Beauty

This is a song, Beauty of the Lord, by Jared Anderson. It's written to our Lord (obviously) so the line "You take my breath away" always gets me. God really does take my breath away. There are so few words, so few ways to express how His beauty and His beautiful image in creation steals my breath. The snow drifting from the clouds above and landing on my eyelashes, a prism of ice shining like a diamond, the flaming crimson sun as it sets in the west. God did this all out of His love for us... sigh... it takes my breath away.

Listen here

Jesus Your love
Is one step closer
I will trust
You will never let me go

Jesus Your love
Has won me over
All my trust
Has found no other

I will declare the beauty of the Lord
Nothing compares to the beauty of the Lord
Jesus Your love takes my breath away
Now I'm living everyday for the beauty of the Lord
The beauty of the Lord

You take my breath away
You take my breath away
