Lyrics

[Verse 1] Vicky, you walk in and the room gets kinder Like worry loosens in your wake I didn’t invent this kind of wonder I’m only drawn to what God made Your easy joy finds me in the hallway Your quiet strength still steadies mine I want to be with you forever Your beauty points me past your shine [Chorus] Beauty like this points past you Up to the One who made your face I love you best when I give thanks You’re not my trophy, you’re His grace Beauty like this points past you I praise the Giver for your sake He blessed me more than I deserve His greatest gift to me is you [Verse 2] I make my vow with open hands now Not as a man who’s owed your love I promise presence in the ordinary I promise closeness day by day If time should soften what is shining If mirrors change what days once knew I’ll still thank God for how you love me And still be glad I married you [Chorus] Beauty like this points past you Up to the One who made your face I love you best when I give thanks You’re not my trophy, you’re His grace Beauty like this points past you I praise the Giver for your sake He blessed me more than I deserve His greatest gift to me is you [Bridge] Lord, You are kind beyond my asking You put this joy inside my days Keep my eyes from turning worship Toward the gift and off Your name Help me love Vicky like You love us Steady, costly, full of grace And when I look at her in wonder Let wonder lead me back to praise [Chorus] Beauty like this points past you Up to the One who made your face I love you best when I give thanks You’re not my trophy, you’re His grace Beauty like this points past you I praise the Giver for your sake He blessed me more than I deserve His greatest gift to me is you [Outro] I praise the Giver for your sake I praise the Giver for your sake Your beauty points me back to God
