..."and a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the way of holiness; evil minded people shall not travel on it, but it shall be for those wayfarers who are traveling toward God. (Isaiah 35:8, adapted)

How Your Beauty Astounds Me!



How Your Beauty Astounds me,
O King of Heaven Glorious,
You who reign within us, reign forever over us!

No heart without your Spirit,
can ever see Your Face.
nor know Your sweet communion,
nor touch Your endless grace.

In darkest nights You linger,
brooding over our deeps,
Your endless forgiveness heals us,
Your heart no ledger keeps.

Endless poured out passion:
Your redeeming Love,
Raging like a river, gentle as a dove.

With a heart of adoration,
my love to You I raise,
to You alone all Glory,
to You alone all praise!

How Your Beauty Astounds Me,
O King of Heaven Glorious,
You who reign within us,
reign in victory over us!
