Captivated

Someone may have already posted this song at some point but I am so moved by this song and what I am reading in Scripture right now that I just had to post.

Captivated

Your laughter it echoes like a joyous thunder

Your whisper it warms me like a summer breeze

Your anger is fiercer than the sun in its splendor

You're close and yet so full of mystery

Ever since the day that I saw Your face

Try as I may I cannot look away, I cannot look away

Captivated by You

I am captivated by You

May my life be one unbroken gaze

Fixed upon the beauty of Your face

Beholding is becoming so as You fill my gaze

I become more like You and my heart is changed

Beholding is becoming so as You fill my view

Transform me into the likeness of You

This is what I ask for all my days

That I may never look away, never look away

Captivated by You

Captivated by You

May my life be one unbroken gaze

Fixed upon Your beauty, fixed upon Your beauty...

No other could ever be as beautiful

No other could ever steal my heart away

No other could ever be as beautiful

I just can't look away...

This song coupled with reading through the first verses in the letter to the Hebrews just moves me to tears:

"Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs."

Hebrews 1:1-4

I am also reading Jared Wilson's "Gospel Wakefulness" right now and if you have not yet read it, then I highly recommend that you do!
