The greatest version of Oh, Lord You're Beautiful out there! I think this was recorded the same week he wrote it. Notice, these words are a bit different than the final version he recorded - probably was still working on the lyrics.
Oh Lord, You're Beautiful
Oh Lord, You're Beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your love abounds to me.
Oh Lord, my body's tired
but You keep reminding me
of many holy, tireless men
who spilled their blood for Thee
I want to take your word and shine it all around.
But first help me just to live it Lord.
And if I'm doing well, help me to never make a sound
except to give all the glory to you.
Oh Lord, my faith is small
& I need a touch from You
Your book of books lies undisturbed
& the prayers from me, too few
Oh Lord, please light the fire,
That once burned bright and clear.
Replace the lamp of my first love,
That's fueled with Holy fear.
I want to take your word and shine it all around.
But first help me just live it Lord.
And if I'm doing good, help me to never make a sound
except to give all the glory to you.
Oh Lord, You're Beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your faith abounds to me.
“You will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her feathers with yellow gold.” — Psalm 68:13
“O that I had wings like a dove then I would fly away and be at rest.”
