Beautiful Sun
Delirious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I would do anything, to stay by Your side
'Til the darkness flies away
I'm lost in the shadows
When will day begin?

With the sun, beautiful sun

I'm grabbing for miracles to feel You close by
To surround me with Your song
I know uncertainty, but truth lights the way

Like the sun, beautiful sun
Like the sun, beautiful sun

And I have to say I put on the line
All of my faith yes all of the time
Eye has not seen and no ear has heard
I still believe the invisible word

Grace is my story, hope is my song
You have been so good to me
I should have nothing, but I've got it all

With the Son, beautiful Son




Beautiful Son, beautiful Son
Gonna lay in the Son, beautiful Son
