Powerful worship

I first heard this song two years ago at the Acts 29 Pastors’ Conference.

Worship was led by a team from the Village Church, whose pastor, Matt Chandler, had just been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

The lead worshiper of the team was Matt’s wife — who knew her husband might soon be going Home.

Deeply impacted

I was deeply impacted seeing the joy on her face as she worshiped Jesus Christ with this song — especially the fourth verse.

Listen and you’ll understand why.  (I’ll include the lyrics below.)

You’re Beautiful  (c) Phil Wickham

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
