How Beautiful You Are

Michael E. Wood
September 25, 2011

The following came to mind as my beloved Dianna read to me the introduction to “The Art of Prophesying” by William Perkins

How beautiful You are
In all Your attributes to me
Though now I view You
Through the lens of my impurity.


Oh open wider now my eyes
More clearly as I view
All the wonders of Your grace
And mysteries anew.


Not for myself alone but
All of whom You did appoint
To know You through this vessel
Whom Your Spirit did anoint


To proclaim the excellencies
Of Yourself, my King;
Lord Jesus as You are The Christ
To Whom my heart shall sing


With joy though now imperfectly
And yet with holy awe,
Awaiting that pure perfect day
As You are Lord of all!
