You're beautiful

This post got me thinking about this song we sang at Soul Survivor.

The first time I sang it I couldn't helping thinking through the words.

So firstly, two plusses. One is that Phil Wickham who wrote the song is giving it away. Now that's a nice bit of grace and jolly generous of him. He has an album called 'Sing-a-long' which you can download here for free. And I am sure by now this song is being sung up and down the land.

All I am saying is think it through. My counsel is see what you think- explore the scriptures (Psalm 8 might be a start) and learn to think doctrinally. I, like Matt, loved the Wimber song and it was important to me and emotionally I think that you need to let your heart see the beauty of Christ. This can be hard if you are a stubborn heart-hearted man like me at times. Sometimes though, when I sing words that tell me what I do ('Look in to the sky...etc) which immediately makes me think "Do I do that?", it doesn't help me worship Jesus- at least the first time I sing it.

I liked the line 'You bled you died and you rose again for me' and, in days of so much pain and tears and heartache, the thought of no more tears is a wonderful hope and truth.

Nonetheless, maybe Matt and Phil should chat?

I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You’re beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It’s all proclaiming who You are
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful

I see you there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You’re beautiful, you're beautiful

When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I see Your face, You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful
I see Your face, You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful
I see Your face, I see Your face
I see Your face, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful
