Beautiful and Greatly Loved

Here with you beside your bed
Your Irish eyes are shining
Dizzy thoughts run through your head
As the day is closing
And I look at you the way you look
At fireflies that dance upon the dusk
You are beautiful and greatly loved

You are beautiful and greatly loved
Though the flower may fade
Your worth will never age
The breath of heaven from above
Flows through the both of us
Singing over us
You are greatly loved

As a robin guards the nest
While the chicks are growing
And draws them out towards the edge
To find their wings for flying
So I long to see you rise
And find His grace will always be enough
You are beautiful and greatly loved

You are beautiful and greatly loved
Though the flower may fade
Your worth will never age
The breath of heaven from above
Flows through the both of us
Singing over us
You are greatly loved

There’s a jewel of greater worth
A gentle quiet spirit
A beauty that delights the Lord
And those of old retell it
My aging hands will rest on yours
I’ll tell you ever keep your heart up
You are beautiful and greatly loved

You are beautiful and greatly loved
Though the flower may fade
Your worth will never age
The breath of heaven from above
Flows through the both of us
Singing over us
You are greatly loved
You are greatly loved
