"Beautiful" by Clay Lambert: Reflections on Love That Changed Everything


Clay Lambert's "Beautiful" is a beautiful song that invites you to pause and reflect on the ultimate act of love—Jesus's journey to the cross. An act of love that extends far beyond what we celebrate during Good Friday/Easter, because it affects each day of our lives. The song has a beautiful blend of acoustic warmth and modern worship vibes, and the lyrics lead to gratitude and awe. It's ideal for quiet time and any other moments that you dedicate to reconnecting with the core of your faith. The lyrics remind us of "the bread and wine they broke before His death" and "The kindness of a man willing to die." The message of the song isn't a retelling of a story - it also draws you into the emotion and gratitude.

Clay Lambert - BeautifulThe message in short? Everything about His sacrifice—the betrayal, the silence amid mocking, the steps toward Calvary— can be seen as horrible, but it is also breathtakingly beautiful because of what it accomplished… what it still means for each one of us. "Hallelujah, it is finished," a victory that is also ours. When we sing, "Worthy is Your name," we're celebrating the freedom that was bought through Christ's blood.

This song invites us to see the Savior in a new light, just like the sunrise we see each and every day. If you're ready to worship with reverence and joy, then go ahead and press play.

(Related scripture: John 19:30; Hebrews 12:2; 1 Peter 1:18-19)
