretched from sky to sky.
