Beautiful One
Jeremy Camp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wonderful, so wonderful
Is your unfailing love
Your cross has spoken mercy over me
No eye has seen no ear has heard
No heart could fully know
How glorious, how beautiful you are

Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing

Powerful so powerful
Your glory fills the skies
Your mighty works displayed for all to see
The beauty of your majesty
Awakes my heart to sing
How marvellous how wonderful you are

You opened my eyes to your wonders anew
You captured my heart with this love
Because nothing on earth is as beautiful as you

My should must sing
My should must sing




My should must sing
Beautiful one

This is the lyric/chords/arrangement that go with this live video by Jeremy.

*special note: the intro is written like this because it's actually how the 2nd part of the bridge
(before the 4 times of chorus at the end of the song is played!) Once you learn the intro you know the bridge.

The bass gives the chords away (of the intro) if one listens to the live video above.

For the intro, the bass climbs upward by playing a G (4 counts) - A (4 counts) - B (4 counts) - C# (4 counts)
// G (4 counts) - A (4 counts) - D (8 counts)
