How beautiful

How Beautiful the hands that served

The Wine and the Bread and the sons of the earthHow beautiful

the feet that walked

The long dusty road 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 sins and bore it instead

How beautiful the tender eyes

That choose to forgive and never despise

How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ

And as He lay 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 love 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

Twila Paris is so good in these words, and the music in this song--indeed so beautiful a Lord--"the fruit of pure love so that others may live." Blessed Holy Week. Blessed Day that He would allow us to partake and become the Body of Christ. There's no story like it. No greater love. Thank you for this sweet joy today. love, Annette
