The Song of the Beautiful

The broken, weary and poor
Finding…You are the cure
The weak and dying, glorifying, You in it all…

It’s the song of the beautiful, Jesus loves me…
It’s the song of the beautiful, Jesus saved me…
The song of the redeemed, the echoes of those made free,
It’s the song of the beautiful, Jesus loves me…

The fallen back on their feet
The fatherless now complete…
The innocent suffering, rising from wounding, to find…You were there all along!

It’s the song of the beautiful, Jesus loves me…
It’s the song of the beautiful, Jesus saved me…
The song of the redeemed, the echoes of those made free -
It’s the song of the beautiful, Jesus loves me…

Oh how He loves me
Oh how He loves me
Oh how He love me…
The broken, the beautiful….

The prodigal running home…
The widow never alone…
The one who is waiting, rising and singing, “You…Jesus, You are my all!”

This is another new favorite from Christy Nockel’s cd, Life Light Up.  It emphasizes the beauty of redemption even as it acknowledges the brokenness that precedes it. 

Truly, none of us is beautiful in and of ourselves; we are marred by the brokenness of sin and in need of the deep love of Jesus to make us beautiful.  We don’t usually get to see beauty until we see brokenness, perhaps to remind us of our need for Jesus to be our all.
