Help Me Find the Words: Orchestral Alternative Pop-Rock Worship

Praise & Worship

Aug 27

Christian rock worship song "Help Me Find the Words" by songwriter Talena Winters.

What can you say when words fail before the wonder of God?

“Help Me Find the Words” is a mid-tempo alternative rock worship song woven with orchestral textures and aching honesty. It’s the sound of standing before Jesus—overwhelmed, unworthy, and yet deeply loved—and realizing that no lyric, no melody could ever be enough to capture His beauty.

Jesus, I want to tell you
Just how much, how much I love you
You are the breath I breathe,
Help me find the words
You’re beautiful beyond description,
Can’t help but stare at you.
You are the breath I breathe,
Help me find the words, Oh_
What can I say to you?
What can I say to you?
Come and cleanse my lips,
Help me find the words.
What can I say to you?
What can I say to you?
Spirit, speak for me,
Help me find the words.
Jesus, I want to tell you
Just how much, how much I need you
You are the breath I breathe,
Help me find the words
You hold me close, you hold me up,
I’m holding on to you.
You are the breath I breathe,
Help me find the words, Oh_
What can I say to you?
What can I say to you?
Come and cleanse my lips,
Help me find the words.
What can I say to you?
What can I say to you?
Spirit, speak for me,
Help me find the words.
You’re beautiful, so beautiful
You’re wonderful, so wonderful,
You live in me, I live for you
You are the breath I breathe
What can I say to you?
What can I say to you?
Come and cleanse my lips,
Help me find the words.
What can I say to you?
What can I say to you?
Spirit, speak for me,
Help me find the words. Oh_
What can I say to you?
What can I say?
Come and cleanse my lips,
Yeah, help me find the words.
Oh_
Spirit, speak for me,
Help me find the words.
When I sat down to write this song, I wanted to write a worship song that expressed how I felt about God, but found myself at a loss. How does one capture the beauty of Jesus in three to four minutes? Impossible!
That speechlessness became the cry of this song. Like Moses before the burning bush or Isaiah before the throne of God, I felt totally unworthy of speaking, yet unable to look away from the magnificence and wonder of the God who made the universe… yet who calls me his daughter.
This song was written in 2012. I’m thrilled to finally get it produced. The voice is digital based on audio of me singing (I wish I sounded this good!). I had a lot of fun arranging the strings for this one, too, and learned a ton about mixing and mastering while I worked on it. I hope it moves you.
Written in a moody minor key and spanning about an octave and a half, “Help Me Find the Words” suits both male and female leads and can work for solo artists or full bands.
