In 2002, under the guidance of Hammond (and as part of his fledgling label, in conjunction with Verity Records, a subset of Zomba), Rosario came out with her debut, More, More, More, which combined urban R&B sounds with contemporary gospel and even Latin music, but soon after the album's release, she began to notice trouble with her voice. The following year nodules were found on her vocal chords, rendering speech, let alone singing, nearly impossible. After taking time off to treat the nodules and recover, Rosario returned in 2005 with Now More Than Ever...Worship, and two years later with Joyous Salvation.

Beautiful Son
Joann Rosario Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I had a baby boy
Would I give Him away
To save the lives of people
Who might not even care

Lord, I know Your love is greater
Than mine could ever be
Thank You for the sacrifice
You made at Calvary

Oh, Your Son, Your beautiful Son
He's my Savior, my Redeemer
Your Son, Your beautiful Son
Gave His life to set me free

There are no words that can express
What has happened in my heart
Because of Your Son
Your beautiful Son

Now it's my responsibility
To tell this dying world
There's only one way to the Father
Through Jesus Christ, His Son

Oh, I know a day is coming
When I'll see Him face to face
I will bow and sing holy
To His amazing grace

Oh, Your Son, Your beautiful Son
He's my Savior, my Redeemer
Your Son, Your beautiful Son
Gave His life to set me free

There are no words that can express
What has happened in my heart
Because of Your Son
Your beautiful Son

Son of God be
Enthroned on our praise
Be exalted
We love You forever

Oh, Your Son, Your beautiful Son
He's my Savior, my Redeemer
Your Son, Your beautiful Son
Gave His life to set me free

There are no words that can express
What has happened in my heart




Because of Your Son
Your beautiful Son
