Sow for yourself righteousness, reap the fruit of steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that He may come and rain salvation upon you (Hosea 10:12).

O Lord, You're beautiful


Een gevoelig en ontroerend nummer van Keith Green, gezongen en gespeeld door de mij onbekend Shane. Maar wel heel mooi en ingetogen gezongen. Er spreekt een diep verlangen uit de tekst van dit lied, met name de zin 'I want to take Your word and shine it all around' ... aangeraakt te zijn door God en dit ook willen delen. Omdat het zo mooi en wonderlijk is.

Hier de link naar het origineel van Keith Green in een live uitvoering (alleen geluid).

Oh Lord, you're beautiful

Oh Lord, you're beautiful,

Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.

Oh Lord, you're beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.

I want to take your word and shine it all around.
But first help me to just, live it Lord.
And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown.
For my reward is giving glory to you.

Oh Lord, please light the fire,
That once burned bright and clear.
Replace the lamp of my first love,
That burns with Holy fear.

I want to take your word and shine it all around.
But first help me to just, live it Lord.
And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown.
For my reward is giving glory to you.

Oh Lord, you're beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
Oh Lord, you're beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
