1 – The Beauty of Holiness

Track 1

Nature is wonderful; the Presence of God is better and the source of all of it.



Lyrics:

Many things in the world that thrill my soul most of them are free
Just a touch or taste is a miracle that you would agree
Even so as I grow in heart and mind I’m enchanted less and less
By anything which diminishes the beauty of holiness

I’ve gazed at the stars from a mountain top in crystal winter air
I’ve slept under the moon in a lagoon on a tropical island somewhere
I’ve been in love with a woman to the point of ecstatic excess
But none of these compare for me with the beauty of holiness

When I pour out my cup and drink from that heavenly vine
Imbibing there I care for no other wine
I find I will decline to wear any other dress
Clothed in the mystery and beauty of holiness

This one desire continues increasing in my soul
This holy fire burns entirely out of control
You may find a million things within this world to bless
Still I will remind you of the beauty of holiness

So gaze at the stars from a mountaintop in crystal winter air
Sleep under the moon in a lagoon on a tropical island somewhere
And sing the Song of Songs to your beloved as you caress
And render all your love in the beauty of holiness
