Beautiful Jesus!

When I attended a Passion conference, I was deeply carried as the worship team lead the people through songs. Yes at first, of course my motivation is to hear Chris Tomlin sing the "Amazing Grace" and " Indescribable". My mind is focused that there will only be one band to play and 1 speaker to talk. We are grateful that things happens differently.

There were 2 bands, first is Chris Tomlin's Band, then a new artist named Kristian Stanfill. To our amazement, we ask ourselves who that other person is. But since we don't have any person to ask, we simply sat and listen. As usual, Chris was truly an anointed worship leader. Though his quite popular, he do not praise God just with his voice, it comes from his heart.

Then came Kristian Stanfill, he was new so I didn't expected much. As to my deep surprise, he also was a true anointed worship leader. He sung a lot of songs from the "God of This City" album of Passion Band. One thing I can't forget is the song entitled "Beautiful Jesus". Let me paste below the lyrics:

Your love, oh God
Displayed for us
As crimson covered
Over sinless hands
Your majesty
For all to see
In raging storms and quiet cloudless days

Beautiful Jesus
Beautiful Savior
Nothing is greater, briliant Creator
Friend of mine

You're powerful
Above this world
The universe is under your command

Your glory shines
A holy light
That leads our hearts to praise
Your holy name is on our lips

Beautiful Jesus
Beautiful Savior
Nothing is greater, briliant Creator
Friend of mine
Perfect in power
Matchless in glory
Nothing is greater, brilliant Creator
Friend of mine

My lips will sing
My heart will bring
Praise to you, the holy King
My lips will sing
My heart will bring
Praise to you, holy!


What a very lovely song to sing for God. I was reminded by this song when we practiced with the worship team earlier this afternoon. I tried singing it for God in a very simple way but the lyrics do really glorify God.

I am not really sure if you have realized how beautiful Jesus is, How powerful, how awesome, how lovely. You may have heard this verse a lot of times but this is the beset example of how beautiful Jesus was.

In John 3:16, it is written that God sent His only Son, Jesus, to save our from our sins. And it is written also, "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.".

Have you now realize how beautiful He is?
