Makes my heart glad

On the way home from church tonight, Ethan requested one of his favorite worship songs, "Beautiful One". We sang it over and over and over again, but I could never tire of hearing words of worship come from my son's mouth:

"Bootiful One I wuv, Bootiful One I a door, Bootiful One my soul must sing!!"
(Beautiful One I love, Beautiful One I adore, Beautiful One my soul must sing!)

I asked him some questions about what he was singing.
Who is the Beautiful One?
--GOD!
What does it mean to love God?
---PRAY!
What does it mean when you say, "I adore?"
--A way out! :)
What do you know about God?
--God can do anything and God can heal me! (One of his favorite characteristics about God--God is great at making Ethan feel better when he has an owie!).

Wonderful, so wonderful
Is Your unfailing love
Your cross has spoken mercy over me
No eye has seen no ear has heard
No heart could fully know
How glorious, how beautiful You are.

CHORUS
Beautiful One I love
Beautiful One I adore
Beautiful One my soul must sing!

Powerful, so powerful
Your glory fills the skies
Your mighty works displayed for all to see
The beauty of Your majesty
Awakes my heart to see
How marvelous, how wonderful You are!

Beautiful One I love
Beautiful One I adore
Beautiful One my soul must sing!

You opened my eyes to Your wonders anew
You captured my heart with this love
Because nothing on Earth is as beautiful as You

Beautiful One I love
Beautiful One I adore
Beautiful One my soul must sing!


***On another note, as I was writing this post and getting so moved about how Christ has already begun to reveal Himself to our son, Ethan was on the toilet. Just as I published this, he is yelling out to me, "Hey! I'm pretending to eat some poop! Peee-ewwww!" Kind of changes the mood around here.... :)
