I have been aksed to play the offertory this Sunday. The song I am going to play is "How Beautiful" by Twila Paris. As I was typing the words (to be shown during the piece) I realized the power to the lyrics. I just thought I would share them with you today!!
How Beautiful
How beautiful the hands that served
The wine and the bread and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful the feet that walked
The long dusty roads and the hill to the cross.
How beautiful, how beautiful
How beautiful is the body of Christ.
How beautiful the heart that bled,
That took all my sin and bore it instead.
How beautiful the tender eyes
That chose to forgive and never despise
How beautiful, how beautiful
How beautiful is the body of Christ
And as He laid down His life
We offer this sacrifice
That we will live just as He died:
Willing to pay the price, willing to pay the price.
How beautiful the radiant Bride
Who waits for her Groom with His light in her eyes.
How beautiful when humble hearts give
The fruit of pure lives so that others may live.
How beautiful, how beautiful,
How beautiful is the body of Christ.
How beautiful the feet that bring
The sound of good news and the love of the King.
How beautiful the hands that serve
The wine and the bread and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful, how beautiful,
How beautiful is the body of Christ.
