We sang Phil Wickham's "You're Beautiful" today in church. Hands down one of my favorite worship songs. It brings me back to last Easter when we sang it during baptism. The song + Easter + plus baptism = a most beautiful and peaceful moment in time. What struck me today while singing the lyrics, though, was not each verse with such eloquent descriptions of God and the Gospel (Which is usually my favorite part of the song). Rather, what struck me most was the simple two words: "You're Beautiful."
Now, it's not the same beauty as is fed to us by pop culture in OUR desire to be beautiful to someone. No...it is a simple declaration that GOD is the one who is beautiful, his good and perfect design for all eternity is the only beauty that exists. I am hideously ugly, humanity is hideously ugly without the redeeming GRACE of God.
God, YOU are BEAUTIFUL :)
