RADIANT, YOU’RE SO RADIANT
Brighter than the sun.
Glory, crowned with glory,
You’re the majestic One.
I praise with love and adoration,
Overwhelmed by what my eyes now see;
The endless wonder of You, Jesus,
The endless wonder of my King.
I’ll stand in awe of You forever:
You’re breathtaking, life-changing.
Holy, You’re so holy,
Spotless and so pure.
Beauty, O what beauty,
How can I but adore?
