When the storm is raging all around me
You are the peace that calms My troubled sea
And the cares of this world Darken my day
You are the light that shines And shows me the way
Oh, the beauty of Your majesty
On the cross You showed Your love for me!
Beautiful Lord
Awesome and mighty
I’m captured by this love I see
Beautiful Lord
Tender and holy
Your mercy brings me to my knees
It’s Your mercy that has made me free
Beautiful Lord
When my sin is all that I can see
Your grace remains the shelter that I seek
And when my weakness is all I can give
Your gentle Spirit gives me strength again
And oh, the beauty of Your majesty
On the cross You showed Your love for me
Beautiful Lord
Awesome and mighty
I’m captured by this love I see
Beautiful Lord
Tender and holy
Your mercy brings me to my knees
It’s Your mercy that has made me free
Beautiful Lord
And I am lifted by Your love to sing!
It’s Your mercy that has made me free!
And I am lifted by Your love to sing!
It’s Your mercy that has made me free!
Oh, the beauty of Your majesty
On the cross You showed Your love for me!
Beautiful Lord
Awesome and mighty
I’m captured by this love I see
Beautiful Lord
Tender and holy
Your mercy brings me to my knees
It’s Your mercy that has made me free
Beautiful Lord
You’re beautiful, my Lord You’re beautiful, my Lord
He is so beautiful and we so often fail to acknowledge this. His love is perfect, unconditional, never ending and THAT makes Him so beautiful to me. His grace is freely given, no strings attached. His forgiveness is complete, it's over and over again until we think there's no WAY He could forget what we have done. THAT is what brings me to my knees.
This song is such a tender love song between a Father and His child- in our desperation and weakness, His gentle touch gives us strength to keep going. When we are overcome and devastated and think we've worn out all our "i'm sorry's" He listens to those words again and embraces us with His mercy, shows us the cross and casts our sins as far as the East is from the West.
Praise God above all else because He cares for us. The hands that placed each star, wove each blade of grass, placed each drop of water in the ocean longs for our affections. To go back to a previous blog post- He is jealous for us and our attention. Give Him all you have- He deserves that and so much more.
Thanks to my brother Timmy for posting this song on facebook- it was just what i needed today :)

Forgiveness is such an amazing and wonderful concept, and an even more amazing practice. Thank you so much for posting Cousin.
ReplyDeleteAmen. What an awesome thought. The God who placed each drop of water in the ocen longs FOR OUR ATTENTION! Wow! How we take the relationsip for granted. Thanks Timmy for sharing the song and Mo for sharing your intimate thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI had no Idea that song would bless so many when I posted it. I hoped it would though. What a beautiful worship song to the Lord.
ReplyDeleteAlso Moriah, it is easy to play. Can't wait to hear your version. Love you.
Thanks for posting Mo. I need to remember these things so badly. Tis bewildering that it can be hard to rest in forgiveness.
