The Beauty of the Lord

The Lord is my light, my salvation He is
Whom then shall I Fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life—yes He is
Of whom shall I be afraid?

Chorus
And with joy I will sing the beauty of the Lord
And with Joy I will sing all my praises to Him
And with joy I will sing of the beauty of the Lord
And with joy I will sing to my King.

When the wicked came upon me to eat of my flesh
My enemies stumbled and fell
Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear
Christ is my confidence still.

CHORUS

One thing I will seek and desire all my days
I will dwell in the House of the Lord
All my life; with all my heart, will I seek His sweet face
And behold the beauty of the Lord.

CHORUS

In the times of my troubles; I’m hidden in Christ
And I will glorify Him
In the secret of the place of His marvelous grace
He will my pavilion be.

CHORUS

And now my head is lifted above my enemies
I will offer sacrifices of joy
And in His tabernacle with joy I now sing
Lord have mercy when you hear my voice.

CHORUS

You spake to my heart through the blood of the Cross
And caused me to hear Your voice.
Your Word gave me life and said, “Seek Ye My face”
My heart will now seek Your face.

CHORUS

In the Land of the Living, Your goodness I see
Or surely I would have lost heart.
We will wait upon You as You strengthen our heart—
And with courage we wait upon You.

And with joy I will sing the beauty of the Lord
And with Joy I will sing all my praises to Him
And with joy I will sing of the beauty of the Lord
And with joy I will sing to my King.
