You Are Beautiful
Slater Armstrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To wood and stream
Sovereign Lord and gentle King
More than we could ever dream
You are beautiful
Father to the fatherless
Healer of our brokenness
You are beautiful
O Jesus, You are beautiful
There is none to compare with you
Jesus you are beautiful
And You show Your love to me
And it gives me grace to see
You are everything my heart desires
You are beautiful
Son of God upon a cross
Tasting death for all of us
Reaching out when we were lost
You are beautiful
Risen Lamb upon the throne
Roaring Lion coming soon
Every eye will see it's true
You are beautiful
