Beautiful love

Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love

I used to not think
That a God in heaven ever seen
My soul looking down
At a lost, lost thing
Control, I lost it often
My dog was barking
Had blunts were sparking with sin

I′m warring within
I'm warring, head thoughts
Of coughing, my
Death was often thought of, but
It′s a beautiful thing
How God can take a nightmare
And make it a dream
Say, that's beautiful

Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love

And even on my way to hell
I stopped and fell
He said, Montell, you destined for the rocks in hell
But my death on the Cross
It is often there
To fully cleanse your sin

Like Clorox to hell
The devil's in a cell
Like a slave was there
And my sin
You came and unlocked the gates of my soul
And that′s beautiful
Father God, that′s beautiful

Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love
Beautiful love

Beautiful love

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Beautiful Love" by Montell Fish express a sense of doubt and hopelessness that the singer once felt before experiencing the joy of God's love. He confesses that he never truly believed that a divine being could see his lost soul. It is evident from the lyrics that Montell had lost control and indulged in sinful activities that were detrimental to his well-being. He carried the burden of conflicting thoughts, and the idea of death often crossed his mind. However, something miraculous happened, and God shed his grace on Montell by turning his life around. His nightmare changed into a beautiful dream, which symbolizes the power of redemption. The lyrics indicate that God's love has transformed Montell's life, and that love is beautiful.

The second half of the lyrics shifts from the personal narrative to expressing gratitude towards God. The line "even on my way to hell, I stopped and fell" represents the epiphany that Montell had, which compelled him to turn his life around. The idea that he was destined for the rocks of hell is a metaphor for imminent doom, but the death of Jesus on the cross was enough to cleanse his sins. The reference to Clorox emphasizes the potency of God's love, which is capable of washing away the most intense stains. The devil is reduced to a prisoner, and Montell's soul is freed from the shackles of sin. The song concludes with Montell expressing his admiration and awe for the beautiful love that God has for him.

The unending, breathtaking love of God

I used to not think

My life seemed to be headed nowhere

At a lost, lost thing
I felt lost and alone

Control, I lost it often

I wrestle with myself inside

I'm battling my own thoughts

Of coughing, my
Of losing control of my life
