All the textures and colors of Your world
All the movement in the dark, the brightness of the stars
Such a masterpiece in front of me
The sound of your creativity
Your beauty given
Here I stand before You
I can't grasp all that You are
But I see Your beauty here
Even when I'm from afar
All deceit and the darkness burns away
Although we kill ourselves, You give us another day
I ran away and hid my face
But You still show me grace
Your beauty given
Here I stand before You
I can't grasp all that You are
But I see Your beauty here
Even when I'm from afar
And I marvel how your light
Penetrates into the dark
While You graciously move towards me
I can't depart
God – to depart from me in my sin, you choose not.
Oh, but rather stand by me in my toil. From You; divergence.
Defiance to the natural, your forgiving embrace is free.
I cravingly grasp your supplied magnificence; pure elegance.
So breathtaking, that you would recompense me in my good work.
But you can see past my lack of righteousness enough…
Enough to say well done, my good and faithful servant
A loveliness gifted and wrapped in pleasant mystery
Unbelievable, I can become closer to you throughout my days
Toward sustaining intimacy with a father seeping in my spirit
Young dazzling colors bleed in my vision, I set my eyes on the prize
Growing through Christ as He bleeds compassion in my story
I want to be Your best friend, as close as I can
Valiantly following You as You lead us into glory
Every bit of creation for this purpose, to praise Your prestige
Now witnessing You bestow Your majesty upon eternity, so here I stand – give me your beauty
Give me Your beauty. God, please, give me Your beauty. Your Beauty Given.
Here I stand before You
I can't grasp all that You are
But I see Your beauty here
Even when I'm from afar
And I marvel how your light
Penetrates into the dark
While You graciously move towards me
I can't depart
