Heart felt describes the way I've approached songwritng ever since I first started writing lyrics in 1977. Crafting thought provoking lyrics then combining them with exciting music to deliver the songs message has always been the goal of every songwriter, myself included.

Story behind the song

I was watching the sun go down before I was to teach a lesson at a songwriters class when the inspiration for this came to me. I wrote the first verse on the whiteboard and asked the class to follow up. When their attempts didn't work, I wrote the 2nd verse on the spot and then the chorus. William McDaniel helped me finish it and wrote the music on the spot. William also played guitar and bass on the recording, then sang it. The drums were tracked live at my church in our first attempt to record it, the rest was done in my my basement. I engineered and mixed it.

Lyrics

I saw the sun go down
in the summer sky,
as the light gave way
to the comming night.
Then the moon crept up
into the corner of the sky,
and the glory of it all
brought a tear to my eye.

And Your beauty amazes me
Your beauty amazes me
Your beauty amazes,
me.

And a new day came
from what I counted as lost,
when I laid my life
at the foot of Your cross.
In the grave I laid
all I once held dear,
and Your perfect love
took away all my fear.

And Your beauty amazes me
Your beauty amazes me
Your beauty amazes,
me.

Your beauty is shown
in the heavens above,
in the heart of a sinner
redeemed by your love.
When I open my heart
and I open my eyes,
I see You've colored my life
like You've colored the skies.

And Your beauty amazes me
Your beauty amazes me
Your beauty amazes,
me.
