How Beautiful
Paris Twila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wine and the bread
And the sons of the earth
How beautiful the feet that walked
The long dusty roads
And the hills to the cross
How beautiful is the body of christ
How beautiful the heart that bled
That took all my sin
And bore it instead
How beautiful the tender eyes
That chose to forgive
And never despise
How beautiful
How beautiful is the body of christ
And as he laid down his life
We offer this sacrifice
That we will live just as he died
Willing to pay the price
Willing to pay the price
How beautiful the radient bride
Who waits for her groom
With his light in her eyes
How beautiful when humble hearts give
The fruit of pure lives
So that others may live
How beautiful
How beautiful
How beautiful is the body of christ
How beautiful the feet that bring
The sound of good news
And the love of the king
How beautiful the hands that serve
The wine and the bread
And the sons of the earth
How beautiful
How beautiful
How beautiful is the body of christ
