Beautiful

In this time so many say

how ugly some things are.

I don't see the way they do

because I know it's beautiful today.



So many times we hear

of people doing wrong.

Stealing and fighting

cheating and hating

oh where do I belong?!



But I see you,

and you're beautiful as always.

Shining down on me

as you're standing in the sun.

Oh you're beautiful today.



I see this world today

in all it's ugliness

shrouded in the clouds of sin,

but I see you standing there

shining down like a ray of light.

You give me faith that we can win!



And I still see you,

you're beautiful as always.

You shine down on me

as I'm standing in the Son.

Oh you're beautiful today...



Then I think to myself

Why do I deserve this?

Why do you have this mercy on me?

All I do is cause you grief.

I should be left to die in the street,

but you did that for me!

I don't deserve your love oh Lord,

but now I'm glad that I believe

as I listen and percieve

that you're beautiful for me!



And now I see you,

You're beautiful as always,

and now I cry because you

shine down on me.

So I choose to stand in the Son...

To see that you're beautiful today.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The Lord is always there...even in those dark times when you think there's no light...he's there, watching you, holding out his hand for you to take, but he doesn't force us...he lets us choose whether to take it or not.  If we do, then he carries us, but if we don't...he waits until we do.  I am so happy to know Jesus Christ, and I thank him with my words and my heart because I am just as bad as everyone else, and he forgives me...every single day.
