Phil Wickham :: Beautiful

A few months back I saw mention of Phil Wickham on Brody’s blog. They were friends and Brody was telling folks that Phil was an awesome singer/songwriter ontop of being an awesome guy. Then a bit later Brody helped release Singalong, Phil’s free live worship album. I downloaded it back in August.

But just recently I spent time listening to it. And then when figured out that I had it all out of order in iTunes it made a big difference (it’s a live cd recorded at a worship meeting.) Anyhow, one of his songs is my new favorite. It’s called BEAUTIFUL. Last night it gave me chills as I really listened to the lyrics. That doesn’t happen often. So I figured I’d share it with you. Listen to it up above and tell me what you think.

The cd is a masterful mix of originals, traditional hymns, and a great blend of Phil’s voice, his guitar, and crowd singing along.

Anyhow, give it a listen. You can get the cd yourself for free from his website. It’s really good.

Hope your holidays have gone  well so far. Let me know how you are. (lyrics are below)

[ht: Brody] 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, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful

I see Your face, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful
I see Your face, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful
I see Your face, I see Your face
I see Your face, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful
