When the storm is raging all around me
You are the peace that calms
My troubled sea
And when the cares of this world
Darken my day
You are the light that shines
And shows me the way

Oh, the beauty of Your majesty
On the cross You showed Your love for me!

Beautiful Lord
Awesome and mighty
I’m captured by this love I see
Beautiful Lord
Tender and holy
Your mercy brings me to my knees
It’s Your mercy that has made me free
Beautiful Lord

When my sin is all that I can see
Your grace remains the shelter that I seek
And when my weakness is all I can give
Your gentle Spirit gives me strength again
And oh, the beauty of Your majesty
On the cross You showed Your love for me

And I am lifted by Your love to sing!
It’s Your mercy that has made me free!

You’re beautiful, my Lord
You’re beautiful, my Lord

Behind the Song:
This track honors God for his loving, merciful character. It succeeds with simplicity. “I think constantly, everyday, we need to thank God for his love on our lives,” says Leeland Mooring. “If it wasn’t for what he did on the cross, we wouldn’t be able to have a relationship with him.” “It’s straight-up telling God how beautiful he is, so it means a lot to us,” adds Jack Mooring. “This has been a staple song of our band for the last couple of years. It’s probably the oldest song on the album.”
