On this glorious Easter Sunday I offer this video accompanied by Twila Paris singing "How Beautiful". The meaning and beauty of the words needs no explanation.
Please enjoy and may your Easter be blessed with love and beauty!
How Beautiful
Written and performed by Twila Paris
How Beautiful the hands that served
The Wine and the Bread and the sons of the earth
How beautiful the feet that walked
The long dusty roads and the hill to the cross
How Beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ
*****
How Beautiful the heart that bled
That took all my sin and bore it instead
How beautiful the tender eyes
That choose to forgive and never despise
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ
*****
And as He lay down His life
We offer this sacrifice
That we will live just as He died
Willing to pay the price
Willing to pay the price
How Beautiful the radiant bride
Who waits for her Groom with His light in her eyes
How Beautiful when humble hearts give
The fruit of pure lives so that others may live
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ
*****
How beautiful the feet that bring
The sound of good news and the love of the King
How Beautiful the hands that serve
The wine and the bread and the sons of the Earth
How Beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ

This will always be one of my favorites for a couple of reasons. First, because of the awesome and meaningful message and Two, because it was one of the first Contemporary Christian songs I started listening to many years ago. A friend had given me two tapes, one of Twila Paris (How Beautiful was on it) and the other was Susan Ashton. I think I wore those tapes out from listening to them so much.
Anyway, thank you for posting this song that has such special meaning to me! I will be thinking of this song tomorrow! Have a wonderful Easter tomorrow.
Kathy..
From our family to yours.. Have a Blessed Easter Celebration.
