{God's face is B-E-A-UTIFUL}

the song below is such an important song to me. for years, i have been told how beautiful i am to my God, and my creator. years and years of being told that i was a unique and precious creation...
   on a youth retreat last year, we sang this song and it was the first time i had ever heard it. it was one of those moments where you are truly in AWE of who God is and what he does. i had always been told, that when you pray, praise God and THANK Him for what he has done and is doing for you, then ask your requests. i am also always thinking about the characteristics of God, but i had NEVER thought about how "beautiful" God was...let alone think of TELLING/SINGING to him how beautiful he is. singing this song was so liberating and incredible. i hope you understand my short and simple point. telling God HE WAS BEAUTIFUL and to turn that whole process around was a very life changing and emotional moment.
   Here are the lyrics and the link:
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 (x2)

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
