Lyrics
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, to 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 clean
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, to live it Lord
And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown
For my reward is giving glory to You
