Two Songs for Sunday, March 24, 2024: Crown Him & Beautiful Things

Crown Him by Chris Tomlin

 Chris Tomlin

 

1 Crown him with many crowns,
the Lamb upon his throne.
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing
of him who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless king
through all eternity.

2 Crown him the Lord of life,
who triumphed o'er the grave,
and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save;
his glories now we sing
who died and rose on high,
who died eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.

3 Crown him the Lord of love;
behold his hands and side,
rich wounds, yet visible above,
in beauty glorified;
no angels in the sky
can fully bear that sight,
but downward bends their burning eye
at mysteries so bright.

4 Crown him the Lord of years,
the potentate of time,
creator of the rolling spheres,
ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity.

 

 


Beautiful Things by Benson Boone

 Benson Boone

 

For a while there, it was roughBut lately, I've been doin' betterThan the last four cold DecembersI recall
And I see my family every monthI found a girl my parents loveShe'll come and stay the nightAnd I think I might have it all
And I thank God every dayFor the girl He sent my wayBut I know the things He gives meHe can take away
And I hold you every nightAnd that's a feeling I wanna get used toBut there's no man as terrifiedAs the man who stands to lose you
Oh, I hope I don't lose youMm
Please stayI want you, I need you, oh GodDon't takeThese beautiful things that I've got
Please stayI want you, I need you, oh GodDon't takeThese beautiful things that I've got
Oh-oh-oh-ohOohPlease don't take
I found my mind, I'm feelin' saneIt's been a while, but I'm finding my faithIf everything's good and it's greatWhy do I sit and wait 'til it's gone?
Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enoughI've got peace and I've got loveBut I'm up at night thinkin'I just might lose it all
Please stayI want you, I need you, oh GodDon't takeThese beautiful things that I've got
Oh-oh-oh-ohOohPlease stayI want you, I need you, oh GodI needThese beautiful things that I've got
