How Beautiful is This?

This weekend I was on the Fall Retreat for Campus Crusade for Christ at Cal Poly, and saw God move in so many ways there. I'm constantly amazed by His splendor, beauty, and the intimacy of His love.

This was inspired by Kelly, a girl in my discussion group who surrendered her life to Christ in our group Saturday night. I can't even begin to tell you how the Holy spirit moved in that room, through each of us, and in her heart. She truly is a new creation now, and it's evident just by looking at her. How amazing it is when we surrender to the Holy Spirit and allow ourselves to be moved...I'm so excited to have a new sister in Christ!

How beautiful is this
Tears flowing freely
A heart released from pain
From all the suffering she once knew
You opened her eyes
Captured her with Your love like never before
A life turned over
bowed down before the Lord

And oh, how can I even describe how beautiful is this?
Pushed away her pride to the point of brokenness
There You came, ready to redeem the pain
And welcome her in
To Your arms, to true love
to life like she never knew it before
I stand here simply amazed
Let me drink in Your beauty now

Nothing like she knew before
Nothing like she'll ever know now
How beautiful is this?
The angels are dancing, singing with one voice
How beautiful is this?
A new creation is formed, in the likeness of You, Lord
How beautiful is this?
How beautiful is this?
