A wonderful hymn that is full of seeing God.

Jesus Lord, I'm captured by Thy beauty,
All my heart to Thee I open wide;
Now set free from all religious duty,
Only let me in Thyself abide.
As I'm gazing here upon Thy glory,
Fill my heart with radiancy divine;
Saturate me, Lord, I now implore Thee,
Mingle now Thy Spirit, Lord, with mine.

Shining One - how clear the sky above me!
Son of Man I see Thee on the throne!
Holy One, the flames of God comsume me,
Till my being glows with Thee alone.
Lord, when first I saw Thee in Thy splendor,
All self-love and glory sank in shame;
Now my heart its love and praises render,
Tasting all the sweetness of Thy Name.

Precious Lord, my flask of alabaster
Gladly now I break in love for Thee;
I anoint Thy head, Beloved Master;
Lord behold, I've saved the best for Thee.
Dearest Lord, I waste myself upon Thee;
Loving Thee, I'm deeply satisfied.
Love outpoured from hidden depths within me,
Costly oil, dear Lord, I would provide.

My Beloved, come on spices' mountain;
How I yearn to see Thee face to face.
Drink, dear Lord, from my heart's flowing fountain
Till I rest fore'er in Thine embrace.
Not alone, O Lord, do I adore Thee,
But with all the saints as Thy dear Bride;
Quickly come, our love is waiting for Thee;
Jesus Lord, Thou wilt be satistified.



This is the song of a wonderful brother that went to be with the Lord a few years ago.

In his simple words, weaved into eternally profound truth, is found the complete experience of a believer's relationship with God.

Take the time to not just read these words, but to prayerfully, with much consideration, dwell on the deep meaning of what is being revealed in them.

What does it mean to a believer to be "captured" by the Lord's beauty?

"Shining One - how clear the sky above me," what is the meaning of a clear sky above, and how is our Lord's shining related to this clear sky?

Honestly, if you take the time to consider this hymn I know you will be built up by it. And if you are built up, then the body is built up.


In love,
