Ter Scott's Song, "Beautiful Beautiful You"

No one knows what a day will bring, that is why I believe life must be lived in the “now” and with urgency; to “redeem” our days. One lesson I’ve learned is that when we write a book, compose a song or even call or text someone to right a wrong, we should “just get it out there” and tweak it later.

Back on March 8^th, I was inspired to write this song. I don’t have a melody yet and when I do the words may be revised a bit. In following this lesson, for now I will publish it here for all to see and hopefully it may bless all who read it.

BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL YOU

You lift my soul with the sunrise

when you make your mercies new,

You hear my voice and bless my choice

in the day’s work I choose to do.

I rise before dawn to seek your song

and your blessings when I pray,

You satisfy me as I rejoice

and then I gladly go my way.

Yes, I rise early to find you as who you are,

waking the beginning dawn

I know you are my bright and morning star,

which will light the path I’m on.

May your favor be upon me ‘til shadows fall and I see

your wonders through

Thanks for showing me

that all is beautiful;

beautiful, beautiful you.

Thank you for being beautiful

In all and all the wonders you do,

Before dawn starts its shining sun

to meet its morning dew.

And when my day, from work to play

becomes my evening too,

I’ll thank you for being beautiful;

beautiful, beautiful you.

There are more than seven wonders,

in this world you’ve given me,

With your hands you grant color

to even clouds and angry sea.

With your master’s touch there’s more

than one multicolored hue

Which paints my life a blessing,

when I ask for rainbows too.

Help me not to belittle your gift

and be little in the space,

Which you’ve given me to live in free

with talents according to your grace.

So when night’s stars and moon turn to sunrise soon

and I return your gift that’s due,

May you be pleased to have me rise again,

reborn and beautiful too.  

Thank you for being beautiful

In all and all the wonders you do,

Before dawn starts its shining sun

to meet its morning dew.

And when my day, from work to play

becomes my evening too,

I’ll thank you for being beautiful;

beautiful, beautiful you.
