• Currently Listening Cannons By Phil Wickham see related

  I have a new favorite song

  Let me start off by saying I'm a music snob. I'm really picky with the music I like, especially in the Christian music genre. I'm sorry to say, but the Christian music scene is seriously lacking in talented musicians. I've been trying to listen to more Christian music lately, but half the time I turn off the radio because some annoying band starts playing a "Jesus or my girlfriend song" (the kind of love song that can be sung to Jesus, or your girlfriend, but the lyrics don't specify to whom you are singing).
  
  Anyway, about a year ago, my friend had me listen to a guy named Phil Wickham. She knew him from Bible college and told me he would restore my faith in Christian music. Boy howdy was she right! I bought his first album right away and listened to it non stop. Not only is he an amazing musician, but his lyrics are wonderful and so uplifting. I was hooked.
  
  Two Sundays ago, our church worship band played a song that got me all verklemped.  I hasn't heard it before but I loved it right away The lyrics are just amazing and the music is beautiful. As a matter of fact, the song is called "You're Beautiful" and it was written by Phil Wickham.  I think I fell in love with his music all over again. Here are the lyrics:
  
  

  I see Your face in every sunrise
  The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
  The world awakens in the light of the day
  I look up to the sky and say
  You're  beautiful
  
  I see Your power in the moonlit night
  Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
  We are amazed in the light of the stars
  It's all proclaiming who You are
  You're beautiful, You're beautiful
  
  I see you there hanging on a tree
  You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
  Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne
  Soon we will be coming home
  You're beautiful, you're beautiful
  
  When we arrive at eternity's shore
  Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
  We'll enter in as the wedding bells ring
  Your bride will come together and we'll sing
  You're beautiful
  
  

  Isn't this song just gorgeous? Since I don't know how to post a You Tube video, here is a link to the You Tube video of Phil performing this song live.
